Choose between subject and object pronouns

Learning Objectives Differentiate between subject (nominative) and object (objective) case pronouns with 90% accuracy. Correctly identify the grammatical function of a pronoun (subject, predicate nominative, direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition) in complex sentences. Accurately select the correct pronoun in compound constructions (e.g., 'My classmates and I/me'). Correctly use pronouns in comparative statements involving 'than' or 'as'. Effectively analyze and correct pronoun case errors in their own analytical essays and in provided literary excerpts. Distinguish between 'who' (subject) and 'whom' (object) and apply them correctly in subordinate clauses. Ever worried that a simple mistake like 'My fri...

TermDefinitionExample Pronoun CaseThe form a pronoun takes to indicate its grammatical function in a sentence. The three cases are nominative (subject), objective (object), and possessive (ownership).In 'She gave the book to him,' 'she' is in the nominative case, and 'him' is in the objective case. Subject Pronoun (Nominative Case)A pronoun that acts as the subject of a verb or as a predicate nominative after a linking verb. (I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who)In the sentence, 'We analyzed the text,' 'We' is the subject pronoun performing the action 'analyzed'. Object Pronoun (Objective Case)A pronoun that acts as a direct object, an indirect object, or the object of a preposition. (me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom)In '...

The Subject/Predicate Nominative Rule Use a subject pronoun (I, he, she, we, they, who) when the pronoun is the subject of the verb OR when it follows a linking verb (is, are, was, were, etc.) to rename the subject. This rule applies to the doer of the action or the word that is being identified with the subject. To test a compound subject, say the sentence with only the pronoun. For example, in 'The students and (I/me) read the novel,' test 'I read the novel,' not 'Me read the novel.' The Object Rule Use an object pronoun (me, him, her, us, them, whom) when the pronoun is a direct object, an indirect object, or the object of a preposition. This rule applies when the pronoun receives the action of the verb or follows a preposition. For compound...
