Choose between subject and object personal pronouns
Key Notes:
🌟 Choose between Subject and Object Personal Pronouns 🌟
🔹 What are Pronouns? |
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.
- 👉 Example: Riya is my friend. → She is my friend.
🔹 Subject Pronouns (Who does the action? 🏃) |
Used before the verb (as the subject).
Examples:
- ✨ I, you, he, she, it, we, they
👉 She runs fast.
👉 They are playing football.
🔹 Object Pronouns (Who receives the action? 🎯) |
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.
🔹 Easy Trick |
- 💡 If the pronoun comes before the verb → Subject pronoun
- 💡 If the pronoun comes after the verb/preposition → Object pronoun
