English Personal Pronouns Exercise 1

|

level: Beginner (A1/A2)

Personal pronouns do a lot of work in English — they replace nouns as subjects, objects, and more, keeping sentences from becoming repetitive. This exercise covers both subject pronouns and object pronouns in a variety of sentence types.



Grammar review Personal pronouns

English personal pronouns change form depending on their role in the sentence.

Subject pronouns (used before a verb):
First person singular, second person, third person masculine/feminine/neuter, first person plural, second person plural, third person plural.

Object pronouns (used after a verb or preposition):
Each subject pronoun has a corresponding object form. First person singular (I) becomes me; first person plural (we) becomes us; third person plural (they) becomes them. The second person and neuter forms stay the same.

Key rule: Use subject forms before verbs; use object forms after verbs and prepositions. Mixing them up is one of the most common English grammar errors.
