  1. Grammar and Usage Lesson #5 CCSS.ELA–LITERACY.L. 1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. How to Teach Subject Cast Pronouns

  2. Writers use pronouns to take the place of nouns. One type of pronoun is called a subject case pronoun because it acts as the subject of a sentence. The subject is the “do-er” of the sentence. These are the subject case pronouns: Singular—I, you, he, she, it, who         Plural—we, you, they, who Example: They brought a basket of flowers. Also use subject case pronouns following “to be” verbs (is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been) to identify or refer to the subject as predicate nominatives. Example: It is I.

  3. Place the first person singular pronoun (I) last in compound subjects. Example: Paul and I left. If unsure whether a pronoun should be in the subject case, rephrase the sentence with the pronoun at the start of the sentence. Example: The winner was me. Rephrase: I was the winner.
