When we use a personal pronoun in a sentence, we have to make sure we use the correct form of the pronouns, the subject pronouns or object. The subject is the person/animal/thing that does the action. On the contrary, the object is the person/animal/thing that receives the action. Let’s the following examples:
Subject Pronouns and Object Pronouns Examples
I like this house. (I = subject)
She wants the house. (she = subject)
We must buy the house. (we = subject)
My wife wanted me to buy the house. (me = object)
I told her I liked the house.
The property agent wanted us to buy the house. (us = object)
