Overview

Pronouns must agree with their nouns and take the correct case (subject, object, possessive, reflexive).

Key points

  • Subject forms: I, he, she, we, they; object forms: me, him, her, us, them.
  • After prepositions use object forms: "between you and me".
  • "Who" is a subject; "whom" is an object.
  • Reflexive pronouns (myself, themselves) refer back to the subject.
  • Indefinite pronouns (each, everyone, somebody) are singular.

Explanation

  • In comparisons, complete the clause: "He is taller than I (am)."
  • Avoid unclear reference when two nouns could fit.
  • "One" takes "one’s": "One should do one’s duty."
  • Do not use "myself" in place of "I/me".

Step by step

  1. Read the whole sentence.
  2. Apply the rule.
  3. Re-read for meaning.

Examples

  • "Between you and I" → "between you and me".
  • "Whom did you meet?" is correct (object of meet).
  • "Each student must bring his or her book."

Traps and advanced points

  • Trap: Using "I" after prepositions.
  • Trap: Using "who" as an object.
  • Trap: Plural pronoun after "each".

Quick revision

  • Object after prepositions.
  • Who subject, whom object.
  • Each → singular.
