All about Subject and Object Pronouns.

Pronouns are used when we don't want to repeat a noun or a noun phrase.

The English subject pronouns are:

I, you, he, she, it, we, they

(Of course, we use 'you' when we're talking to one person and when we're talking to more than one person.)

Subject pronouns are used when they are the subject of a verb.

I like London.

You have eaten the chocolate.

He plays football.

Then, there are also object pronouns.

These are me, you, him, her, it, us, them.

(Notice that 'it' and 'you' are the same when they're subject pronouns or object pronouns.)

We use object pronouns in most situations when the pronoun is not the subject of a verb.

We use them for the object of a verb.

John knows me.

We use them after a preposition (including after phrasal verbs).

It's important to me.

We use them after 'be'. (In very formal English, the subject pronoun is sometimes used here, but this is very old-fashioned and unusual.)

Who's there? It's me!

We use them with short answers.

A: Who's there? B: Me!
