Choose between subject and object personal pronouns

Key Notes:

🌟 Choose between Subject and Object Personal Pronouns 🌟

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.

  • 👉 Example: Riya is my friend. → She is my friend.

Used before the verb (as the subject).

Examples:

  • I, you, he, she, it, we, they

👉 She runs fast.

👉 They are playing football.

Used after the verb (as the object).

Examples:

  • me, you, him, her, it, us, them

👉 The teacher helped me.

👉 We saw them at the park.

  • 💡 If the pronoun comes before the verb → Subject pronoun
  • 💡 If the pronoun comes after the verb/preposition → Object pronoun

  • Use subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) when the pronoun does the action. 🏃
  • Use object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) when the pronoun receives the action. 🎯

Tip: Ask “Who is doing it?” → subject pronoun. Ask “Who is receiving it?” → object pronoun.

  • The missing pronoun is the subject of the sentence. It tells who enjoys discussing history, art, and music. So, you should use the subject pronoun, they.

2)Select the correct pronoun to complete the sentence.

  • her
  • she
  • The missing pronoun comes after an action verb, select. So, you should use the object pronoun, her.

3)Select the correct pronoun to complete the sentence.


Would you like to go to the fashion show with me?

  • us
  • we
  • The missing pronoun comes after a preposition, with. So, you should use the object pronoun, us.
