Instructions
Let's review pronouns! A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun (a person, place, or thing). This helps us avoid repeating the same nouns over and over.
There are two main types we will look at today:
- Subject Pronouns: These are the "doers" of the action in a sentence. They tell you who or what is doing something.
Example: She kicked the ball. ("She" is the one doing the kicking.) - Object Pronouns: These "receive" the action in a sentence. The action is happening to them.
Example: The ball hit him. ("Him" is the one receiving the action of being hit.)
Here is a handy chart to help you remember:
| Subject Pronoun (The Doer) | Object Pronoun (The Receiver) |
|---|---|
| I | me |
| you | you |
| he | him |
| she | her |
| it | it |
| we | us |
| they | them |
