Is a subject always a noun?
No, a subject can also be a pronoun or a noun phrase that performs the main action of the sentence.
Which pronoun should you use in this sentence The teacher will be he or him?
The appropriate pronoun is 'he'. In the sentence the pronoun he, takes the place of the noun 'teacher' as the subject complement following the linking verb 'will be'. A pronoun functioning as a subject complement (predicate nominative) is always a nominative (subjective) form.
What is the subject and personal pronoun?
The subject of a sentence is what the sentence is about. The subject is usually near the beginning of a sentence, but not always. For example, the subject 'mom':My mom bakes homemade cookies.Although she works full time and doesn't have much free time, my mom bakes homemade cookies.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun; a personal pronoun represents a specific person or thing. The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them. You will note in the second sample sentence above, the use of the pronoun 'she' to represent 'mom' in the beginning.The subjective pronouns I, you, we, he, she, it, and they are the pronouns used as subjects of a sentence.
When a personal pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence is it in the nominative case?
Yes, a subjective pronoun is ALWAYS nominative case.A subjective pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause.Examples.They are my favorite flowers. (subject of the sentence)The man who called is my neighbor. (subject of the relative clause)When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. (subject of the second part of the sentence)
Where to use he and him?
"He" is a nominative Pronoun (Subjective) and "Him" is accussative pronoun (Objective) so subject always comes before verb and object always comes after verb. Thus He is used as the subject of the sentence and him is used as the object of the sentence. He is eating an apple. (He-Subject) An apple is eaten by him. (Him- Object)

Can himself be used as the subject in a sentence?
No, the pronoun 'himself' is a reflexive pronoun used to 'reflect back' to the subject in a sentence. Example: Dad made himself some breakfast. The pronoun 'himself' is also a intensive pronoun used to emphasize its noun antecedent. Example: Dad himself made breakfast. Even when the pronoun is the first word in a sentence, it is not the subject of the sentence. Example: Himself a cook, dad always makes breakfast. (reflexive use of the pronoun, the subject of the sentence is 'dad')
