In past classes, we have been working with ways to show possession. We worked with: possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns and object pronouns.
PRONOUNS | POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE | POSSESSIVE PRONOUN | BELONG TO | |
I | My | mine | I belongs to | me. |
You | Your | yours | you. | |
He | His | his | him. | |
She | Her | hers | her. | |
We | Our | ours | us. | |
They | Their | theirs | them. |
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.
