Subject Pronouns
| PERSON | SINGULAR | PLURAL |
| 1 | I | WE |
| 2 | YOU | YOU |
| 3 | HE/SHE | THEY |
The subject of a sentence is the person or object of interest. When it is a person, the subject is the one performing the action.
I like pizza.
S V O
The grammatical word order is subject-verb-object in English, so in most cases* the subject is the word(s) before the verb.
Pronouns are used to replace nouns. If the subject is the noun being replaced, you use a subject pronoun. Let’s look at some examples:
- The girl is smart. —- She is smart.
- Ben and Sarah are cousins. —- They are cousins.
Object Pronouns
| PERSON | SINGULAR | PLURAL |
| 1 | ME | US |
| 2 | YOU | YOU |
| 3 | HER/HIM/IT | THEM |
The object of a sentence is the person or object receiving the action. The object can be replaced by an object pronoun.
- I like the pizza. —- I like it.
S V O - Mark hit Ben. —- Mark hit him.
S V O - I hate Sally and Derek! —- I hate them!
S V O
*There are some cases in which the word order is inverted, such as asking questions.
