SUBJECT/OBJECT

1. SUBJECT/OBJECT

2. Certain pronouns need to be used as subjects in a sentence, while others may only be used as objects. SUBJECT: The thing DOING SOMETHING in the sentence (if it begins the sentence, it is probably a subject). OBJECT: The inactive thing (if it follows a preposition or appears near the end, it is probably an object). PRONOUN: is a noun that represents another noun(He, she, me, what) ANTECEDENT: The thing a pronoun refers to (He is flying—the antecedent of HE could be Superman)

3. Noun Complements • Nouns that rename the pronoun (it is I, vs. It is me). While both are common, “It is I” is somewhat more accepted and formal. • The girl with a tattoo was she. • The voices in the dark were we. • Noticethat SUBCONS act like noun complements - I know whatshe said.

4. Than • When people compare using the word “Than” they are creating a second clause that might have an invisible verb. Thus the subject form in these clauses is necessary. • Do you have more rocks than I (do)? Avoid saying “Do you have more rocks than me?”
