Which term refers to pronouns that replace the subject of a sentence?

• A. Subject Pronoun
• B. Object Pronoun
• C. Reflexive Pronoun
• D. Intensive Pronoun

Answer: (A)

Pronouns that take the place of the subject in a sentence are subject pronouns. They are the doers of the action, coming before the verb and agreeing with it in person and number. Examples include I, you, he, she, it, we, and they, as in “I walk,” “She runs,” or “They arrived.”

Other pronouns serve different roles. Object pronouns replace the object of the verb or a preposition (me, you, him, her, it, us, them). Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves). Intensive pronouns are used for emphasis (e.g., “The mayor herself announced it”).
