Subject and Object Pronouns

Subject and Object Pronouns

Shaping My Language

​Subject Pronouns

A subject pronoun is a pronoun that takes the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence.

​

The subject is the person or thing that performs the action of a verb.

Subject pronouns can be singular or plural, and they can be masculine, feminine or neutral.

​Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb.

We do NOT normally say:

​

John is tall and John is intelligent.

​

Saying the word "John" twice is repetitive and does not sound natural.

We replace the Subject (John) that appears the second time with a subject pronoun to avoid repetition (and in this case to avoid saying the name John again.)

So we would say:

​

John is tall and he is intelligent.

​

We replace the second "John" with the Subject Pronoun "He".

​Object Pronouns

​An object pronoun functions as the object of a verb or preposition.

​

​Object pronouns are used instead of object nouns, usually because we already know what the object is.
