Kinds of Pronouns
Subject pronouns ( e.g. I, you, he, it, she, they) are subjects of sentences.
He rode to the park.
Object pronouns (e.g. me, you, her, him, us, them) are objects of verbs or
prepositions.
Kenya went to town with her.
Reflexive pronouns (e.g. myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself) match
the subject.

linking verb. These pronouns are sometimes
called predicate nominatives.
Subject pronouns express subjective case.
The winner was I. The strongest are we.

 Use objective case for direct and indirect objects
as well as for objects of a preposition.
