Question

how can we identify the object of a sentences​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subjects and objects have opposite jobs in a sentence. Briefly, the subject is the doer of the action or whatever is in the state of being talked about in the sentence. When you say, “He and I are going to the mall,” you use the subject pronouns he and I. Objects receive; instead of acting, they are acted upon. If you scold him and me, those two pronouns resentfully receive the scolding and thus act as objects. Verbs have objects, and so do some other grammatical elements, such as prepositions.

One more complication: If a pronoun follows a linking verb — a verb expressing state of being — and completes the meaning of the subject-linking verb pair, you need a subject pronoun when you’re writing in formal English. The logic is that a linking verb acts as a sort of giant equal sign, and the subject and its complement must match. Here are the contents of the subject- and object-pronoun baskets:

Subject pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who, and whoever.

Object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom, and whomever.

Some pronouns, such as you and it, appear on both lists. They do double duty as both subject and object pronouns. Don’t worry about them; they’re right for all occasions. Other one-case-fits-almost-all pronouns are either, most, other, which, and that. Another type of pronoun is a reflexive, or -self pronoun (myself, himself, ourselves, and so forth). Use these pronouns only when the action in the sentence doubles back on the subject. (“They washed themselves 50 times during the deodorant shortage.”) You may also insert the -self pronouns for emphasis. (“She herself baked the cake.”) You can’t use the -self pronouns for any other reason. A sentence such as “The cake she gave myself was good” is wrong. Opt for “The cake she gave me.”
