1. Subject of a Verb:
* He is going to the store.
* She loves to dance.
* We are excited for the trip.
* They finished their homework early.
* I am happy to see you.
* You are a great friend.
2. Predicate Nominative:
* This is he. (He is the subject of the verb "is" and renames the subject "this")
* The winner is she. (She is the subject of the verb "is" and renames the subject "the winner")
3. Appositive to a Subject:
* She, the new student, joined the class. (She renames the subject "the new student")
* We, the team, won the game. (We renames the subject "the team")
Important Note: It's crucial to distinguish the nominative case from the objective case, where pronouns are used as objects of verbs or prepositions.
Objective Case:
* The teacher gave him a reward. (him is the object of the verb "gave")
* I sent a letter to her. (her is the object of the preposition "to")
By understanding the difference between nominative and objective cases, you can ensure you are using pronouns correctly and grammatically.
