Subject vs Object Pronouns - Easy Exercises

A1 Level

Subject pronouns are the words we use for the person doing the action: I, you, he, she, it, we, they. Object pronouns are the words for the person receiving the action: me, you, him, her, it, us, them. Subject pronouns come before the verb, and object pronouns come after the verb or after small words like "to," "for," and "with." For example: "She called him" — "she" is the subject (who called?) and "him" is the object (who was called?).

A common mistake is using "me" as a subject: "Me and Tom went to the shop" should be "Tom and I went to the shop." After words like "to," "for," "with," and "between," always use an object pronoun: "between you and me" (not "between you and I"). Notice that "you" and "it" are the same in both subject and object forms, so they never cause problems. This exercise helps you practise choosing between the five pronouns that change: I/me, he/him, she/her, we/us, they/them.

Quick Rule

subject pronoun + verb + object pronoun

  • 1.She told him about the meeting. (subject "she" does the action, object "him" receives it)
  • 2.We invited them to the party. ("we" is the subject, "them" is the object after the verb)
  • 3.He didn't call her yesterday. (negative — "he" is the subject, "her" is the object)
  • 4.I saw them at the shops. ("I" is the subject, "them" is the object)
  • 5.They gave us a lovely present. ("they" is the subject, "us" is the object)
