When do you use IT?

It is normally used when we refer to objects, things, animals, or ideas (and not normal people).

 The dog is big. It is also hairy. (It = the dog)

 My bed is small but it is comfortable. (It = my bed)

Sometimes when we don't know the sex of a baby (we don't know if it is a boy or girl), then we can
use IT.

 Their baby is very small. It only weighs 2 kilos. (It = the baby.)

We use IT when we talk about the time, weather, or temperature.

 It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock)

 It is cold today. (= The weather is cold today.)
 It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now)

I Me

He Him

You (plural) You
They Them
Object pronouns are usually used instead of nouns because we already know the object. It makes
the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns
after a verb or a preposition.

Examples

I like horses. Subject Pronoun

Horses don't like me. Object Pronoun
We talk to our neighbor. Subject Pronoun
She talks to us. Object Pronoun
They listen to the teacher. Subject Pronoun
She listens
Object Pronoun
to them carefully.
You speak very quickly. Subject Pronoun
We watch you on TV. Object Pronoun

The Object Pronoun - it

Be careful when using 'it' as an object pronoun because it is only in the correct context that it has
meaning. It needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you are referring
to. Compare;

 You are sitting on it! (The listener probably doesn't know what the speaker refers to).
 The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It is obvious in the second sentence that the
reference is to the letter)
 Possessive adjectives
Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership of something. While we use them
when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship than ownership.
The possessive adjectives in English are as follows:
