II. Content

Object Pronouns
INTRODUCTION
This lesson explains the correct usage of pronouns. They replace nouns. A
different pronoun is required depending on two elements: the noun being
replaced and the function that noun has in the sentence.

III. Content Development

Object Pronouns

An object pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a

grammatical object, either as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the
object of a preposition. These pronouns always take the objective case,
whether they are indirect object pronouns or direct object pronouns.

The seven basic pronouns take on different forms when used as object
pronouns rather than as subject pronouns:

• I becomes Me
• You becomes You (tnis rule applies for singular and plural use)
• He becomes Him
• She becomes Her
• It becomes It
• We becomes Us
• They becomes Them

If you know how to find the object of a sentence, then you will find it very easy
to identify an object pronoun when you see one. To find the object of a
sentence, locate the nouns and verbs and mentally separate them from the rest
of the words the sentence contains. Both the subject and object of the
sentence will be nouns or pronouns. The subject will be the one doing the
action the verb describes. The object is the noun or pronoun receiving the
action. Making things even simpler, when the object is not a noun, it’s an object
pronoun.

Just like subject pronouns, object pronouns can be singular or plural,

masculine, feminine, or gender neutral. The masculine or feminine subject
pronoun is used whenever the gender is known. When referring to the weather,

temperature, time, an inanimate object or a child or animal of undetermined

gender, the neuter form “it” can be used.

Object Pronoun Examples

In the following examples, the subject is in bold, the verb is in italics, and the
object pronoun is in bold and is underlined.

• Bob took her to work Monday.

• Will you please tell them to come in?
• He told you a lie about where he was Saturday.
• Our grandparents gave us candy and our teeth are just fine.
