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

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

Merry100:

It is difficult but it might be possible.

Allthelight:
How ?

Goalnaldo:
1.Them, the brave explorers ventured deep into the uncharted jungle, seeking hidden treasures.
2.Them, the colorful birds perched high in the treetops, filling the forest with their melodious songs.
3.Them, the old books in the dusty library held secrets and stories from centuries past, waiting to be discovered😊

Papilagreen:
We in America we sometimes say.

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

Goalnaldo:
1.Them, the brave explorers ventured deep into the uncharted jungle, seeking hidden treasures.
2.Them, the colorful birds perched high in the treetops, filling the forest with their melodious songs.
3.Them, the old books in the dusty library held secrets and stories from centuries past, waiting to be discovered😊

AllKnowing:


All wrong constructions. Take away the reduced relative clauses and repeat the sentences to yourself.

Sound awful, yes?

“Them” is an object pronoun, remember? It’s moderately possible, employing the infinitive, to have something which begins thus: “To them…”

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

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.

Vinnie2000:


See the Time you commented.

U no dey Sleep for Night?

A True BAT, you are! 😒😕

Merry100:

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:


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

Like "them!"

Merry100:

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 case where it is acceptable.

Merry100:

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

etrange:



I only said that the examples given by the guy were all wrong. And then I added "@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'" So you can give the OP your own examples to showcase the exceptions.

Them alone, went to the beach Them to themselves.

talented321:
Make 3 sentences starting with ''them''.. Let see the elites...

Merry100:
Most of us only know the basics of English. I am not an English teacher, but the sentences I provided seem correct to me. There are more than one English rule pointing to the fact that it is possible to use "them" to start a sentence. I wish a very knowledgeable English professor could shed more light on this, like a professor from Harvard, Oxford, or Cambridge, not our usual English teachers that only know to an extent. There is more than one English rule pointing to the fact that it is possible to use "them" to start a sentence.

Allthelight:


There is no possible way i have read your examples.

In this case expect "them" is not a pronoun but a noun instead since nouns can be any word. Example an abbreviation

Merry100:

What do you mean by in this case "them" is not a pronoun? Do you mean that a pronoun cannot begin a sentence?

Allthelight:
why will i say that ?
Expect i say something like

Them is not used to start a sentence.

In the above them becomes a noun not a pronoun

Or them is the only word in that sentence like

Them ! or them ? why them ?

Rucheen:
Them is an English word

Them, cannot be used to start a sentence easily

Them is the only pronoun in the phrase
