Mom and Dad, I love you. (Plural You)

What Do Object Pronouns Do?

Object pronouns replace nouns that act as the object of a sentence. Let us take a look at some examples:

Example

Here, 'you' is the subject pronoun (doer of the action) and 'him' is the object pronoun (the action of the verb is done to it).
