Grammar and Notes:

Pronouns:
In Thai the pronoun does not change when it is before or after a verb. But in English it changes to a different word. But the word before the verb and the one after the verb has the same meaning. English uses different words to tell who does the action of the verb (subject) and who receives the action (object).

Pronoun/noun + verb + Pronoun/noun I hit Fai Fai hit me

??/h4> ? ?: ???? ?????? ? ?????? ? ??????? ?? ???? ?????????????? ??????? ?? ????? ??? ?? ? ????? ??? ? ? ? ?/h4> ? ? /? + ?? + ? ? /? I hit Fai.( ?? Fai hit me.(? ) ? ??? ??? ?? "I" ?? "me" ??????? ? " " ? "I" ? ?????"me" ? ??

Pronoun as the Object

Often when a pronoun is used as the object the preposition of, to, or for is used with the verb to express the action is received by the Object pronoun. Which preposition is used depends on the verb used. This you will have to memorize. You will learn more about this later. ????? ???b of, to ?? for ? ????? ??? ? ?? ? ?? ??? ?? ? ????? ? ??/h4> This book isfor her. Give that pencilto him. I thinkof you.
