English language learners often make the same errors when using pronouns. The following examples illustrate common errors.
Incorrect: Me and Daniela went to the restaurant for lunch. This sentence is incorrect because an object pronoun (me) is used instead of a subject pronoun.
Correct: Daniela and I went to the restaurant for lunch. This sentence is now correct because a subject pronoun (I) is used. Incorrect: Mark put her grocery bag on the counter. This sentence is incorrect because the pronoun her refers to a female, and Mark is a male.
Correct: Mark put his grocery bag on the counter.
This sentence is now correct because the male pronoun his refers to the male person, Mark. Incorrect: The woman she went to work earlier than usual. This sentence is incorrect because the subject the woman is repeated by the pronoun she.
Correct: The woman went to work earlier than usual.
Correct: She went to work earlier than usual.
These sentences are now correct because the unnecessary repeated subject has been removed.
