Costs Versus Benefits. Costs and benefits are key factors that all economic decision makers take into account. Families, small business owners and others weigh the benefits and costs of decisions related to purchases, investments, sales and other expenditures before making a decision.
An object pronoun, also called objective pronoun, functions as the object of a verb or preposition, as distinguished from a subject or subjective pronoun, which is the subject of a verb. Examples: He begged her to live with him.
A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns refer to nouns that have already been mentioned or are about to be mentioned. For instance, in example 1, below, the pronoun she in the 2nd sentence refers to the noun phrase the school principal in the 1st sentence. noun phrase is a string of words, consisting of a noun plus any modifiers, that functions as a noun in a sentence. A noun phrase can act as a subject or an object. In the sentence below, ten of her friends from college is a noun phrase that acts as the object of the verb invited.
