Subject Pronouns vs. Object Pronouns: A Simple Guide
Pronouns are words that replace nouns to avoid repetition. There are two main types:
1. Subject Pronouns: These pronouns perform the action of a verb. They are the "doers" of the sentence.
* Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Think of it like this: "I went to the store." (You are the one performing the action of going)
2. Object Pronouns: These pronouns receive the action of the verb. They are the "receivers" of the sentence.
* Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Think of it like this: "The teacher gave me a good grade." (You are receiving the action of "giving")
Here's a simple table for easy reference:
| Subject Pronouns | Object Pronouns |
|---|---|
| I | me |
| You | you |
| He | him |
| She | her |
| It | it |
| We | us |
| They | them |
Remember:
* Subject pronouns start the sentence or act as the subject of the verb.
* Object pronouns are the object of the verb or a preposition.
Examples:
* Subject pronoun: She is going to the party.
* Object pronoun: The dog chased her.
Important note: You can also use pronouns as possessive pronouns to show ownership (e.g., mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs).
