Allthelight:
Your examples are wrong
Except "them" is the only word in that sentence it can't be correct.

Like "them!"

Yes, them is an objective case pronoun, not a subjective case pronoun, so in general, "them" cannot be used at the beginning of a sentence. However, there are some exceptions, such as when the pronoun "them" is used as the subject of a gerund phrase. A gerund phrase is a verb phrase that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. In this case, the gerund phrase can be the subject of the sentence, while the pronoun "them" is the subject of the gerund phrase.

For example, the sentence "Them playing in the garden is fun to watch" is correct because "them playing in the garden" is a gerund phrase that functions as the subject of the sentence and the pronoun "them" is the subject of the gerund phrase.

streetfabulous:
Very petty. Marry and face your life. She may end up marrying someone more responsible.

Exactly.

😂 The guy is a clown. So if he no marry her she no go marry. If the lady decide to also act immature e go pain him. On her wedding day, she should just post I get the best at last.

etrange:
In sentence one, "them" is used as the subject of the verb "ventured". This is wrong cause it's an object pronoun and can never perform the grammatical function of a subject pronoun. Note that the nearby expression "the brave explorers" is a appositive noun phrase that only adds extra details.

In sentence two, "them" is used as the subject of the verb "perched". This is wrong cause it's an object pronoun and can never perform the grammatical function of a subject pronoun. Note that the nearby expression "the the colorful birds" is a appositive noun phrase that only adds extra details.

In sentence two, "them" is used as the subject of the verb "perched". This is wrong cause it's an object pronoun and can never perform the grammatical function of a subject pronoun. Note that the nearby expression "the old books in the dusty library" is a appositive noun phrase that only adds extra details.

Appositives only serve to provide more details about a noun or a pronoun. A sentence should still be correct without them. Now, let's try removing the parts I identified as appositive noun phrases in your sentences and see if the they are correct.

1. Them ventured deep into the uncharted jungle, seeking hidden treasures.
2.Them perched high in the treetops, filling the forest with their melodious songs.
3.Them held secrets and stories from centuries past, waiting to be discovered.

As you can see, they're all wrong. That's because only a subject pronoun can be used be as the subject of a verb. In this case, that would be "they".

@OP, while such contructs might not be uncommon in old English, I believe they're only found in poetry today. Also, it's "good at English" in this context, not "good in English".



You're correct, but those are not reduced relative clauses. They are not even clauses at all. They noun phrases, and they function as appositives in the sentences made by that guy.

You provided an adequate explanation. "Them" is an objective case pronoun, not a subjective case pronoun, so in general, "them" cannot be used at the beginning of a sentence. However, there are some exceptional cases where it is acceptable.

Gee64:
You can't begin a sentence with a Noun Object.

That is not true.

Papilagreen:
We in America we sometimes say.

Them all doing good. Thanks for asking.
A form of exchanging pleasantries

It might just be a slang. It is not generally used even in the United States.

Allthelight:
How ?

1. Them being reunited altogether was a joyous occasion.
2. Them getting back together after a long separation was so surprising.
3. Them finding their lost son called for celebration.

Allthelight:
How can a sentence in English start with them. . take english classes

Them is an objective class not a subjective case...

It is difficult but it might be possible.

🙄

dontrulee:
My life is my evidence.
Now fvck yourself off my mention. Thanks

You go explain tire.
You too no dey cry on top my mention. Thanks.

dontrulee:
With the woman parting with most of the money and at an advantage while leaving the man at a disadvantage.

That's why as a man, you must learn about Red pill to avoid pit holes and traps such as this

You just dey shalaye, no evidence.

Negroid001:
The thing pain hanty.
Your writeup is confusing and naive. You want to avoid the obvious truth. Y'all are nothing more than holes with different market value.

Man is the price!

You still dey explain, no evidence.

Virginity is not a guarantee to happy married life, but biblical standard.

You just hit the nail on the head.

What A Red Pill Man Wrote About His Gender
By the age of seven at the latest, most men have decided to become public toilets. Or, to put it another way, they have planned a future for themselves which consists of persuading several ladies to participate in sexual activities with them.

In return for the ladies acceptance, they judge and criticize ladies at every given moments. The minute a man has made this decision he ceases to develop his mind.

He may, of course, go on to obtain more money. These increase his market value in the eyes of women, for women believe that a man who is able to understand and manage his business properly must also know and understand them. But any real possibility of communication between the sexes ceases at a point after he shows is true colours. Their paths are divided forever.

Kobojunkie:
No mind am. Remove sex from the equation and you will find that even he would not have anything to do with more than 1 or 2 gals as well. These ones think sex equates to love for a woman when all it is is that they are driven by their dicks in whatever direction it leads..

😂

tivhador:
Keep quiet if you have no proof to support your statement

You still dey explain, you wey accept Op long story without evidence, why you dey cry on top my own

advanceDNA:
...don't u women tempt men with ur seductive, almost núdé dressing?? Do u see men blaming their fvckabout life style on u women.....

Everyone wants to fvck .....that's the fact....but u women want the men u willingly chose to spread ur legs for to be responsible for u own chastity....and the men u meet many years after ur many abortions and high body not to care weda u have tossed ur womb in one clinic or if ur dick-hoping life will be a problem in marriage...

At the end of the day ..everyone will make their decision, weda to fvck around or remain a virgin, let's all enjoy/embrace the personal consequences instead of expecting people who didn't contribute to our body count to be nice to us.... Nobody cares what we decided to do with our bodies.... Nobody gives a flying fvck

Read my comment again, but this time, read it slowly and steadily so that you can grasp my point.

Merry100:
With the amount of persuasion and temptation that ladies receive from guys, if not for religion, virgins would barely exist. It is not wrong for guys to have their preferences, but it is hypocritical for guys to judge ladies for an act they usually initiate or persuade ladies to do and in which they also partake in.

Stop deceiving yourself; it is not a gender issue; it is a personality issue. There are many promiscuous men also.

Kingcalls:
Why do women that render men broke wanna marry rich men

Why do broke men marry women that are not their preferences, but within their reach, make them mothers, and then leave them to go and marry their preferences after they become rich?

Persephone1:
It's always about what women do or don't.

Future Leaders of tomorrow

Yes o.

Unserious guys are usually the ones demanding for too much from their girlfriends, even after their current girlfriends put in all her best and accept to play the role of a wife instead of a girlfriend, las las they will try more than ten ladies before settling for one.

Dating is simply a fun and exciting way to meet new people, learn about yourself and find a potential long-term partner. However, dating doesn't always lead to a lifelong commitment. It might just last for a while. So, it is important to enjoy the time spent together without putting too much pressure on each other.

Friends care about one another, are a great source of support to one another, and share a bond of mutual affection and empathy, so why try to overwork your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is simply a friend, she is a female friend who you are romantically involved with, so only expect her to play the role of a friend and perform the duties of a friend. She can provide you with emotional support, companionship, and advice. She can also be a great listener and someone to share your thoughts and feelings with.

Must dating create emotional trauma or lead to future regrets for ladies? Dating should have a positive impact on a person's mental health. It should create memorable moments and excitement.

You should help each other to learn and grow. Spend time socializing, engaging in shared activities, and enjoying each other's company. Stop creating unnecessary duties.

Kobojunkie:
So being a girlfriend is a job to you? So is the boyfriend the employer in that case? If so, then the gal would need to ask her employer exactly what the duties/responsibilities for her position would be in that case. Companies tend to have different job requirements/duties so you would need to ask the particular boyfriend then since the gal would be an employee of his.

😂

BigBashiru:
But it's a significantly depreciated asset. Im better off just having a series of girlfriends....

Why refer to women as assets? You fit the role of a current asset.

If you decide to become a community dick and hire a series of women as your girlfriends, until they retire to become other men's wives, they will consider you an appreciated asset because you are simply a current asset to them. Current assets are cash and other assets that are expected to be converted to cash within a year.

Pinkybush:
To a pay lady's salary in the form of urgent 2k, feeding money, house rent, etc

But I am not in need of urgent 2k, feeding money and house rent. Should I also consider guys useless because the duties you listed is not required?

BigBashiru:
Never made sense to me....Why do husbands pay full price, bride price, expensive introductions, travelling hundreds of kilometers to see parents....for someone that was never truly theirs?? That boyfriends had for free without any of those processes?

I think marriages should just be mostly a celebration of God....

Because they get to have it for a lifetime.

MrsTwrite:
There's absolutely nothing to worry about, she doesn't want a situation in the future whereby, her husband will see her as a liability.

Exactly.

I've been thinking since last year about the duty of a boyfriend in a relationship, but could not have an answer. Since you are a guy you should be able to give me an answer to this question.

IconicR:
She should have simply moved on with her life
I can't even imagine crying over anybody in this life not to talk of doing harm to myself because of somebody's son
If one door closes several other doors will open.

If it had just been the cancellation of the wedding, she might have easily moved on. She might have been majorly traumatized by the rape.

tivta:
The truth is, girls will always be the major causality cause of gullibility, greed, thirst for material things or just natural body weakness.

There are stories out there of broke men trying to use their girlfriends for rituals. Stop victim blaming. Most of those rich guys involved in rituals were once broke, they might have used decent and responsible ladies that were not greedy or thirsty for material things for their first rituals, they might just be using other ladies for renewal after the ritual money start flowing in.

Wickedness is not written on the head of the wicked. Both guys and ladies needs to be more careful and prayerful.

Abfinest007:
why will you avoid sex

Her body is not a shared property; she owns her body. If she is avoiding sex, it simply means she does not want to have sex.

Reminderz:
i would approve of all this pepperezi is she is a virgin... if not, it's just another day of beta males and simps getting married to a hoe..

Na too much breakfast dey cause dis kind bitterness.
