When do you use pronouns in the objective case?

Answer 1

Objective pronouns are pronouns that are used only for the object of a sentence or phrase. Some objective pronouns are me, us, him, her, and them.

Some pronouns can be used as the subject or the object of a sentence or phrase, for example you and it.

Answer 2

Pronouns take the place of nouns. For example, in the sentence "John went to the store," you could say "He went to the store." Other pronouns include she, it, him, and her.

Often pronouns refer to a person or thing that has already been mentioned eg

John went to the store, he bought an ice cream. Unfortunately he dropped it on the ground.

he = John

it = ice cream.

Answer 5

Pronouns are words that take the place of a noun in a sentence. Pronouns perform the same functions in a sentence as nouns; as the subject of a sentence or clause and the object of a verb or a preposition. When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it.

Example:

• Mary and John bought a new house. Mary and John have asked for volunteers to help paint Mary and John's new house.

OR, using pronouns:

• Mary and John bought a new house. They have asked for volunteers to help paint their new house.

Example:

• Andrew left Andrew's house early because Andrew was excited about the excursion at Andrew's school that day.

OR, using pronouns:

• Andrew left his house early because he was excited about the excursion at his school that day.
