Quick and Handy Grammar Review: Subject and Object Pronouns
Pronouns are short words that stand in for nouns. Pronouns refer to nouns that have already been mentioned. They have
many uses. The following is a list of types of pronouns:
1. Subject pronouns
2. Object pronouns
3. Relative pronouns
4. Possessive pronouns
5. Reflexive pronouns
6. Demonstrative pronouns
7. Indefinite pronouns
We will analyze the first three types in this unit and the last four in the next one.
Subject Pronouns:
First person singular I First person plural we
Second person you Second person yo
singular plural u
Third person h Third person the
singular e plural y
she the
y
it the
y
Notes:
● I is the only pronoun that is always capitalized. The other pronouns are capitalized only when they are the
first word in the sentence.
● When I is combined with another subject, I goes second (example: Simón and I are good friends).
● Although it is sometimes used in spoken English slang, me is incorrect as a subject form. For example, Hank
and me went to the game is a mistake.
● In English, there is no second person plural form. You is used for both singular and plural.
● Unlike many other languages, there is no distinction in address in English; that is, there are no familiar and formal
forms for the word you. “You” is used when speaking to an animal or the president of a company, for one person
or twenty people.
● The distinction between masculine, feminine, and neuter forms (he, she, and it) in the present is lost in the plural.
The word “they” works for all subjects.
● For animals, use it unless you know and love the animal. Then use he or she.
Notes:
● Object pronouns may serve as the object of a verb or the object of a preposition.
● All object pronouns are in lowercase unless they are the first word in a sentence.
● As with subject pronouns, there is no distinction between familiar and formal forms of you.
● As with subject pronouns, there is no distinction between third person masculine, feminine, and neuter forms in
the plural. Them is the only third person plural pronoun used.
