What kind of pronouns are there in the English language?
Subject ( he is a doctor )
Object ( she teaches me )
Reflexive ( I always talk to myself )
Possessive ( you are mine and I am yours ) ( this is my car )1

Tariq = He
You and me = We
You and I = We
She and her = They
Car = It
Ali, me and you = We
They and Sara = They
She and I = We

Grammar Lesson Four
Pronouns Part Three
Object Pronoun
Object Pronoun: When we use a pronoun at the place of object, it is called ‘Object Pronoun’. for eg) me, us, you, it, them, him, her
Object pronouns in English are the following:
me | مجھے |
you | تو، تم، آپ |
him | ان کو(مرد کے لیے) |
her | ان کو(عورت کے لیے) |
us | ہمیں |
them | انیں |
it | یہ |
Object pronouns come after either a verb (e.g “like”) or a preposition (e.g “to”).
Examples:
Can she help us?
They visited her yesterday
She wrote him a letter
I will give you money
Can you tell me your name?
I like you but you don’t like me.
Do you really hate her?
She loves sitting next to him.
She always writes e-mails to us.
He’s talking to her about it.
Ahmed blows out the candles on his birthday cake.
Word – Candles is the Object of the above sentence. We can use them instead of Candles; as,
He blows out them on his birthday cake.
