This document discusses personal pronouns and their use as subject and object pronouns in English sentences. It provides tables that list the subject and object forms of each pronoun and examples of how to use pronouns as subjects and objects. It also discusses using pronouns after prepositions and includes exercises for the reader to practice identifying subject and object pronouns.

1. Personal Pronouns

2. Subject/Object Pronouns
Pronouns are words we use in the place of a full
noun.
We have both subject and object pronouns:

3. Subject/Object Pronouns
Subject Object
I me
you you
he him
she her
it it
we us
you you
they them

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
