ESLGold Pronouns Lyrics
p___ouns are used in place of nouns. They enable speakers to refer to something or someone without having to repeat its name.
Example:
Mr. Jones lives in Kentucky. He frequently travels to Memphis to see his wife. She is a lawyer and only sees him on weekends.
The subject and object p___ouns in English are as follows:
Subject
I
You
He
She
It
We
They
Object
Me
You
Him
Her
It
Us
Them
Use subject p___ouns when the p___oun refers to the doer of the action or the main topic (subject) of the sentence.
Henry hit a baseball over the fence.
He didn't know where it would land.
It went right through Mrs. Crabby's window.
She was furious. She called Henry's parents and told them what happened.
Henry had to pay for the window with his hard-earned money.
He wasn't too happy about that, but he learned a lesson.
Now, he only plays baseball at the ball park.
Use object p___ouns when the p___oun refers to the receiver of the action or is the object of a prepositional phrase.
Ms. Lindon met her husband in a gold mine.
The first time she saw him, she was in love.
He also liked everything about her.
He asked her to marry him the next day.
Many friends joined them in the wedding celebration.
Reminders:
Do not use subject p___ouns in the object position or vice versa.
