What are pronouns?
Pronouns are words that replace nouns. Instead of saying "The cat sat on the mat," we can say "It sat on the mat." "It" is a pronoun replacing the noun "cat."
What are object pronouns?
Object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the receiver of the action. They are typically used after verbs or prepositions.
Plural object pronouns are used when referring to multiple people or things as the receivers of the action. Here are the common plural object pronouns:
* us (we are the recipients of the action)
* you (you are the recipients of the action)
* them (they are the recipients of the action)
Examples:
* The teacher gave us a quiz. (Us is the object of the verb "gave")
* I sent you a message. (You is the object of the verb "sent")
* The dog chased them down the street. (Them is the object of the verb "chased")
Important Note: "We" and "they" are subject pronouns, while "us" and "them" are object pronouns. Be sure to use the correct pronoun depending on its role in the sentence.
