SUBJECT PRONOUNS

Image
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence in place of a person’s or thing’s name or description, particularly after the subject has already been introduced to avoid repetition. Subject pronouns usually come before the main verb.   These are the subject pronouns we use in English: IT (third singular person) is normally used when we refer to an object, thing, animal or idea (not people). When they are plural we use THEY (third plural person). Examples: The puppy is on the couch. It (the puppy) is so cute. / The puppies are on the couch. They (the puppies) are so cute. We use IT also when we talk about the time, weather or temperature. It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock) It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.) It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now

ENGLISH ALPHABET

An alphabet is a set of letters or symbols that we use to represent the basic speech sounds of a language in writing. The English alphabet has 26 letters or "characters" (from A to Z), five of them are vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and twenty one are consonants.   Sometimes Y can be used as a vowel. Big letters are sometimes called upper case or capitals . Examples: A, B, C, D, E… Small letters are sometimes called lower case . Examples: a, b, c, d, e… We always write the alphabet in the same order. This order is called "alphabetical order":     We say all the letters of the alphabet the same in British English and American English except for Z . In British English we say Zed . In American English we say Zee . The letters above are in normal "alphabetical order" but the letters below are grouped by sound . The letters in each column all have the same vowel sound.    The letters of the alphabet do NOT always represent the sa

OBJECT PRONOUNS

While the subject of a sentence performs the action of the verb, objects are those affected by the action of the subject. Object pronouns are used instead of nouns when we already know what the object is.   They make the sentences easier to read, understand and avoid repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb or a preposition. Subject pronouns usually come before the main verb, while object pronouns follow the main verb. Example: I (Subject pronoun) like (verb) cookies (object). Do you like them (object pronoun)? In this case, the object pronoun them substitutes the object noun cookies.     Be careful when you use 'it' as an object pronoun because only has meaning in the correct context. It needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you are referring to. For example, if I say can you give me it please? The listener probably doesn’t know what I want. But if I say there is a pen on the table; can you give me it please? Th
