Subject and Object Pronouns

I/me, he/him, she/her, we/us, they/them - when to use each

beginner

When to Use

•Subject pronouns as subject of verb: I work. She sings. They arrived.
•Object pronouns as object of verb: He saw me. I called her. We met them.
•Object pronouns after prepositions: for me, with him, to us.
•Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
•Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.

How to Form

Affirmative (+)

Subject pronoun + verb; Verb + object pronoun

Negative (-)

Subject pronoun + don't/doesn't + verb

Question (?)

Verb + subject pronoun? (Do you...?)

💡 You and it are the same for subject and object.

Examples

✓She and I went to the store.

✗Her and me went to the store.

Subject of 'went' needs subject pronouns.

✓The teacher called him and me.

✗The teacher called he and I.

Object of 'called' needs object pronouns.

✓Between you and me, it's a secret.

✗Between you and I, it's a secret.

After preposition, use object pronoun.

Common Mistakes

💡 Practice Tips

• Subject does the action: I/he/she/we/they.
• Object receives the action: me/him/her/us/them.
• After prepositions: always object (for me, with them).
• Test: remove the other person. 'Me went' sounds wrong → 'I went'.
