Subject Pronouns vs Object Pronouns

Subject and Object Pronouns are types of PERSONAL PRONOUNS that are used to replace nouns in sentences. Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, while object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of the sentence.

Thus, subjective pronouns tell us who or what the sentence is about, while objective pronouns receive the action in the sentence.

Subject pronouns include: I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. These pronouns are used to replace the subject of a sentence.

Example:

Instead of saying “John is going to the store,” you could say “He is going to the store.”

Object pronouns include: me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. These pronouns are used to replace the object of a sentence.

Example:

Instead of saying “John gave the book to Mary,” you could say “He gave it to her.”

It’s important to use the correct type of pronoun depending on whether it is the subject or object of the sentence, as using the wrong pronoun can make the sentence confusing or grammatically incorrect.
