Subject and object pronouns in English

Object pronouns

What are object pronouns?

An object pronoun functions as the object of a verb or preposition, as distinguished from a subject pronoun, which is the subject of a verb.

Examples:

• He asked her to live with him. (her is the object of the verb asked and him is the object of the preposition with)
• She told them the truth. (them is the object of the verb told)

Object pronouns substitute object nouns, usually because we already know what the object is.

• She's my friend. I really enjoy being with her.
• I like this film. I saw it last week.

Object Pronouns

Object pronouns in English are the following:

me, you, him, her, it, us, them

Object pronouns come after either a verb (e.g "like") or a preposition (e.g "to").
Examples:

• I like you but you don't like me.
• Do you really like her?
• She loves sitting next to him.
• She always writes e-mails to us.
• He's talking to her about it.
