MATERI       : OBJECTIVE PRONOUNS AND POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Object pronouns are also called objective pronoun, function as the object of a verb or preposition, as distinguished from a subject or subjective pronoun, which is the subject of a verb.

Examples:

a.       They begged to their parents to take them to visit the zoo this weekend.

b.      My teacher gave me a lot of homeworks.

Object pronouns are used instead of object nouns, usually because we already know what the object is.

c.       She’s my friend. I really enjoy being with her.

d.      I like this film. I saw it last week.

Objective pronouns come after either a verb (e.g “like”) ar a preposition (e.g “to”)

Examples:

a.       I like you but you don’t like me.

b.      Do you really hate her?

c.       The cat loves sitting next to him.

d.      She always writes e-mails to us.

e.       He’s talking to her about it.

Objective pronouns in English are the following:

me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
