Me is a noun or pronoun

What is a pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence.

You may already know that a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. A pronoun is a word you can substitute for one of these things. For example, in this sentence, the pronoun she replaces Miranda.

However, you can't just use the pronoun she every time you're talking about Miranda.

Take a look at this example:

That might sound wrong to you—it is.

Personal pronouns examples

In the first sentence, Miranda is the one doing the action (bragging). This means she's the subject of the sentence. And she is a pronoun that can replace subjects.

In the second sentence, though, Sam is doing an action to Miranda (stealing).

This makes her the object of the sentence.

I, you, he, she, it, we, they sentences

The word she can't replace the object of a sentence. That's why it sounds wrong in this example.

Most of the time, you'll know if a pronoun sounds right or wrong. For example, you can probably tell that

myself is pronoun

myself is pronoun or not
