Choosing between a subject pronoun and an object pronoun can be tricky in a number of
situations. First, let's look at a list of pronouns.
Subject Pronouns Singular Plural I we you you he/she/it they Object Pronouns Singular Plural me us you you him/her/it them Tips 1 - When there are multiple subjects or objects, reduce the sentence to only the pronoun. Example:" Steve, Bill, and (I, me) went to the park." If we remove Steve and Bill, the sentence would be: (I, me) went to the park. "I went to the park" sounds a lot better than "Me went to the park." Answer: "Steve, Bill, and I went to the park." 2 - If you are not sure, turn the sentence around. Example: "The best player on the team is (he, him)." Try this: (He, Him) is the best player on the team. Answer: "He is the best player on the team." 3 - Use an object pronoun after a preposition. Example: "The money will be divided between you and (I, me)." After the preposition "between" we need an object pronoun. Answer: "The money will be divided between you and me."
