Subject Pronouns

Sometimes it can be hard to tell between subject and object pronouns.

Subject pronouns are exactly what they sound like; they are pronouns that replace the subject in
the sentence. Once you understand what a subject is, it will be very easy to tell what type of
pronoun to use to replace it.

Let's take our example from before, "The boy traveled with friends." In this sentence, "the boy"
is performing the action - the subject is "the boy." If you want to use a pronoun to replace this
subject, we need to think of which of the pronouns would make sense here:

I, we, you, he, she, it, or they

Read the sentence out loud to yourself and instead of saying "the boy," try replacing the subject
with one of the pronouns. In this example, a good subject pronoun would be "he." The sentence
becomes "He traveled with friends."

Object Pronouns

Now we can move on to the object pronoun. With object pronouns you are trying to find replace
the object in the sentence, or what is being done to, from, or with the action. In our above
example, "The boy traveled with friends." The object is "friends."

Object pronouns have their own list of words that can be used to replace repetitive nouns. This
list includes:

me, you, him, her, it, us, and them

Again, try finding the appropriate object pronoun to replace "friends" from our original example.
You could try saying "The boy traveled with them" or "The boy traveled with us." Each pronoun
could be correct as long as you continue speaking in the same person
