A GOVERNING WORD

+312+ The preposition shows the relation between tords In this way it enables us to use a noun or a pronoun as a iven above, _I see the bird in the tree_, the preposition _in_ shows the relationshi+p between _bird_ and _tree_, andword It expresses a differentthan if we used the word _tree_ as an adjective For we do not mean that we see a tree bird, but a bird in a tree So with the help of the preposition _in_, we have used _tree_ as a overns the form of the word that follows it Since nouns have the same form whether they are used as subject or object, this does not e in the form of the nouns But pronouns have different forms for the subject and object, so e use a pronoun with a preposition, we must use the object form There are seven object forms of the personal pronouns, and after a preposition, always use one of these object forave it to _me_
