Pronoun Case

by saorabh Thu Jun 10, 2010 10:53 am

Hi,

Can anyone tell me about pronoun case by giving examples i.e. When a pronoun acts as subject or when it acts as object of verb.

I am very confused and even manhattan SC's take on this not clearing my confusion.

Thanks

The structural clues are just the same as they would be for nouns: subjects take action or attributes; objects are part of the predicate; possessives are effectively adjectives.

Pronoun case is a bit easier to determine, though, because it's more often signaled by the way the word is spelled and pronounced. Consider

SUBJECT OBJECT POSSESSIVE
it it it
they them their
he him his
she her her/hers

Case doesn't actually account for much on the GMAT.
