Choose between subject and object pronouns

Key Notes :

What Are Pronouns?

Pronouns are words that replace nouns to avoid repetition.
👉 Example: Ravi is my friend. He plays football.
Here, He replaces Ravi.

Subject Pronouns (Do the action)

These pronouns act as the subject of a sentence — the one who performs the action.

✅ List of Subject Pronouns:
👉 I, You, He, She, It, We, They

🧩 Examples:

  • I like chocolate. 🍫
  • She is reading a book. 📖
  • They are going to the park. 🌳

🧠 Tip: If the pronoun comes before the verb, it’s usually a subject pronoun.

Object Pronouns (Receive the action)

These pronouns act as the object of a verb or preposition — the one who receives the action.

✅ List of Object Pronouns:
👉 Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them

🧩 Examples:

  • The teacher praised me. 👩‍🏫
  • I saw her at the mall. 🛍️
  • The gift is for them. 🎁

🧠 Tip: If the pronoun comes after the verb or preposition, it’s usually an object pronoun.

How to Choose Correctly?

Ask yourself these questions:

1️⃣ Who is doing the action? → Use Subject Pronoun
2️⃣ Who is receiving the action? → Use Object Pronoun

🧩 Example:

  • (She/Her) gave the book to (I/me).
    ✅ She gave the book to me.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Me and my friends went to the party.
✅ My friends and I went to the party. 🎉

🚫 The teacher called I.
✅ The teacher called me. ☎️
