Subject pronouns, object pronouns? My name is Arnel. Lesson objectives: What
is a pronoun? Subject pronouns. Object pronouns. Test. What is a pronoun? First,
what is a noun? A noun is: Something. A cup is a noun, a doughnut, a dog. A noun can also
be abstract. Love is a noun. Happiness is a noun.
Memory is a noun. So, a pronoun represents a noun.
Arnel/teacher... I. Student... you. David/my father/my brother... he. Christina/my mother/
my sister... she. A house/New York/my nose... it. Arnel + student... we. Jane, Richard...
they. The subject pronoun does the action. I love coffee. You live in Barcelona. He
plays football every day. She has two cats. We are best friends. They are
married. Remember with he/she/it you need the third person verb. I like,
you like, he/she/it likes, we like, they like. I wash dishes, you wash dishes,
he/she/it washes dishes, we wash dishes, they wash dishes. Typical mistake: My
mother is 55 years old, he is a piano teacher. My mother, he? My mother, SHE.
Noun, Arnel/teacher. Subject pronoun, I. Object pronoun, me. Student, you, you. David/
my father/my brother, he, him. Christina/ my mother/my sister, she. Object pronoun, her.
A house/New York/my nose, it, it. Arnel + student, we. Object pronoun, us. Jane,
Richard, they, them. The object receives the action. My teacher gave me a new book.
My teacher gave I? Tina likes you. The class sang happy birthday to him. To he?
Michael married her. Lightning hit it. This cake is for us. This cake is for
them.
Let's compare: Subject pronouns and object pronouns. He gave me a new book.
She likes you. They sang happy birthday to him. He married her. It hit it. It is
for us. It is for them. Why do we need subject and object pronouns? For example:
Anastasia, Alexander and Eleonora live with Elizabeth and Benjamin. Anastasia,
Alexander, and Eleonora don't like Elizabeth and Benjamin.
Anastasia, Alexander, Eleonora also work with Elizabeth and Benjamin.
There's too much repetition. It is not natural, use pronouns! Alexander, Anastasia,
Eleonora live with Elizabeth and Benjamin. They don't like them. They also
work with them.
TEST: I want you to change the vocabulary in the red to a subject or an object
pronoun. For example, I love these cookies. These cookies, plural, object. Them! Let's
go!
My uncle is a famous trumpet player: HE. Do you know where my phone is? IT. I can't
find my keys anywhere: THEM. Josephine and Carl have been together for 16 years:
THEY. I hate the rain: IT. You and I should see a movie together: WE. Tim and Fiona
invited you and me to their birthday party. They invited us too
