Pronoun Case Lesson

​

Pronoun: a word that replaces a noun

Subjective/Nominative

​I, you, he, she, they, we, it, who

​Me, you, him, her, them, us, it, whom

Possessive

​My, mine, his, hers, your, yours, their, theirs, our, ours, its, whose

Subjective case pronouns...

act as the subject of the sentence.

​

She was taking notes.

We ate icecream for dinner. ​

act as a direct object, indirect object, or object of the preposition.

​

I threw the ball to him.

​

I gave them a cake.

​

She and me went to the store?​
