Object

pronouns
In linguistics, an object pronoun is a personal
pronoun that is used typically as a grammatical
object: the direct or indirect object of a verb, or the
object of a preposition. Object pronouns contrast
with subject pronouns.

Object pronouns are those pronouns that receive

the action in a sentence. They are me, you, him,
her, us, them, and whom.

Subject pronouns are those pronouns that

perform the action in a sentence. They are I, you,
he, she, we, they, and who.
The seven basic pronouns take on different forms
when used as object pronouns rather than as
subject pronouns:

I becomes Me
You becomes You (applies for singular and plural)
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.
It is quite common to use object pronouns for
descriptions because -mainly- becomes easier to
refer about the actions on each situation.

A good description is sensory writing (think: taste,

touch, smell, sound, sight). You need to put the
reader in the moment your are describing. Make
sure your writing is varied and rich in figurative
language.

We can consider this topics for a good description:

 Opening – Main shot

Start by describing the whole scene in detail

choosing words carefully to establish tone and
mood. Mention something that you will return to in
your last paragraph to frame your writing.

Zoom

Next, focus on one detail in the scene and describe

it in detail; suggest its importance to the scene. Use
figurative language to add sophistication.
 Change perspective
Imagine the scene through the eyes of someone
who is there – what are they thinking and feeling?
Remember to show rather than tell. For example,
how does she feel about the situation she is in?
About the scene in front of her?

Zoom again
Pick on another detail to describe but try to find
something that contrasts with what has gone
before, something that makes the listener think.
Why might this be important? Well chosen
adjectives, verbs and figurative language can add
layers to your writing.
 Ending – emotion

Finally, focus on one more detail that ties in with

your first paragraph – this is a moment to
introduce an alternative mood or feeling; perhaps
highlight the different human emotions. Finish by
creating an emotional atmosphere.

Choose a picture, you have 60 seconds to watch

it. Then write down the best description you can.
