Subjective pronoun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In linguistics, a subjective pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used as the subject of a sentence. Subjective pronouns are usually in the nominative case for languages with a nominative-accusative alignment pattern.

The English language subjective pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, what, who, and they. With the exception of you, it, and what, and in informal speech who, the objective pronouns are different i.e. me, him, her, us, whom and them. (c.f.)
