Basic VERB
Subject Doer (Who perform Action)

Object Action Receiver

(One who Receive Action)
Eg. Manu ignored Tanu.
Manu ignored her
He ignored Tanu
He ignored her.
For example –
Manu Ignored Tanu.
So in the above sentence Manu is doer that’s why
Manu is Subject and Tanu is Receiver of the
Action. That’s why Tanu is object here.
Now if we remove Action (verb) from the above given
Sentences what we see –
Manu Tanu
Manu Her
I Mohan
I Him
So we can see clearly that Subject and Object is
nothing but they are Noun and Pronouns.
