SUBJECT AND OBJECT PRONOUN

 WHAT IS PRONOUN?
Pronoun adalah kata ganti yang digunakan untuk menggantikan subjek maupun
objek yang sedang dibahas. Di dalam bahasa Indonesia, kata “dia, kamu, kita,
mereka” merupakan bentuk daripada Pronoun (kata ganti).
Dalam bahasa Inggris, dikenal istilah Subject Pronoun dan Object Pronoun.

KENAPA KITA PERLU BELAJAR PRONOUN?

Agar kita bisa berkomunikasi dengan cara yang lebih sederhana dan ucapan yang
kita lontarkan menjadi lebih mudah dipahami, tanpa harus terus terusan menyebut
nama daripada subjek ataupun objek yang sedang dibicarakan.
Contoh:
Novi is a girl. Novi has big eyes and pointed nose. Novi is beautiful. (KALAU
TANPA PRONOUN, KITA HARUS TERUS-TERUSAN SEBUT NAMANYA,
DAN ITU TIDAK TERLALU BAGUS).

Tapi, dengan pronoun maka kata-kata atau kalimat yang kita buat menjadi
lebih sederhana dan lebih tertata:
Novi is a girl. She has big eyes and pointed nose. She is beautiful.

 Subject Pronoun : yang menjadi pokok pembicaraan. Biasanya terletak di awal

kalimat.
Contoh: I eat chicken. (Kata I merupakan subjek dari kalimat tersebut).
 Object Pronoun: yang menjadi target, biasanya sering ada di belakang kalimat
atau kadang ada di tengah.
Contoh: Ando threws ball to me. (Kata me merupakan objek atau target dalam
kalimat tersebut).

 I ME Aku / saya
YOU YOU Kamu
THEY THEM Mereka
WE US Kita
HE HIM Dia (COWOK)

IT IT Suatu benda,

Notes:
Jika bendanya cuman satu, subject dan object pronounnya pakai “it”.
Example:

Tapi, kalau bendanya lebih dari satu, bisa pakai they (subject pronoun) dan
them (object pronoun).
