What are object personal pronouns?
We use personal pronouns (I, you, he, she …) to replace nouns. We use them to refer to people and things that have already been mentioned. They reflect person, number and gender and help us to avoid repetition in our writing. Personal pronouns can be the subject or the object of a sentence, although they have different forms.
The object of the sentence usually comes after the verb and is the recipient of the action in the sentence. We use object pronouns to replace the object of the sentence.
Example:
We will miss Ms Pearson a lot. → We will miss her a lot.
We also use object pronouns after prepositions.
Example:
We all signed a card for Ms Pearson. → We all signed a card for her.
