A subject pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause.
An object pronoun functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Example subject pronouns:
- Mother is coming today. She will be here at ten. (the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'mother as the subject of the second sentence)
- My neighbor loves to garden. Some flowers that he grew have won prizes. (the pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'neighbor' as the subject of the relative clause)
Example object pronouns:
- I picked up the cat and held it in my lap. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'cat' as the direct object of the verb 'held')
- The boys will be here soon, so I made some lunch for them. (the pronoun 'them' takes the place of the plural noun 'boys' as the object of the preposition 'for')
