About Subject and Object Pronouns
What this skill is
Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) perform the action in a sentence, while object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) receive the action from a verb or follow a preposition.
When children learn it
Basic subject pronouns are introduced in 1st and 2nd grade. Distinguishing subject pronouns from object pronouns, especially in compound subjects and predicates, is explicitly taught and refined in 3rd and 4th grade.
Teaching Tips
- Teach the "Cover-Up Trick": when faced with a compound phrase like "Marcus and (I / me) went to the park", cover up "Marcus and" with your thumb. The child immediately hears that "Me went to the park" sounds wrong and picks "I". Use this trick whenever reviewing their practice sheets.
Common Mistakes
- Using object pronouns in compound subjects, such as saying "Me and Liam played soccer" instead of "Liam and I played soccer".
- Overcorrecting by using subject pronouns after prepositions, such as writing "between you and I" instead of "between you and me".
- Struggling to identify whether a pronoun receives an action when it sits after an action verb.
