Introduction
Zaimki [pronouns] so besede, ki jih uporabljamo v izogib ponovitvam samostalnikov.
Predmetni zaimki [object pronouns] so zaimki, ki jih uporabljamo kot predmet glagola ali predloga, ali kot nadomestilo za predmete, v izogib ponavljanju.
Form
Zaimki in predmetni zaimki imajo število (ednina, množina) in spol (moški, ženski, srednji).
Če so v povedi predlogi, postavimo predmetne zaimke za njimi.
Predmetni zaimki so:
| Subject Pronouns | Object Pronouns |
|---|---|
| I | Me |
| You | You |
| He | Him |
| She | Her |
| It | It |
| We | Us |
| You | You |
| They | Them |
V neformalnih pogovorih jih lahko uporabljamo kot kratke odgovore.
Example
- V izogib ponavljanju
- I’m a very calm person but my brother always drives me mad.
- My daughter is 7 years old. I take her to school every day.
- They have 3 children. They take them to the park every weekend.
- Po predlogih
- Don’t look at me!
- This is for you.
- I talk to them every day.
Use
Predmetne zaimke uporabljamo:
- Da bi se izognili ponavljanju istega predmetnega zaimka ali samostalnika;
- V povedih po predlogih.
Summary
Predmetne zaimke [object pronouns] uporabljamo za izražanje tistega, na kar vpliva osebek, lahko pa tudi v izogib ponavljanju. Razlikujejo se po spolu in številu ter stojijo za glagoli.
Predmetni zaimki so: me, you, him, her, it, us, you in them.
Na primer:
— “My dogs get very happy when I take them to the park.” = Them se nanaša na my dogs.
— “I gave him a kiss for you.” = Him uporabljamo po predlogu namesto imena osebe.
