Strategy

It is important to know the five forms of pronouns and the prossessive adjectives that are often confused with them. Errors may include the use of one type or form of pronoun in place of another.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

I we

you you

he/she/it they

• when ir is the subject of a verb.

• when the subjects of the two clauses are compared.
They are more protected against the cold than we (are),

• After the verb to be.
It is be with the egg.

• After as and than.
She is not as tired as he (is).

Circle the correct pronoun
1. It is she/her who goes to find food.
2. He/Him has the responsibility of incubating the egg.
3. She/Her lays one egg.

OBJECT PRONOUNS

me	us
you	you
him/her/it	them

The object pronoun is used
• when it is the direct object of a verb.
She gives him the egg.

• after prepositions.
When she returns, she takes over the egg from Mm,

But when the preposition introduces a new clause, the subject pronoun must be used because the pronoun is now the subject of the new clause.
He leaves after she returns.

• when the objects of two clauses are compared.
It is easier for them than us.

Correct the pronoun errors in the following sentences where necessary.
1. He helps she take care of the baby penguin.
2. She lays her egg and then leaves.
3. They feed them until they can swim.
4. It is not easy for they to survive under such conditions.
5. It is harder for him than for she.
6. He goes to the sea after she returns
