Subject and object

pronoun

By: Claudia Pisconti

 Subject and object pronoun
Function: Replace proper names and nouns
Subject pronouns It’s the person or thing who performs the action of
the verb. It goes before the verb.

Subject pronouns Examples:

I I read an interesting book last
night.

He He talked about history in class.

She She taught English in a school.

It It jumped to the tree.

We We went to the market.

You You bought a new car.

 It goes after the verb. It can be a person or an object.

Object pronouns It complements the verb; it receives its action.

You can use prepositions like “for”, “to”, “with” or “at”.

Object pronouns Examples:

Me (mi) Amelia told me a great story.

Him (a él) His father bought him a new car.

Her (a ella) I brought a present for her.

It (a eso, a esa, a ese) (book) I forgot it in the classroom.

Us (a nosotros)(as) They came with us.

You (a ti, a ustedes) I really love you.

Them (a ellos, a ellas, a esos, a esas) I wanted to see them.

 Indirect and direct objects
Some verbs can take two objects.
In these cases, a person is the indirect object and a thing is the direct
object.

• I bought him a present.

• She told me a story.
• My father gave me a book.
“for” – para , “to” – a , “with” – con or “at” – en/a
We use a preposition when we use a direct object after the verb.
And the indirect object comes after a preposition.

• I bought a present for him. • I bought him a present.

• She told a story to me. • She told me a story.
• My father gave a book to me. • My father gave me a book.
