What are object pronouns?
An object pronoun, also called objective pronoun, functions as the object of a verb or preposition, as
distinguished from a subject
or subjective pronoun, which is the subject of a verb.
Examples:
·
He begged her to live with him. (her is the object of the verb begged and him is the object of the preposition with)
·
She told them the truth. (them is the object of the verb told)
Object pronouns are used instead of object nouns,
usually because we already know what the object is.
·
She's my friend. I
really enjoy being with her.
·
I like this film. I saw it last week.
Object Pronouns
Object pronouns in English are the following:
me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Object pronouns come after either a verb (e.g "like") or
a preposition (e.g "to").
Examples:
·
I like you but you don't like me.
·
Do you really hate her?
·
She loves sitting next
to him.
·
She always writes
e-mails to us.
·
He's talking to her about it.
