Personal Pronouns
Subject/Object Pronouns
Pronouns are words we use in the place of a full noun.
We have both subject and object pronouns:
Subject/Object Pronouns
Subject Object
I me
you you
he him
she her
it it
we us
you you
they them
Subject/Object Pronouns
We use he/him to refer to men, and she/her to refer to women. When we are not sure if we are talking about a man or a woman we use they/them.
● This is Jack. He’s my brother. I don’t think you have met him.
● This is Angela. She’s my sister. Have you met her before?
● Talk to a friend. Ask them to help you.● You could go to a doctor. They might help you.
Subject Pronouns
We use subject pronouns as subject of the verb:
● I like your dress.● You are late.● He is my friend● It is raining● She is on holiday● We live in England.● They come from London.
Warning!
Remember: English clauses always have a subject:
● His father has just retired. Was a teacher. > He was a teacher.
● I’m waiting for my wife. Is late. > She is late.
If there is no other subject we use it or there.
We call this a dummy subject.
Object pronouns
We use object pronouns as the object of the verb:
● Can you help me please?● I can see you.● She doesn’t like him.● I saw her in town today.● We saw them in town yesterday, but they didn’t
see us.
Object pronouns
We use object pronouns after prepositions:● She is waiting for me.● I’ll get it for you.● Give it to him.● Why are you looking at her?● Don’t take it from us.● I’ll speak to them.
