College Composition / Unit 5 CMP 0109 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pronoun Case
Captions available
The idea
Pronouns have three cases that change with their job: subjective, objective and possessive.
In practice
Subjective pronouns such as I, we, he and they act as subjects; objective pronouns such as me, us, him and them act as objects; possessives such as my, our and their show ownership.
Where people slip
Case errors hide in compounds and comparisons, covered next.
