Grammar review
Direct object pronouns
A direct object pronoun replaces the noun that the action happens to. Each subject pronoun has a matching object form: I→me, we→us, he→him, she→her, they→them. You and it don't change.
Position: the object pronoun comes directly after the verb or preposition.
She thanked ______. / They visited ______. / I don’t like ______.
Common error: using subject pronouns in object position.
The subject form "he" becomes "______" as an object; "she" becomes "______"; "they" becomes "______".
