Pronouns are words we use in the place of a full noun.
We have both subject and object
pronouns:

I

|

|

|

|

|

We use he/him to refer
to men, and she/her to refer to women. When we are not sure if we
are talking about a man or a woman we use they/them.
This is Jack. He’s my brother. I
don’t think you have met him.
This is Angela. She’s my sister. Have you met her before?
Talk to a friend. Ask them to help you.
You could go to a doctor. They might help you.

Subject
pronouns
We use subject pronouns as subject
of the verb:
I
like you
You are smart boy
He is my friend
It is raining
She is on a doctor
We see them
They come Palembang
You are smart boy
He is my friend
It is raining
She is on a doctor
We see them

Warning

Remember: English clauses always
have a subject:
His father has just retired.
I’m waiting for my wife.
If there is no other subject we
use it or there. We call this a dummy
subject.

Object
pronouns
We use object pronouns:
• as the object of the verb:
Can you take me up?
I can see you.
Joe doesn’t like him.
I like her very much.
We help them.
I can see you.
Joe doesn’t like him.
I like her very much.
We help them.
• after prepositions:
They look at me.
I’ll get it for you.
Give it to him.
Why are you looking at her?
Don’t take it from us.
I’ll speak to them.
I’ll get it for you.
Give it to him.
Why are you looking at her?
Don’t take it from us.
I’ll speak to them.
