Remember subject pronouns are the ones doing the action, so usually they are the
most important part of the sentence. They are the focus of the sentence.
Examples of subject pronouns:
She gave him a present.
I am giving you a gift.
They give you presents on your birthday.
We have a present for you.
It is a gift for you.
You are buying a CD Player for your sister.
Object pronouns
Object pronouns are the receiver of the action of the verb.
She saw him.
Did you buy this for me?
The teacher taught her.
I bought it for you.
They will give you a present on your birthday.
The school gave us a book.
We gave them some money.
Possessive adjectives
Remember a possessive adjective must be followed by a noun. The noun it
describes.

Possessive pronouns
Possessive pronouns are like possessive adjectives except they don't need a noun
after.

If we already know what we're talking about we can say- “This is mine”.

Where is yours?
These are ours.

I = subject
like = verb
presents = direct object
We are going to look at some special verbs. We call them phrasal verbs and
native speakers use them a lot when speaking.
switch on
switch off
turn up
turn down
hand in
hand out
give up
turn over
hang up
get up
Notice that we use prepositions with these verbs. phrasal verbs are special because
you can't usually find them in a dictionary and they can sometimes change their
meaning when we use them in different sentences or when we talk about different
situations.
Like normal verbs we use phrasal verbs with different tenses by changing the verb
part.
He is hanging up his coat.
I hung up the phone when I finished my call.
