What Are Subject and Object Pronouns?
Subject pronouns do the action in a sentence. Object pronouns receive the action.
Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
| Subject | Object | Example Sentence |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | I am Robert. She knows me. |
| You | you | You are a student. I see you. |
| He | him | He is my friend. I talk to him. |
| She | her | She is happy. We help her. |
| We | us | We are classmates. They teach us. |
| They | them | They are from China. I like them. |
| It | it | It is sunny. I love it. |

How Do You Introduce Yourself in English?
Start with your name using a subject pronoun: “I’m Sam.” When introducing friends, use object pronouns: “This is Sarah. Have you met her?” Switching between subject and object forms helps your introductions sound natural.
Basic introduction patterns:
- “I am [Name].”
- “I am from [Country].”
- “This is [Friend].”
Practice swapping pronouns:
- “He is my teacher.”
- “We are students.”
- “She helps me.”

How Can Dictation Improve Your English?
Dictation, listening and writing what you hear, also reinforces pronoun use. Try writing short dialogs to introduce imaginary friends and get even more practice. Reading aloud can also help lock in pronoun use.
Dictation connects listening with writing. Listen carefully, write what you hear, then check for accuracy.
Example sentences:
- I am a student.
- She likes him.
- They are from Peru.
- The teacher helps us.

How Can Songs Help You Learn Pronouns?
Songs with lyrics that repeat “he,” “she,” or “they” make pronoun patterns stick in your memory.
Music is a powerful way to remember English. Listen to “I’d Like To Get To Know You” and fill in the missing pronouns.

Why Is Practicing Introductions Important?
Making introductions is one of the most useful skills in English. With practice, you’ll feel confident telling people your name, your country, and introducing friends or classmates.
Using pronouns correctly makes your introductions sound smoother and more confident. Practicing often really helps these tiny words feel more natural every time you speak English, and over time, you’ll spot mistakes and fix them easily.

This is such a clear and practical guide—breaking down subject and object pronouns with examples makes it easy for learners to actually use them in real conversations, not just memorize them. I especially liked the tips about using songs and dictation, since those add a fun twist to practice and help the patterns stick.
One question I had: when introducing yourself in more formal situations (like a job interview), are there specific pronoun mistakes that learners should be especially careful to avoid?
Hi Jenny, thanks for your comments. Regarding your question, no, I can’t think of any specific pronoun mistakes, although it’s important to not be too informal, at least in the beginning.
