Step-by-step solution for: Pronouns Worksheets | Subject and Object Pronouns Worksheets
Let's solve this grammar worksheet step by step. The task is to circle the subject pronouns in the first set of sentences and circle the object pronouns in the second set.
---
> Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence — they perform the action. Common subject pronouns: *I, you, he, she, it, we, they*.
#### Example A:
We are going to the store today.
✔ We → Subject pronoun (performing the action "are going").
---
Now let’s go through the sentences:
1. I am excited about the test.
✔ I → Subject pronoun (the one who is excited).
✔️ Circle: I
2. We are going on vacation this summer.
✔ We → Subject pronoun (doing the action "are going").
✔️ Circle: We
3. He is a trustworthy friend.
✔ He → Subject pronoun (is the one being described).
✔️ Circle: He
4. It is very exciting to see you!
✔ It → Subject pronoun (the thing that is exciting).
✔️ Circle: It
5. Tell her that her parents will pick her up.
⚠️ This sentence has two clauses. We need the subject pronoun in the main clause or dependent clause.
- “Tell her…” → "her" is an object pronoun (recipient of the action).
- “her parents will pick her up” → “her parents” is the subject (but not a pronoun), and “her” is again object.
✘ There is no subject pronoun in this sentence.
→ But wait — actually, “her” appears twice, but both times it's object form. The subject is “her parents,” which is a noun phrase.
→ So, there is no subject pronoun in this sentence.
✔ However, if we look closely, “her” is not a subject pronoun — it's an object pronoun (used after verbs like "tell" or "pick").
→ Therefore, this sentence does NOT contain a subject pronoun.
✘ So, none of the words here are subject pronouns.
But wait — re-check: Is there any pronoun acting as subject?
- “her” → object
- “her” → object
- “parents” → noun
✔ No subject pronoun exists in this sentence.
→ Answer: None (but since the instruction says "circle the subject pronoun", and there isn't one, maybe it's a trick question?)
However, perhaps the intended answer is “her”? No — that would be incorrect.
Let’s double-check:
- “Tell her…” → “her” is the direct object of “tell” → object pronoun.
- “her parents will pick her up” → “her parents” = subject (noun phrase), “her” = direct object.
✔ So, no subject pronoun in this sentence.
→ But if the worksheet expects an answer, perhaps it's a mistake?
Alternatively, could “her” be interpreted as a subject? No — it's not.
→ Final decision: This sentence has no subject pronoun.
➤ But let's assume the goal is to identify only the pronouns that are subjects.
So for sentence 5: No subject pronoun.
However, some might argue that “she” is implied, but it's not stated.
✔ Conclusion: No subject pronoun in sentence 5.
---
But wait — perhaps the worksheet intends for us to find any pronoun that acts as subject, even if it's implied? No — we must circle only what's written.
So, sentence 5 has no subject pronoun.
But let's move on.
---
> Object pronouns receive the action of the verb. They are often the direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition.
Common object pronouns: *me, you, him, her, it, us, them*
#### Example A:
Can you tell him the good news?
✔ him → object of the verb "tell" → object pronoun.
---
Now let’s do the rest:
6. Are you sure they are ready for it?
- “you” → subject pronoun (in “Are you...”)
- “they” → subject pronoun (in “they are ready”)
- “it” → object of the preposition “for” → object pronoun
✔ it → object pronoun
✔️ Circle: it
7. I am going to the mall, so I will take her with me.
- “I” → subject pronoun (twice)
- “her” → object of “take” → object pronoun
- “me” → object of preposition “with” → object pronoun
✔ Both her and me are object pronouns.
But the instruction says “circle the object pronoun” — singular — so likely one is expected.
But there are two:
- “take her” → “her” is direct object
- “with me” → “me” is object of preposition
So both are correct. But if only one is to be circled, perhaps her is the main one.
However, the instruction doesn’t say “only one” — so both are object pronouns.
But since it says “the object pronoun”, maybe it wants one.
Let’s check:
- “her” → object of “take”
- “me” → object of “with”
✔ Both are valid object pronouns.
→ But since the example only had one, maybe just circle her?
Actually, the instruction says: “Circle the object pronoun” — implying each sentence has one.
But this sentence has two.
So perhaps both should be circled?
Let’s proceed carefully.
✔ her and me → both object pronouns.
But to follow the pattern, maybe the primary one is her?
However, logically, both are correct.
But since the task says “circle the object pronoun” (singular), perhaps the intended answer is her.
Or maybe it’s a mistake.
But let’s see the next ones.
8. I cannot wait to experience all of them.
- “them” → object of the preposition “of” → object pronoun
✔ them → object pronoun
✔️ Circle: them
9. The man brought the equipment to the party and set it up.
- “it” → object of “set” → object pronoun
✔ it → object pronoun
✔️ Circle: it
10. Make sure that they receive all of them.
- “they” → subject pronoun (subject of “receive”)
- “them” → object of “receive” → object pronoun
✔ them → object pronoun
✔️ Circle: them

1. I am excited about the test. → ✔ I
2. We are going on vacation this summer. → ✔ We
3. He is a trustworthy friend. → ✔ He
4. It is very exciting to see you! → ✔ It
5. Tell her that her parents will pick her up. → ✘ No subject pronoun
→ But note: “her” appears twice, but both times it's object pronoun.
So no subject pronoun in sentence 5.
→ Answer: None
---
6. Are you sure they are ready for it? → ✔ it
7. I am going to the mall, so I will take her with me.
→ Two object pronouns: her and me
But if only one is expected, likely her (direct object of “take”)
→ ✔ her or me — both correct, but probably her is the main one.
However, both are object pronouns.
Since the instruction says “the object pronoun”, and there are two, it may be ambiguous.
But let’s assume the intended answer is her.
→ ✔ her (or me) — best to circle her as the direct object.
8. I cannot wait to experience all of them. → ✔ them
9. The man brought the equipment to the party and set it up. → ✔ it
10. Make sure that they receive all of them. → ✔ them

💡 Explanation Summary:
- Subject pronouns do the action: *I, we, he, she, it, they*
- Object pronouns receive the action: *me, you, him, her, it, us, them*
In sentence 5: “Tell her…” — “her” is the object of “tell”, so it's not a subject pronoun. The subject is “her parents” (noun phrase), not a pronoun.
So, no subject pronoun in sentence 5.
In sentence 7: Both “her” and “me” are object pronouns, but “her” is the direct object of “take”, and “me” is the object of the preposition “with”. Both are valid.
