Objective Case Pronouns Writing Lab Objective Case Pronouns

Pronouns Subjective Case Objective Case I Me He Him She Her We Us They Them

Editing Trick To determine whether you need a subjective or objective case pronoun, ignore or mentally delete the conjunction (usually and) and the other object, noun, or pronoun. We fed the neighbors and them. We fed them. They taught Jill and us a lesson. They taught us a lesson. She gave the message to him and Mom. She gave the message to him. They wanted me and Chris to stay. They wanted me to stay.

Common Errors Errors in pronoun case often occur when a pronoun is used in conjunction with another noun. Examples Incorrect: They invited my husband and I for the weekend. Correct: They invited my husband and me for the weekend. Correct: They invited me for the weekend. When the extra words are omitted, the correct choice is easier to select.
