Catatan Penting

Possessive Pronoun berbeda dengan Possessive Adjective:

Contoh:

• This is my book. → Ini buku saya.
• This book is mine. → Buku ini milik saya.

Jadi, my harus diikuti noun, sedangkan mine dapat berdiri sendiri.

⭐ Cara Paling Mudah Mengingat

SUBJECT = SIAPA YANG MELAKUKAN?
OBJECT = SIAPA YANG DIKENAI TINDAKAN?

She helps him.

• She → siapa yang membantu? → Subject
• him → siapa yang dibantu? → Object

Jadi:

HE helps HER.

Dia laki-laki membantu dia perempuan.

SHE helps HIM.

Dia perempuan membantu dia laki-laki.

THEY help US.

Mereka membantu kami.

WE help THEM.

Kami membantu mereka.

Ini adalah dasar yang sangat penting sebelum mempelajari possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) dan possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs).
