What is the difference between subjective and objective pronouns?

Here's the breakdown of the difference between subjective and objective pronouns:

Subjective Pronouns

* Function: They act as the subject of a sentence or clause, meaning they perform the action.

* Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

* In a sentence: *I* went to the store. *She* is reading a book. *They* are playing outside.

Objective Pronouns

* Function: They are the object of a verb or preposition, meaning they receive the action.

* Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

* In a sentence: The dog chased *me*. He gave the book to *her*. We talked to *them*.

Here's a helpful way to remember:

* Subjective: Think of "subject" as the one doing the action.

* Objective: Think of "object" as the one receiving the action.

Here's an example to illustrate:

* Subjective: *She* wrote a letter. (She is the subject performing the action)

* Objective: He wrote a letter to *her*. (Her is the object receiving the letter)
