Pronouns: subject and object pronouns.

possessive adjectives and pronouns

Subject pronouns- are the subject of the verb.

For example:
John and Alice live in New York. They have a house in Brooklyn.
Alice is a lawyer. She loves her job.

Object pronouns- are the object of a verb. They come after the verb, and after prepositions.

I love David, and he loves me.


You and I are neighbours. I know you.
I like reading. I like it.
He helps Sarah and me. He helps us.

Possessive adjectives

Possessive adjectives say who owns something. Because they are adjectives, they don’t have a plural (or
feminine / masculine) form. They link to the person who owns / has something: not the object.
I have a car. My car is red.
You have a house. Your house is beautiful.

Possessive pronouns
Possessive pronouns show who is the owner of an object, and replace the object.
For example: I have a red car. It is mine.
