Objective and Subjective Case for Pronouns Pronoun Case is really a very simple matter. There are three cases. –Subjective case: pronouns used as subject. –Objective case: pronouns used as objects of verbs or prepositions. –Possessive case: pronouns which express ownership.

Types SubjectsObjectsPossessive Imemy Youyouyour He, she, itHim, her, itHer, his, its weusour theythemtheir whowhomwhose

Subject or Object 1. If the pronoun is acting as a subject, use the subjective case. If it is acting as an object, use the objective case. The girl met him at the game. –Him - Object She was late. –She – Subject She made him angry. –She – Subject –Him - Object

Compound Structures 2. In compound structures, where there are two pronouns or a noun and a pronoun, drop the other noun for a moment. Then you can see which case you want. Not: Bob and me travel a good deal. (Would you say, "me travel"?) Not: He gave the flowers to Jane and I. (Would you say, "he gave the flowers to I"?) Not: Us men like the coach. (Would you say, "us like the coach"?)

Comparisons 3. In comparisons add what should be the rest of the sentence. Comparisons usually follow than or as: He is taller than I (am tall). This helps you as much as (it helps) me. She is as noisy as I (am). Comparisons are really shorthand sentences which usually omit words, such as those in the parentheses in the sentences above. If you complete the comparison in your head, you can choose the correct case for the pronoun. Not: He is taller than me. (Would you say, "than me am tall"?) This resource was written by Purdue OWL.

Formal Writing 4. In formal and semiformal writing: Use the subjective form after a form of the verb to be. Formal: It is I. Informal: It is me.
