  1. Subject Pronouns Lesson 3.2

  2. Here’s the Idea A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence or as a predicate pronoun after a linking verb.

  3. Pronouns as Subjects • Use the subject case of a pronoun when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence. • Remember, a pronoun can be part of a compound subject.

  4. Friends often play on opposing teams. • They compete hard against each other. • They replaces noun subject Friends. • Charlene and I play on different teams. • We stay friends no matter what.

  5. Predicate Pronouns • A predicate pronoun follows a linking verb and renames, or refers to, the subject. • Use the subject case for predicate pronoun.

  6. Examples: • Mrs. Sands is the coach. • The coach is she. • The best players are Aaron and I. • The toughest opponents are Teresa and he. subject predicate pronoun renames renames renames

  7. Remember • The most common linking verbs are forms of the verb be; they include is, are, was, were, been, has been, have been, can be, will be, and should be.

  8. Practice Time! • I read about Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. (Them, They) were the two top women tennis players in the early 1980s. • Martina and (her, she) played each other eighty times. • Rulers of the tennis courts were (they, them)! • My friend Elana and (me, I) are tennis rivals, too.

  9. 5. (We, Us) like to win but stay friends, just like Martina and Chris. 6. If Martina won, (she, her) would go over and comfort Chris. 7. Sometimes (they, them) would leave each other notes. 8. My brother is different because (he, him) hates his rivals. 9. He’s not like me and my friends because (us, we) are best friends and tennis players!
