This document discusses subject and object pronouns, as well as direct and indirect objects. It defines subject pronouns as replacing nouns in subject position and object pronouns as replacing nouns in object position. Examples are provided of sentences with subjects and objects that are replaced with pronouns. The document then discusses how some sentences have both direct and indirect objects, with the direct object answering "what" and the indirect object answering "to whom." Practice examples are provided for identifying subjects, direct objects, and indirect objects, as well as replacing them with pronouns.
