USING PRONOUNS

I, you, he, she, it, we , you, they - subject pronouns.
We know them now, but they are tricky to use.

Me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them - object pronouns.


They are even trickier to use.

My, your, his, hers, its, ours, your, their -possessive pronouns.

They are even trickier !

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION GUYS?
HOW CAN WE USE THESE WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME, IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND NOT HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE?

We use subject pronouns at the beginning of the sentence.We use the object pronouns at the end of a sentence.We use the possesive pronouns to indicate someone's belonging(s)

That's basically the idea Nathan, but how are we going to get used to using these words?

Hello Mr. Phil,

Yes, it is tricky so maybe we need some rules. For example, subject pronouns are used to replace a person or a thing when it is the subject of the sentence. Therefore, a subject pronoun indicates that the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. To easily remember, we can try to fill in the blank as below:

______ go to the mall
I, you, he, she, it, we, you (plural), they all fit into the blank and therefore they are subject pronouns.

Object pronouns are use everywhere else or are used when the person or thing is the object of the sentence.
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership, and never need apostrophes.

Patric, this is a good explanation. Did you get this info by yourself?
I still think Patric that the answer is a little more simple.
To give you a clue - when I was little kid, I learned it in a simple way. What do you think happened?
