Types of Pronoun

 

Pronouns are words that we use in the place of nouns in a sentence to make it less repetitive and less awkward.

 

Subject Pronouns

A subject pronoun is a pronoun that acts for the subject of the sentence. For Example;

I am fat

We are elder

You are slim

You are athletic

He is tall

She is gorgeous

It is large

They are obese

 

Object Pronouns

An object pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a grammatical object, either as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition. These pronouns always take the objective case, whether they are indirect object pronouns or direct object pronouns.

Me - Can you help me?

You – I know you.

Him – She is not in love with him.

Her – He phones her every day.

It – I don’t like it.

Us – Wait for us.

Them – Call them in the evening
