Answer 1

A subject pronoun or an object pronoun is based on where it's used in a sentence.

Explanation:

The subject is what a sentence (or a clause) is about. The subject usually (but not always) precedes the verb (the doing or being word).

The object in a sentence can be the object of a verb or the object of a preposition.
-- The object of a verb follows that verb. The object may be a direct object or an indirect object.
-- The object of a preposition follows that preposition.

Some examples to help illustrate:
He is coming.
-- The pronoun 'he' is the subject of the sentence, the person we're talking about.

I invited him.
-- The pronoun "I" is the subject of the sentence, the person driving the action.
-- The pronoun "him" is the direct object of the verb "invited", the one directly receiving the action.

I gave him a call.
-- The pronoun "him" is the indirect object; the direct object of the verb "gave" is the noun "call", what I gave.

I made lunch for him.
-- The pronoun "him" is the object of the preposition "for".

He is a friend of mine.
-- The pronoun "he" is the subject of the sentence.
-- The pronoun "mine" is the object of the preposition "of".

Now, let's try the subject of a clause. A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought, not a complete sentence by itself. Example:
The direct object of the verb gave is the noun call, what I gave
-- The clause is "what I gave" which has a subject (the pronoun I) and a verb (gave).
-- The pronoun "I" is the subject of the clause.
