An object pronoun shows the object of a sentence. Which term describes such pronouns?

• A. Subject pronoun
• B. Object pronoun
• C. Reflexive pronoun
• D. Demonstrative pronoun

Answer: (B)

Object pronouns are the words that receive the action in a sentence. They replace a noun that is the object of the verb or a preposition. In English, subject pronouns like I, you, he, she do the action, while object pronouns like me, you, him, her, it, us, them receive it. For example, in “She thanked him,” the person receiving the action is the object pronoun “him.” Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves) refer back to the subject, and demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) point to specific things. So the term for pronouns that show the object is object pronoun.
