📝 Explanation Summary:
- Use
subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) when the noun is the subject of the sentence.
- Use
object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) when the noun is the object of a verb or preposition.
- Keep agreement in number (singular/plural) and person.
For example:
- “The teacher gave
Phillip…” →
him (object of "gave")
- “
You and me…” →
us (object of "taking")
