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

• A. Object Pronoun
• B. Subject Pronoun
• C. Reflexive Pronoun
• D. Correct Usage

Answer: (A)

Object pronouns are the terms used for pronouns that take the place of the noun acting as the receiver of the action or the object of a preposition in a sentence. They include me, you, him, her, it, us, them. They fit as the object of a verb or a preposition, as in She saw him (him replaces the noun that would be the object of see) or The gift was for us (us is the object of the preposition for). They differ from subject pronouns, which stand in for the doer of the action, and from reflexive pronouns, which refer back to the subject itself.
