In linguistics, an object pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used typically as a grammatical object: the direct or indirect object of a verb, or the object of a preposition. 

Object pronouns contrast with subject pronouns. 

Object pronouns in English take the objective case, sometimes called the oblique case or object case.

For example, the English object pronoun me is found in 

• "They see me" (direct object), 
• "He's giving me my book" (indirect object), and
•  "Sit with me" (object of a preposition); 

this contrasts with the subject pronoun in:

•  "I see them," 
• "I am getting my book," and
•  "I am sitting here."

💫THE ARTICLE THE Y A/AN💫

AND FINALLY IN THIS UNIT WE NEED TO CHECK THE CONTROVERSIAL ARTICLE "THE"

AS IT IS ONE OF THE MOST USUAL SELF QUESTIONINGS STUDENTS MAY HAVE WHEN CREATING HEIR OWN SPEECHES IN ENGLISH. 

LET'S SEE 👀

POR DEFINICIÓN, EL ARTICULO THE TIENE COMO SIGNIFICADO: EL, LA, LOS, LAS.

UN ARTICULO COMO LO ES EL ELEMENTO "THE", GRAMATICALMENTE:   es la parte de la oración que se ocupa de expresar el género (masculino/femenino) y el número (Plural/singular) del nombre u objeto en cuestión, por otra parte el articulo a/an solo se utiliza en numero singular aunque para el género, incluye en cualquiera de sus dos formas tanto femenino como masculino.
