Object pronouns are words that replace the object of a sentence. In other words, they receive the action of the verb.

Here are the object pronouns in English:

Quick Tip to Remember:

The subject does the action, and the object receives the action.

• She invited them.
  – “She” is the subject (the one doing the inviting), and “them” is the object (the one being invited).

More examples

1. I called him last night.
   → “Him” is the object of the verb “called.”
2. Can you help me?
   → “Me” receives the action (help).
3. We saw them at the market.
   → “Them” is the object receiving the action “saw.”
4. Don’t touch it!
   → “It” is the thing that shouldn’t be touched.
5. They invited us to dinner.
   → “Us” is the lucky group getting the dinner invite!

Common Mistake:

Sometimes people confuse subject and object pronouns, especially when more than one person is involved.

🚫 Incorrect: Me and Sarah went to the store.
✅ Correct: Sarah and I went to the store.

🚫 Incorrect: He gave the gift to Sarah and I.
✅ Correct: He gave the gift to Sarah and me.
