Grammar Point: 
Parts of the Sentence - Pronouns


Pronouns take the place of nouns. Pronouns can be in one of three cases: Subject, Object, or Possessive.




Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. You can remember subject pronouns easily by filling in the blank subject space for a simple sentence.
Example:
______ did the job.
I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank and are, therefore, subject pronouns.

Subject pronouns are also used if they rename the subject. They follow to be verbs such as is,arewasweream, and will be.


Example:
It could have been them.




Object pronouns are used everywhere else (direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition). Object pronouns are meyouhimheritus, and them.
Examples:
Jennifer talked to him.
Are you talking to me?






Instructions: Choose the correct form of the pronoun and tell why you chose it.
1. (I, Me) went to the movie.
2. (Him, He) is my best friend.
3. (They, Them) will be here soon.
4. (She, Her) ran happily down the street.
5. There (we, us) went.
6. (Who, Whom) is it?
