| Subject pronouns | I | you | she | we | |||
| Object pronouns | me | him | it | them |
| Subject pronouns | I | you | he | she | it | we | they |
| Object pronouns | me | you | him | her | it | us | them |
Additional information:
- we use object pronoun forms in short responses:
- I like animals. - Me too.
- Who gave you that book? - Him, not them.
- we also use object pronoun forms in comparisons after as and than:
He doesn’t want as much as us.
Mary’s brother is older than her.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Look at these sentences containing possessive pronouns (in bold):
Janet’s room is big but my room is even bigger. = Hers is big but mine is even bigger. Is this your book or Henry’s book? = Is this yours or his? Whose car is this? > It’s not our car, it’s probably their car. = It’s not ours, it’s probably theirs.

Warning!
Do not mix them up with possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, our, their). Possessive pronouns are used alone, possessive adjectives are followed by a noun (see the examples above).
REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
The forms of reflexive pronouns are below on the right:
I - myself
You (singular) - yourself
You (plural) - yourselves
He - himself
She - herself
It - itself
We - ourselves
They - themselves
We use reflexive pronouns:
A- when the subject and the object are the same thing or person
B - as the object after most prepositions, referring to the subject
C - when we want to emphasize some person or thing ( “in person”, “with no help”)
D - after by to emphasize “alone”

In English, we do not normally use reflexive pronouns after these verbs, although in some cases we may in Polish:
approach, complain, concentrate, decide, feel + adjective, hurry (up), lie down, meet, relax, sit down, wake up, wonder, worry
With change (clothes), dress and wash, we can use a reflexive pronoun to stress that the action requires effort:
Tony is only four but he can already dress himself.
