Common Pronouns in English

ALULA 员工, 更新于 August 10, 2023

  • Pronouns replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition.
  • Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) are used as the subject of a sentence.
  • Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them) are used as the object of a sentence.

In English, we use pronouns to avoid repeating the same nouns. If we constantly repeated a person's name or a specific thing, the sentence would be tedious and confusing. There are many kinds of pronouns, but let's focus on two basic types: subject pronouns and object pronouns.

Subject Pronouns

Picture of pronouns

Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence. The subject is the person or thing doing the action. Here are the subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they.

Examples:

  • I love pizza.

    Here, 'I' is the subject pronoun.

  • They play soccer every weekend.

    In this case, 'They' is the subject pronoun performing the action.

Object Pronouns

Object pronouns, on the other hand, are used as the object of a sentence. The object is the person or thing receiving the action. The object pronouns are: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them.

Subject pronouns and object pronouns correspondence

Examples:

  • She likes him.

    In this sentence, 'him' is the object pronoun receiving the action.

  • You are helping us.

    Here, 'us' is the object pronoun.

Once you've mastered these basic pronouns, you've taken a big step forward in improving your English! Keep practicing and soon you'll get the hang of it.
