๐ What are Direct Object Pronouns?
A direct object pronoun replaces the noun that receives the action of the verb.
Instead of repeating the noun, we use me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
๐ Example:
- Anna likes Tom.
- Anna likes him.
๐ Subject vs. Object Pronouns
Hereโs a simple chart to show the difference:
| Subject Pronoun | Object Pronoun | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | She likes me. |
| You | you | I know you. |
| He | him | I see him. |
| She | her | We help her. |
| It | it | I love it (the book). |
| We | us | The teacher helps us. |
| They | them | We like them. |
๐ Examples in Sentences
- Mom hugs me.
- I see him at school.
- We love her โ she is our teacher.
- The dog follows us.
- Dad helps them with homework.
๐ซ Common Mistakes
| โ Wrong | โ Correct | Why? |
