By now you should be aware that a pronoun is a word that replaces one or more nouns in a sentence. For example: “Martha’s family is coming soon.” can be reworded using a pronoun so that it will then read, “Her family is coming soon.” In this case “her” is a personal pronoun.
For each sentence below, determine whether the pronoun is a nominative case pronoun, objective case pronoun - direct object, an objective case pronoun - indirect object or an objective case pronoun - object of a preposition.
1.
The new boy smiled at HER.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
As "her" comes after "at" (a preposition), "her" is the direct object (object pronoun) of a preposition. Therefore, Answer (d) objective case pronoun - object of a preposition is the correct pronoun case
2.
Mr. Stanton drove to Washington, D.C. with THEM.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
When a pronoun, such as me, you, him, us, it, her and them, is used as an object of a preposition, it is an objective case pronoun. In this sentence, “them” comes after the preposition “with” so it is an object of “with”. As such, Answer (d) objective case pronoun - object of a preposition is the correct pronoun case
3.
The babysitter watched ME.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
In this sentence, the “babysitter” is the subject, “watched” is the verb and “me” is the direct object. The Answer (b) objective case pronoun - direct object is the correct pronoun case
4.
HE will raise the flag during the ceremony.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
When a pronoun is used as a subject of a sentence it is referred to as a nominative case pronoun. In this sentence “He” is the subject, “will raise” is the verb and “flag” is the direct object with ceremony also being an object but cannot stand on its own, i.e., it would not be a complete sentence if written, “He will raise during the ceremony.” Therefore, Answer (a) nominative case pronoun is the correct pronoun case
5.
Grandpa took THEM to the circus.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
In this sentence, the “Grandpa” is the subject, “took” is the verb and “them” is the direct object. The word “circus” is also an object but the sentence could not be a complete sentence if it was written “Grandpa took to the circus.” As such, “them” is a necessary object needed for this sentence and shows that Answer (b) objective case pronoun - direct object is the correct pronoun case
6.
The Principal gave HIM an award.
nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
In this sentence, “Principal” is the subject, “gave” is the verb and “award” is the object. The sentence would be a complete sentence on its own if it were written, “The Principal gave an award.” The pronoun “him” is an indirect object. This tells us that the correct answer is Answer (c) - objective case pronoun - indirect object
7.

nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
When a pronoun is used as a subject of a sentence it is referred to as a nominative case pronoun. In this sentence “They” is the subject, “have” is the verb and “sled” is the object. Therefore, Answer (a) nominative case pronoun is the correct pronoun case
8.

nominative case pronoun
objective case pronoun - direct object
objective case pronoun - indirect object
objective case pronoun - object of a preposition
When a pronoun is used as a subject of a sentence it is referred to as a nominative case pronoun. In this sentence “I” is one of the subjects as “went” is the verb and “movies” is the object. Therefore, Answer (a) nominative case pronoun is the correct pronoun case
9.

When a pronoun, such as me, you, him, us, it, her and them, is used as an object of a preposition, it is an objective case pronoun. In this sentence, “you” comes after the preposition “and” so it is an object of “and”. As such, Answer (d) objective case pronoun - object of a preposition is the correct pronoun case
10.
