A pronoun case error occurs when a subjective pronoun is used as an object; or an objective pronoun is used as a subject in a sentence.Example: I sent the email to she. (the pronoun 'she' is a subject pronoun used as the object of the preposition 'to')
The three cases for pronouns are:
Subjective (nominative) pronouns are used only for the subject of a sentences or clause.
Objective pronouns are are used only for the object of a verb or a preposition.
Possessive (genitive) pronouns:
"who" is a subjective pronoun (subject of a verb).
Example: "She is the one who won the game."
"whom" is in the objective case (a pronoun that is the object of a verb).
Example: "Jake is whom I went to the mall with."
An objective case pronoun can be the object of a verb or the object of a preposition.
The objective case pronouns are: me, us, you, him, her, it, they, and whom.
EXAMPLES
Object of the verb: The car service will pick us up at five.
Object of the preposition: I pickd up some lunch for you.
A subject pronoun (also called a nominative pronoun) functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause.
The 3 pronoun cases are:
subjective (or nominative) case; the pronoun is the subject of a sentence or clause.
objective case; the pronoun is the object of a verb or a preposition.
possessive case; the pronoun is used to show possession.
Examples:
Case subjective: John is coming, he will be here at four.
Case objective: Jack and Jill are coming; I'm expecting them at four.
Case possessive pronoun: The blue car with the ticket is mine.
Case possessive adjective: My car is the blue one with the ticket.
A pronoun case error occurs when a subjective pronoun is used as an object; or an objective pronoun is used as a subject in a sentence.
Example: I sent the email to she. (the pronoun 'she' is a subject pronoun used as the object of the preposition 'to')
There are eight different cases of pronouns. They are relative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, interrogative pronouns, possessive pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and intensive pronouns.
'I' is the subjective case, 'me' is the objective case, - and 'my' is the possessivecase.Here is an example sentence of four clauses. In each clause the subjective case pronoun is used first and the underlined objective case pronoun is used last:-"I wrote to her, she wrote to them, they wrote to him, and he wrote to me."
The pronoun in the objective case is me, a personal pronoun.I = personal pronoun, subjective casemine = possessive pronoun, takes the place of a noun in the subjective or objective casemy = possessive adjective, describes a subjective or objective noun
The pronoun 'you' is the subjective case, the subject of the sentence.The pronoun 'him' is the objective case, direct object of the verb 'saw'.
The pronoun 'your' is the possessive, second person, subjective pronoun; your is both singular and plural.
what do you like about her hairThe pronouns in the sentence are:what, subjective case (an interrogative pronoun), subject of the sentence;you, subjective case (a personal pronoun), subject of the dependent clause;her, possessive case (a possessive adjective), describes the noun 'hair'.
A pronoun in the subjective case functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, a subject complement (predicate nominative), or an object complement. A pronoun in the subjective case can also function as direct address (Hey you...) but can be considered impolite.
A subjective case pronoun may not follow anything. A subjective case pronoun can start a sentence or fall somewhere within a sentence.Examples:George takes the train to work. He gets off at 19th Street. (the subjective pronoun 'he' starts the second sentence as the subject of that sentence)The train that he takes to work stops at 19th Street. (the subjective pronoun 'he' is the subject of the relative clause)
"She" is a third person singular pronoun that is used to refer to a female person or animal. It is considered a subjective pronoun when it functions as the subject of a sentence.
They is a third person, subjective, plural pronoun.
Subjective or objective.
In order to deliberately misuse an objective case pronoun as a subjective case pronoun you would have to know which was which.The objective case pronouns are: me, him, her, us, them, and whom.All other pronouns can be either objective or subjective, including you and it.To misuse the six objective case pronouns, make them the subject of a sentence or a clause.
'I' is the subjective case, 'me' is the objective case, - and 'my' is the possessivecase.Here is an example sentence of four clauses. In each clause the subjective case pronoun is used first and the underlined objective case pronoun is used last:-"I wrote to her, she wrote to them, they wrote to him, and he wrote to me."
The pronoun in the objective case is me, a personal pronoun.I = personal pronoun, subjective casemine = possessive pronoun, takes the place of a noun in the subjective or objective casemy = possessive adjective, describes a subjective or objective noun
It is absent from this sentence. There is only a subjective case pronoun.
Subjective pronouns are used only for the subject of a sentences or clause.The subjective pronouns are I, you, we, he, she, it, and they.
The pronoun 'you' is the subjective case, the subject of the sentence.The pronoun 'him' is the objective case, direct object of the verb 'saw'.
The pronoun 'your' is the possessive, second person, subjective pronoun; your is both singular and plural.
