Notes:
You can use a subject pronoun as the subject of a sentence or clause. It tells who is doing something, and it is usually at the beginning of the sentence. The subject pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, and they.
After finishing the experiment, I showed my teacher the results.
The subject pronoun I is the subject of the sentence.
You can use an object pronoun after an action verb. You can also use an object pronoun after a preposition (like at, for, of, on, to, or with). The object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.
After finishing the experiment, my teacher showed me the results.
The object pronoun me is used after an action verb, showed.
My teacher showed the results to me.
The object pronoun me is used after a preposition, to.
When a pronoun is connected to a noun with the word and (like Rick and I or Rick and me), it can be hard to tell which pronoun is correct. To tell which one is correct, look at the sentence without the other noun.
