Unit 6 — Object Pronouns
In English, pronouns change form depending on their role in the sentence:
- Subject pronouns do the action: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
- Object pronouns receive the action (or come after a verb / preposition): me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Subject vs. Object Pronouns — Reference Table
| Subject pronoun | Object pronoun | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | She called me yesterday. |
| you | you | I will help you tomorrow. |
| he | him | I saw him at the park. |
| she | her | We invited her to the party. |
| it | it | Please put it on the table. |
| we | us | The teacher gave us homework. |
| they | them | I waited for them at the bus stop. |
How to choose the correct pronoun
- Find the verb. Ask: who is doing the action? → that’s the subject. Use I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
- Then ask: who or what receives the action? → that’s the object. Use me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
- After a preposition (to, for, with, about, of, at, on…) always use the object pronoun: to me, with them, about her.
More Examples
- The dog followed me home. (me = object of the verb “followed”)
- Can you wait for us? (us = after the preposition “for”)
- I really like him. (him = receives the verb “like”)
- Mom made dinner for them. (them = after preposition “for”)
- I bought a book and read it in one day. (it = object of “read”)
Quick tip: If the pronoun comes after a verb or a preposition, use the object form.
Practice — Choose the correct pronoun
Read each sentence and choose the pronoun that fits. Watch out for sentences where the pronoun replaces a name or a noun phrase. At the end you’ll see your score and can retest only the questions you missed.
