Part 3: Case of Pronouns worksheet 1

Subject case Object case

Singular Plural singular plural

1st I We me us

2nd You You you you

3rd He him

She They her them

It it

When wondering which pronoun to use in a sentence, use this method.

1. Look at the verb. If it is an action verb, go to 2. If it is linking, go to 3.

2. Find the subject. (if the pronoun will be the subject, choose subject case.) Any other pronoun in the sentence will be objective.

3. If the verb is linking, both subject and predicate pronoun will come from the subject case. Objects of prepositions still come from objective case.

Directions: Choose the correct pronoun.
