Subject pronouns go before verbs as subjects and object pronouns go alter verbs or prepositions as objects,
e.g.
-I like him a lot.
•We do not use a noun and a personal pronoun together.
e.g.
- Jim is at work. (Not : (Jim) he is …)
•We use there + be to mention something for the first time or to say that something or someone exists.
We use it + be to give more details about something or someone that has already been mentioned.
We also use it to refer to a person when we are identifying him or her.
Examples
-there is a message for you. It is from your boss.
-Who's on the phone? It's Mr. Fox.
•We can use it as the subject to talk about weather, distance, temperature and time and also with: it seems/appears that/it is said that, It doesn't matter, it looks like. etc.
Examples
-It's a ten-minute drive to the station. It's 23 'C outside.
-it seems that there are some problems with the new management.
OR There seem to BE some problems with the new management.
•We use it to talk about something that has already been made clear.
We use one when it is not clear which thing in particular we are talking about.
e.g.
-I can't find my wallet. Have you seen it? (The speaker is talking about a specific wallet.)
-I haven't got any nice jumpers; I need to buy one (The speaker is not talking about a specific jumper)
•In short answers and after as and than we use an object pronoun (informal) of a subject pronoun + auxiliary verb (formal).
e.g.
-I hate jazz. OR 'me too. I'll do too.'
-She spends more money than me/than I do.
