What Are Object Pronouns?
Object pronouns are words that replace a noun when that noun is the object of a verb or a preposition. This means the noun receives the action of the verb.
They help us avoid repeating the same noun many times. This makes your sentences sound more natural.
- Subject pronouns (like I, he, she) do the action.
- Object pronouns (like me, him, her) receive the action.

When Do We Use Object Pronouns?
You use object pronouns in two main situations:
- After a verb: The object pronoun receives the action of the verb. For example, in I see him, him receives the action of see.
- After a preposition: Prepositions are words like to, for, with, at, about. For example, in Talk to me, me comes after the preposition to.
Remember, object pronouns always come *after* the word that they are the object of.
Which Object Pronouns Should I Use?
Each subject pronoun has a matching object pronoun. It is important to learn these pairs.
- Использование it и them for things, animals, or places. For example, I like the book. I read it.
- For people, use me, you, him, her, us, them.
| Subject Pronoun | Object Pronoun | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | I talked to Manuel. He called me. |
| you | you | You were in town. I saw you. |
| he | him | He’s a great singer. I like him. |

For Spanish speakers, a common mistake is using a subject pronoun like she или he when an object pronoun like her или him is needed. In Spanish, the subject and object forms are often the same or very similar (e.g., ella for both ‘she’ and ‘her’ in some contexts, or él for ‘he’ and ‘him’).
- Неправильно: I see he.
- Правильно: I see him.
- Неправильно: Give the book to she.
- Правильно: Give the book to her.
Always remember that after a verb or a preposition, you need an object pronoun in English.
