Download Pronouns replace nouns

Pronouns replace nouns. We use them so we don’t keep saying the same noun again and
again.
Example: Mohammed wakes up every morning. Mohammed eats breakfast.
Mohammed takes a shower. Mohammed brushes his teeth. Mohammed goes to
school.
Mohammed is the subject of the sentence. He does the verbs (wakes up, eats, brushes,
goes).
We can replace Mohammed (the noun) with the subject pronoun he.
Mohammed wakes up every morning. He eats breakfast. He takes a shower. He brushes
his teeth. He goes to school.
Subject Pronouns:
I
you
he
she
it
we
they
Subject pronouns go at the beginning of the sentence. They go before the verb.
subject

verb

Object
Example: Hayder likes soccer. He likes soccer.
Maria lives in Arizona. She lives in Arizona
Usually, the subject is who or what does the verb:
He threw the ball.
Subject pronouns tell us who did the verb.
Who threw the ball? He (subject pronoun) threw the ball.
Object pronouns: me
you
him
her
it
us
them
An object is a part of a sentence. It is someone or something (a noun or pronoun) that
gets the action (the verb). The object of a sentence tell us which noun got the verb.
He threw the ball.
What got the verb? The ball. The ball is the object.
We can replace the object (the noun) with an object pronoun.
He threw it (the ball). The pronoun (it) replaces the noun (ball).
A direct object gets the verb. A direct object answers the question "What?"


Marissa repaired her car - her car is the direct object of the verb repair ( What
did Marissa repair? The car.)
The man visited the school - the school is the direct object of the verb visited
(What did the man visit? The school.)
FORM Object pronouns go after the verb. Object pronouns tell us which noun got the
verb.
subject+ verb + object
Heam wrote the letter. The letter is the direct object.
Heam is the subject. She did the action (the verb) wrote. The letter is the object.
He
threw
the ball.

Use subject pronouns for subjects of sentences and object
pronouns for objects of sentences.
