Pronouns: Subjective Case
Standard
ELACC6L1a: Ensure that pronouns are in
the proper case (subjective, objective,
possessive)
This relates to writing because you MUST
make sure that you are using pronouns in
the correct places in your writing.
Subjective Case
Subject Pronouns are used as the SUBJECT of a
sentence. (We consider them to be in the
subjective case)
Ex. She went to the museum.
Ex. We won the baseball tournament!
Subjective Case
The subject pronouns are:
• I, You, He, She, It, We, They
THESE ARE THE ONLY PERSONAL PRONOUNS
THAT CAN BE SUBJECTS!
Subject Pronouns
Subject Pronouns can be simple subjects:
Ex. He bought ice cream for his sister.
Ex. She likes strawberry ice cream the best!
Subject Pronouns In Compound
Subjects
Subject Pronouns can be part of compound
subjects. (Get them right!)
Ex. Lucy and I went to a movie.
Ex. You and I seem to agree with each other.
Ex. He and Jasper are going hunting.
Nominative Case
When a subject pronoun comes after a linking
verb, we call it the nominative case.
Ex. The greatest singer is she!
Ex. The best swimmers in history are they.
This rule is very unusual to see!
