subject pronouns- object pronouns

Nesne zamirleri :
İngilizce bazı fiillere nesne eklenebilir. Mana olarak da, fiil nesneyi hedeflemiş olur. Böyle fiillere geçişli fiiller deriz. Nesnedeki ismin yerine zamir koymak istediğimizde, object pronoun kullanılmalıdır.
Aykut is my friend. I like Aykut.
Aykut is my friend. I like him.

My teacher knows my parents.
My teacher knows them.

I want to go with you.

I want to go with my parents
I want to go with them.

We go swimming everyday. Why don't you come with us?




I Me They want me.
He Him They want him.
She Her He wants her.
It It We want it.
We Us You want us.
You You I want you.
They Them I want them.


Gördüğünüz gibi, object pronoun'ların Türkçede sabit bir karşılığı olmadığı halde, cümle içindeki kullanımına göre karşılığını rahatça çıkarabiliriz.
