Question

What is the difference between an objective pronoun and a subjective pronoun?

Answer 1

Subjective pronouns function as the subjects of sentences while objective pronouns are found in the predicate of the sentence, as the object of the action described by the verb.

Explanation:

Subjective pronouns are to be found as the subject of a sentence; that is, they are the ones initiating the action described by the verb.

For example:

1. I ate the apple pie.
2. We decided to plan a holiday together.
3. They finally settled the dispute amicably.

Objective pronouns function as the direct or indirect object of the verb and will be found in the predicate of the sentence.

For example:

1. Duke's behaviour hurt him tremendously.
2. The judge granted bail to them .
3. That trophy was given to me for my performance in sports.
