Subject Pronouns

I you he she it we you they

The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb. We do NOT normally say: John is tall and John is intelligent. Saying the word "John" twice is repetitive and does not sound natural. We replace the Subject (John) that appears the second time with a subject pronoun to avoid repetition (and in this case to avoid saying the name John again.) So we would say: John is tall and he is intelligent. We replace the second "John" with the Subject Pronoun "He".

When do you use IT?

IT is normally used when we refer to objects, things, animals or ideas (and not normally people). The dog is big. It is also hairy. (It = the dog) My bed is small but it is comfortable. (It = my bed) Sometimes when we don't know the sex of a baby (we don't know if it is a boy or girl), then we can use IT. Their baby is very small. It only weighs 2 kilos. (It = the baby.) We use IT when we talk about the time, weather or temperature. It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock) It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.) It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now)

Object Pronouns

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

The seven basic pronouns have one form when they are used as subjects and another form when they are used as objects. Subjects are what the sentence is about. Objects are what is affected by the action of the subject. I like orange juice. (I is the subject). I read books. (Books is the object as it is receiving the action).

Object Pronouns

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

Object pronouns are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It makes the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb or a preposition.

Object Pronouns

The Object Pronoun - it Be careful when using 'it' as an object pronoun because it is only in the correct context that it has meaning. It needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you are referring to. Compare; You are sitting on it! (The listener probably doesn't know what the speaker refers to). The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It is obvious in the second sentence that the reference is to the letter)
