1 Subject and Object pronouns

2 Definitions Pronoun=word that replaces a noun Subject=the noun/pronoun doing the action in the sentence Object=the noun/pronoun receiving the action in the sentence (after the verb)

3 Subject and object pronouns
Singular Subject/Object Plural 1st person I----Me We----Us 2nd person You---You You (guys, all)----You (guys, all) 3rd person He, She, It, Who---Him, Her, It, Whom They, Who-----Them, Whom

4 Basic rule Use the subject pronouns as subjects Use the object pronouns as objects (DO, IO, OP)

5 Examples My mother and (I/me) went to the store.
Trick: if there are two nouns/pronouns, ignore the other one when making your choice Examples My mother and (I/me) went to the store. The gift was for my brother and (I/me) Did you ever give (he/him) a present? Did you give both (she/her) and (he/him) the notice? There is no problem between (we/us) siblings.

6 Examples Did you ever catch the person (who/whom) stole your pencil?
Trick: when deciding for who/whom, try thinking of the difference between he and him Examples Did you ever catch the person (who/whom) stole your pencil? (Who/whom) did you buy it for? I bought the card for (she/her) and (I/me). I don’t know anyone (who/whom) lives in Antarctica. (Who/whom) do you call?

7 Review Quiz They never heard from my mother and (I/me) again
Did you ever hear about the fight between my friends and (I/me)? I think we all know (who/whom) we’re voting for. It’s time that (we/us) students stood up for our rights. Now you’re just somebody (who/whom) I used to know.
