Grammar Focus
Subject + Verb (SV)
"I cook", "She drinks", and "We play" are examples of a very basic
sentence pattern in English: Subject + Verb (SV). The subjects (I, she,
we) do some action (cook, drink, play).

Subject + Verb + Object (SVO)


Sometimes we want to be more specific and say "I cook  dinner", "She
drinks juice", and "We play tennis". When we add these 'objects' to the
sentences, we get a new sentence pattern: Subject + Verb + Object
(SVO). SVO is the most common sentence pattern in English.

Object Pronouns
We know Subject Pronouns like 'I,' 'he', and 'they'.  Objects also have
pronouns. We use object pronouns to replace objects:

 Sarah hates me.
 Sarah likes you.
 We know Tim. → We know him.
 We know Sarah. → We know her.
 She drinks juice. → She drinks it.
 I cook eggs. → I cook them.

Note
'You' and 'it' are the same as subject and object pronouns.
