📚 Subject Pronouns: The Action Heroes
Subject pronouns are the stars of the show! ✨ They perform the action in a sentence. Think of them as the ones *doing* something. They usually hang out at the beginning of the sentence.

🙋 I am going to the store.
 👩‍🦱 She is reading a book.
 👨 He is playing soccer.
 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 They are watching a movie.
 🐶 It is barking loudly.
 🫂 We are learning grammar.
 👉 You are doing great!

🎯 Object Pronouns: The Action Receivers
Object pronouns are the ones on the receiving end of the action. 🎁 Something is being done *to* them. They usually appear later in the sentence.

✉️ Give the letter to me.
 🦸‍♀️ The superhero saved her.
 👨‍⚕️ The doctor helped him.
 👯 I saw them at the park.
 🦴 The dog chased it.
 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 They invited us to the party.
 🗣️ I'm talking to you.
