SAYING WHO RECEIVES THE ACTION OF THE VERB

(Supplementary Material for Beginner Module)

We say that while Personal Pronouns do things, Object Pronouns receive the action of the verb or are
affected by it. Object Pronouns are easy to recognize because they are placed directly after a verb or
preposition;

for example: She is watching him.

I am talking to you.

EXERCISE 1. Replace the underlined words by Object Pronouns.

Example: Show the book to Mary.

Show the book to her .

1. John wants to buy a book for Rose.

2. Jane is buying some sweets for her brother.

3. Tell the students the results.

4. Alex is giving some chocolates to me and my sister.

5. Now, he is telling John about the test.

6. Give this food to the dog.

EXERCISE 2. Choose the correct Pronoun and rewrite the sentences.

Example: The teacher is looking at I/me

The teacher is looking at me .

1. We/us are going to the concert.

2. They are always talking about we/us.

3. I am looking at him/he and his friends.

4. Them/they are having lunch with me/I.

4. I always speak to (he/ him) in English.

5. He looked at (she/her) during the concert.

6. The teacher always helps (I/me) with my homework.
