Replace the plural noun with a personal pronoun

A plural noun names more than one person, animal, or thing.

  • Examples:
    • 🐢 Dogs
    • 🐱 Cats
    • 🍎 Apples
    • πŸ‘¦πŸ‘§ Children

A personal pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repeating it.

  • Plural personal pronouns we use:
    • they β†’ for people, animals, or things
    • them β†’ when used as an object
  • If the plural noun is the subject of the sentence, use they.
    • Example:
    • Dogs are playful. β†’ They are playful. πŸΆπŸ•
      (Image idea: Two playful dogs with a speech bubble: β€œThey are playful!”)
  • If the plural noun is the object of the sentence, use them.
    • Example:
    • I like apples. β†’ I like them. 🍎🍏
      (Image idea: Kid holding apples with a happy face and arrow pointing to β€œthem”)

Cats 🐱🐱The cats are sleeping.They are sleeping.

  • Always check if the noun is subject β†’ use they
  • Always check if the noun is object β†’ use them
  • Look for more than one β†’ it is plural!
