| 10.1 Pronouns - an Introduction |
We already had a short glance at the personal pronouns in the chapter 4 - personal pronouns in basic form. And we have seen that personal pronouns can substitute the subject of a phrase.
| Mary is beautiful. She is beautiful. |
She substitutes the subject of the phrase Mary. So far, so good. Not only can the subject of a phrase be substituted by a personal pronoun, but also the objects of the phrase (direct object and indirect object). And you will see it's not so different from the English logic.
| I give money to the men.
= Ich gebe den Männern Geld. I give it to them. = Ich gebe es ihnen. |
You'll notice that there is no preposition, but else the logic is the same.
