| Rules to Remember 📝 |
| Rule | Compound Subject | Compound Object |
|---|---|---|
| Pronoun type | Subject pronouns | Object pronouns |
| Examples | He and I went swimming 🏊 | She saw him and me 👀 |
| Verb agreement | Use plural verb if joined by “and” | N/A |
| Easy Tricks 🌈 |
1. Always check if the pronoun is a subject or object.
- Subject = does the action? (He runs)
- Object = receives the action (I see him)
2. Joined by “and” = usually plural.
3. Joined by “or” = verb agrees with the closest subject.
