I need help. I think the book is trying to trick me.
Directions: Select the Subject Pronouns and Object Pronouns in each sentence.
3. They filled the sky.
S-they O-none?
5. Greta saw it first.
S-none? O-it
6. Dad asked us to come inside.
S-none? O-us
7. I wanted to stay outside.
S- I O-none?
8. Dad told me about thunderstorms.
S-none? O-me
9. We watched the lightening.
S-we O-none?
10. It flashed across the sky.
S-It O-none?
Can the Subject Pronoun and the Object Pronoun be the same answer in a sentence?
Thanks for your help.
Congratulations! All of your answers are correct!
I can't think of any sentence that would use the same pronoun as both the subject and object.
Thank you so much :-}
You're very welcome!
To identify the subject pronouns and object pronouns in each sentence, you need to understand the roles of these pronouns in a sentence.
Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence, performing the action. In this case, the subject pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
Object pronouns are used when the pronoun is acting as the object of the sentence, receiving the action. In this case, the object pronouns are: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
Let's go through each sentence:
3. They filled the sky.
Subject Pronoun: They
Object Pronoun: None (there is no object in this sentence)
5. Greta saw it first.
Subject Pronoun: None (the subject is omitted and not mentioned)
Object Pronoun: it
6. Dad asked us to come inside.
Subject Pronoun: None (the subject is omitted and not mentioned)
Object Pronoun: us
7. I wanted to stay outside.
Subject Pronoun: I
Object Pronoun: None (there is no object in this sentence)
8. Dad told me about thunderstorms.
Subject Pronoun: None (the subject is omitted and not mentioned)
Object Pronoun: me
9. We watched the lightning.
Subject Pronoun: We
Object Pronoun: None (there is no object in this sentence)
10. It flashed across the sky.
Subject Pronoun: It
Object Pronoun: None (there is no object in this sentence)
To answer your question, subject pronouns and object pronouns can be the same in a sentence, but it depends on the sentence structure and the specific pronoun used. In the sentences above, there are instances where the subject pronoun and the object pronoun are the same, such as "They filled the sky" and "It flashed across the sky." However, it is not mandatory for them to be the same. It varies depending on the sentence.
