In past classes, we have been working with ways to show possession. We worked with: possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns and object pronouns.

In here we have some information on object pronouns:

A pronoun is the word that takes the place of the noun. The subject pronouns are the pronouns that are the subject of a sentence (I, you, he, she, it, we, they)

Mary has a car ——> She has a car

Peter and I are happy —–> We are happy

The ‘Object Pronouns’ or complement pronouns are the pronouns used as a complement of the verb or after a preposition (me, you, him, her, it, us, them)

Peter buys flowers for Lorraine —–> Peter buys flowers for her

I like those shoes —–> I like them

Don’t confuse them with the possessive adjectives. The possessive adjectives are adjectives, so they come before a noun. The pronoun substitutes the noun, so they come alone.

Possessive adjective: Tom and Bob live with their parents

Object pronoun: Tom and Bob live with them

Simple right?  Remember that if you need more practice you can always go online and look for more explanations about these topics.
