Cheat Sheet

  1. Subject vs. Object Pronouns -

    Subject pronouns (I, we, you, he, she, they) perform the action, while object pronouns (me, us, you, him, her, them) receive it. For instance, "She wrote the poem to them" uses "she" as the subject and "them" as the object (Purdue OWL). A handy trick is to drop the extra noun - "Alice and I went" becomes "I went," confirming the subject form.

  2. Possessive Adjectives vs. Possessive Pronouns -

    Possessive adjectives (my, your, our, his, her, their) modify nouns, whereas possessive pronouns (mine, yours, ours, his, hers, theirs) stand alone (Cambridge Dictionary). In "This book is mine," "mine" replaces "my book," and no noun follows. Remember the rule: if you can't follow it with a noun, it's a possessive pronoun.

  3. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement -

    Your pronoun must match its antecedent in number and gender to avoid confusion (UNC Writing Center). For example, "Each student must bring his or her pencil" ensures singular agreement, though modern usage often accepts singular "they." A simple mnemonic is "NST" (Number, Sex, Type) to check your match before you finalize a sentence.

  4. Compound Constructions: I vs. Me -

    When pairing pronouns, always test by dropping the other subjects or objects - "Between you and me" becomes "me," so "me" is correct. School of Writing at Harvard advises practicing with "he and I" vs. "him and me" in simple sentences. This removal method clarifies whether the pronoun should be subject or object.

  5. Embracing Singular "They" -

    Singular "they" is endorsed by the APA and Merriam-Webster for gender-neutral references when antecedents are unknown or nonbinary. For example, "Someone left their umbrella" uses "their" correctly without assuming gender. Embracing this modern usage boosts inclusivity and aligns with current style guides.
