Object pronouns (GRAMMAR)

The seven basic pronouns have one form when they are used as subjects and another form when they are used as objects.
Subjects are what the sentence is about. (See more about Subject Pronouns)
Objects are what is affected by the action of the subject.
  • I like orange juice. (I is the subject).
  • I read books. (Books is the object as it is receiving the action).

Object pronouns are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It makes the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb or a preposition.
