The Subject and Object Pronouns

The Subject Pronouns

The Subject Pronouns act as the subject of the sentence.

I am cold.

He likes football.

'I' and 'he' are subject pronouns.

The subject pronouns are: I, you, he/she/it, we, they.

Remember:

We use ‘he’ for a man and ‘she’ for a woman.

We use ‘it’ to talk about a thing and an animal.

‘They’ is the plural form for men, women, things and animals.

In many languages, there is a special polite or formal pronoun. In English, there is no polite pronoun.

Object Pronouns act as the object of the sentence.

A: Do you like football? B: Yes, I love it.

'I' is the subject pronoun.

It (football) is the object pronoun.
