1. A noun or pronoun
follow a preposition.
Noun - is a person, place or thing.
Pronoun - takes the place of a noun.
2. A preposition links a noun or a pronoun with some other word in
the sentence.
3. The noun or pronoun that the preposition link to some other work
in the sentence is called the preposition's "object" (or the
object of the preposition).
4. The preposition shows the relationship between the object (noun
or pronoun) and the other word.
The pronouns that are used in prepositional
phrases are ALWAYS from the OBJECTIVE CASE.
Memorize the objective case pronouns below:
OBJECTIVE CASE PRONOUNS
Singular
Plural
(more than one)
1st Person
me
us
2nd Person
you
you
3rd Person
him, her, it
them
You can help yourself remember the objective case by putting any
preposition in front of the pronoun. Make up a sentence that answers
WHERE. ("Where is the hat?")
The hat is on me.
The hat is on us.
The hat is on you
The hat is on you. (plural)
The hat is on him, her, it.
The hat is on them.
In a prepositional phrase, the pronoun takes
the place of the noun. Look at the difference between the following
two sentences:
She gave the car (to her
brother).
|
|
preposition |
|
noun
Replace the noun in the prepositional phrase
with a pronoun:
She gave the car (to her
him).
|
|

|
pronoun from the objective case
NOTE: Just as you ONLY use the objective case
inside of prepositional phrases, you NEVER use the objective case pronouns
to replace nouns in any other part of the sentence.
