 Definition:: It is a pronoun that is used as an object in the sentence.
 Remember: A subjective or subject pronoun does the action and goes BEFORE
the verb while object pronouns go AFTER the verb.
 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. (See more about Subject Pronouns)
Objects are what is affected by the action of the subject.
PRONOUNS
 I like orange juice. (I is the subject).
Subject Pronoun Object Pronoun
 I read books. (Books is the object as it is receiving the action).
I Me
You You
He Him
She Her
It It
We Us
You (plural) You
They Them
OBJECT PRONOUNS :

 SINGULAR: —> Me (first person) You (2nd) Her / him / it (third person)
 PLURAL —> Us (1st) You (2nd) Them (3rd)
 Object pronouns in English are the following: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Object pronouns come after either a verb (e.g "like") or a preposition
(e.g”to”)

 Examples:
 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.
 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.

Examples
I like horses. Subject Pronoun
Horses don't like me. Object Pronoun

We talk to our neighbour. Subject Pronoun

She talks to us. Object Pronoun

They listen to the teacher. Subject Pronoun

Listen to me carefully. Object Pronoun

You speak very quickly. Subject Pronoun

We watch them on TV. Object Pronoun
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)
