Subject and Object Pronouns Excercise

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

What is a Subject Pronoun ? A Subject Pronoun is a pronoun that functions as the subject of the sentence; therefore it is located in the subject (Who or What) of the sentence.  

Singular Subject Pronouns are “I, You, He, She, and It” and Plural Subject Pronouns are “we,you and they”.

For Example: Julia was hungry. She ate an apple for lunch.(Here “She” is Singular Pronoun).
 
Subject pronouns replace the subject of a sentence with I, you, he, she, it, we or they.

I have already explained the Subject and Object Pronouns in my earlier post.

OBJECT PRONOUNS

What is an Object Pronoun ? An Object Pronoun is a pronoun that takes the action of the Verb. Because it is the object of the action, it is located in the predicate or action part of the sentence.

Singular Object Pronouns are “me, you, him, her,it” and Plural Object Pronouns are “ us, you, them”.

For Example: 

Jame’s mom gave him an apple. (Here “him” is Object Pronoun)
Julia accidentally spilled milk on Martha and me. (Here ”me” is Object pronoun)

Object pronouns replace the object of the sentence with me, you, him, her, it,
us, or them.
