4. WHAT IS AN OBJECT
PRONOUN?.
An object pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a
grammatical object, either as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object
of a preposition. These pronouns always take the objective case, whether they are
indirect object pronouns or direct object pronouns. The seven basic pronouns take
on different forms when used as object pronouns rather than as subject pronouns:
I becomes Me
You becomes You (this rule applies for singular and plural use)
He becomes Him
She becomes Her
It becomes It
We becomes Us
They becomes Them

7. •Direct Object. The direct object is the thing being acted on by the verb. For example:
• They caught her last week.
("Her" is the direct object of the verb "caught." "Her" is an objective personal pronoun.
It is the objective-case version of the subjective personal pronoun "she.")
•Indirect Object. The indirect object of a sentence is the recipient of the direct object.
For example:
• I sent him a letter.
("Him" is the indirect object of the verb "sent", i.e., the recipient of "a letter," which is
the direct object. "Him" is the objective-case version of "he.")
•Object of a Preposition. The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun
governed by a preposition. For example:
• It is a donation from them.
("Them" is the object of the preposition "from." "Them" is the objective-case version of
"they.")
8. WHAT IS AN SUBJECT PRONOUN?
• Defining a Subject Pronoun
• Subject pronouns replace the subject of a sentence or clause. Like all
types of pronouns, they function as the type of noun they are
replacing.
• The subject pronouns in English are:
• I
• you
• he
• she
• it
• we
• they
