Subject vs object
Warning: It is important to make a distinction between subject and object pronouns. Even though they are similar they are not interchangeable in speaking nor in writing.
| Subject | Object | Examples of object pronouns |
|---|---|---|
| I | Me | Jessica likes me. |
| You | You | How can I help you? |
| He | Him | It's not like him to do that. |
| She | Her | I can't play like her. |
| It | It | I don't want it. |
| We | Us | He gave it to us yesterday. |
| They | Them | Would you like to go with them? |
Object pronouns list: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them
Direct and indirect object pronouns
1. Direct object pronouns
Direct object pronouns are used to indicate towards whom the action of the verb is directed. Once you locate the verb the direct object can be identified by asking the question "who?" or "what?".
Examples:
- She threw a glass at me because I was late.
- Do you truly feel that way about her?
- They eliminated us again. I hate it!
Attention: When "it" is used as an object pronoun it is important to acknowledge that it is correct only in a context that is known to the listener.
I don't like it. 
They didn't keep their promise. I find it extremely disrespectful.
In the first example we know the one speaking does not like something, however, we do not know what that is. Whereas in the second example the situation they find disrespectful summarized by "it" is explained by the first sentence.
2. Indirect object pronouns
Indirect object pronouns provide us information as to what the direct object of the sentence is doing.
Examples:
- The game was amazing. We loved playing it very much!
- I am always buying them a lot of chocolate.
- She is doing her best to make them proud.
Object pronouns with prepositions
Propositions are very often accompanying object pronouns in order to deliver a better clarity and easier flowing sentence structure. The most commonly used ones are: "at", "to", "for", "with".
Examples:
- I will see you there at midnight.
- They would be very happy to go with you.
- I am sorry but I can't tolerate them for much longer.
- I can't wait to send it to you.

Olesya K.
I am a BA in Education graduate, with vast experience in primary, secondary and higher education levels, as well as in other activities related to education. I believe I have a diverse background which makes me a very adaptable teacher and with a lot to offer.
Most of my experience is in high school ,in adult education and university students. I have been able to develop a good relationship with my students, which has translated to better communication and an altogether more rounded experience for them and myself. My lesson planning has always aimed to reflect my students’ needs and interest applied into useful communicative language structures that they can actually use in their lives.
In my last years as a teacher, I have focused on preparing test-takers for the TOEFL. It has been a completely different experience from what I have had before, but I have helped my students accomplish the desired scores in the proposed time.
I believe in making the learning of a new language something exciting and not frightening at all, but challenging and gratifying instead. My material is dynamic and keeps my students engaged and continuesly developing their communiation skills.
I am flexible with my students' time and shcedule; naturally, it is open for deliberation if needed. I look forward to helping you get to the desired goals you set foryourself!

Daniel is a wonderful teacher. He can deduce what the needs of each student are and make the class in an entertaining and enriching way. I definitely recommend this teacher!

Hi! My name's Renata. Born and bred in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Languages are what I'm best at. I've studied Russian at college but as luck would have it I got a job as an English teacher after graduation and that's what I've been doing for the past ten years. I worked in a private school where I taught English for 6 years. After that, I started my own small business offering translation, teaching and guiding services. I'm also a licensed tour guide for the City of Zagreb. For the past year, I've been doing online lessons with both children and adults. I currently have 10 students, some of them learn English and some Croatian.
M. M.
Renata has over 6 years of teaching experience. She is very kind and patient. Furthermore, she is specialized in teaching Croatian to beginners. She has a wide variety of interactive learning materials.

Renata H.
I am an English teacher from Liverpool in England. I have been teaching around the world in countries that include Indonesia, Malaysia, Belgium, Taiwan and Spain.
I now teach English and Geography in a secondary school in Liverpool but retain my passion for teaching EFL by doing online lessons. I am a lively, dynamic and well organised teacher, and I like to provide stimulating lessons where communication is the main goal.
I want to target my lessons so they give you, the student, exactly what you are looking for. My experience means I can give classes in conversation, all levels of English, academic or exam classes or Business English. I have learnt several languages myself and I have found that speaking is the best way to learn, so I employ the communicative method in teaching, but set homework assignments and give written feedback outside the lessons.
Book a free trial lesson and we can have a chat, find out about you and what your goals are in learning English. Hope to see you soon!

I am fluent in English and Sesotho, and I am currently learning TshiVenda which is one of the 11 (eleven) Official languages that we have in South Africa.

My goal as a teacher is to make sure that you reach you goal of improving your English language and to converse with people all over the world with no difficulty.
