Pronouns can do many things in a sentence, and the way they are diagrammed depends on the way that they are acting in each sentence.
Here are four of the jobs that pronouns can do: subject, direct object, indirect object, and object of the preposition.



Pronouns can also act as a predicate noun. This kind of noun only comes after a linking verb.
