Lesson Three

I

These pronouns are used for oneself.

singular

subject = I I am a teacher. I teach English. Note that “I” is always capitallized.
object = me My mom is standing next to me.
possessive adjective = my I work on my website every day. In this picture, you can see my laptop.	my website
possessive pronoun = mine Your feet are cold. Mine are too. (mine = my feet) Your nose is cold. Mine is too. (mine = my nose)  A possessive pronoun is singular or plural depending on the thing or person to which it refers.	This thermometer shows the temperature.
reflexive pronoun = myself I took a picture of myself.

When a preposition comes before a pronoun, use the objective form of the word: me.

• This is between you and me. (not “you and I”)
• A bird landed on me.
• Do you want to go with me?
• He threw the ball at me.

It’s also okay to use “me” when “I” is the grammatically correct choice:

• A: Who is it?
• B: It’s me.

The grammatically correct thing to say in the example above is “It’s I,” but no one says that.
