What type of pronoun comes after a verb?

The type of pronoun that comes after a verb depends on the verb's function in the sentence. Here's a breakdown:

1. Subject Pronouns:

* These pronouns are the subject of the verb, meaning they perform the action.

* They come before the verb, not after.

* Examples: I am happy. He is reading. We went to the park.

2. Object Pronouns:

* These pronouns are the object of the verb, meaning they receive the action.

* They come after the verb.

* Examples: She saw me. He called her. We helped them.

3. Reflexive Pronouns:

* These pronouns reflect back to the subject of the verb. They are used when the subject and object are the same.

* They often come after the verb, but not always.

* Examples: He hurt himself. She bought herself a new dress. We enjoyed ourselves.

4. Other Types:

* Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs) are used to show ownership and typically come before the noun they modify.

* Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) are used to point to something specific and usually come before the noun they modify.

Example Sentence:

"They gave me a gift, and I thanked them for it."

* They - subject pronoun

* gave - verb

* me - object pronoun

* I - subject pronoun

* thanked - verb

* them - object pronoun
