Pronouns are words that replace nouns. A pronoun used as the subject of a sentence or phrase is a subjective pronoun; a pronoun used as the object of the sentence or phrase is an objective pronoun. Some pronouns can only be used as a subject and some pronouns can only be used an object and some pronouns can be used as either.
Subjective pronouns: I, we, they, he, she.
Objective pronouns: me, us, them, him, her.
Pronouns that can be either subjective or objective: you, it
Example objective pronoun sentences:
My mom made us some Sandwiches.
The teacher chose me to deliver the opening address.
Did you invite them?
That book belongs to him.
My dad made it for you.
subject - His dog killed my cat object - My cat scratched his dog
The pronoun 'them' is the indirect object of the sentence.
Their is a possessive pronoun, the third person plural. The pronoun their can be use as the subject or the object of a sentence.
The personal pronoun 'her' is an object pronoun. In the given sentence, the word 'her' is the direct object of the verb 'can help'.
There is no pronoun used as an object. The pronoun 'you' is used twice in the sentence. The pronoun 'you' can be a subject or an object pronoun. The first 'you' is the subject pronoun, the subject of the sentence. The second 'you' is the subject of the noun clause 'what you expected to see'; the clause is the object of the sentence but the word you is the subject of that clause.
The objective pronoun is a pronoun that functions as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:direct object of the verb: We saw them at the mall.indirect object of the verb: We gave her our old car.object of the preposition: We had a good time with him.
The object pronoun is her, object of the preposition 'to'.
Example sentence:I wrote you this sentence. (direct object is 'sentence, indirect object is the personal pronoun 'you')
