To fix the pronouns in the sentence, you can specify the subject, for example, 'Alex cannot remember the book he was supposed to pick up from the station.' This improvement clarifies both the subject and the object in the sentence, enhancing clarity.

To fix the pronouns in the sentence 'I cannot remember the object I was supposed to pick up from the station,' we first need to understand the role of pronouns and how they can replace nouns in a sentence.

Subject Pronouns : These replace the subject of the sentence, like 'I,' 'you,' 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' 'we,' and 'they.' In this sentence, 'I' is the subject pronoun and it is used correctly.

Object Pronouns : These replace the object of the sentence, such as 'me,' 'you,' 'him,' 'her,' 'it,' 'us,' and 'them.'


In the sentence, 'the object' is a noun phrase, and there is no pronoun replacement needed here unless it's being referenced in a previous sentence.

Possessive Pronouns : These indicate ownership, like 'my,' 'your,' 'his,' 'her,' 'its,' 'our,' and 'their.' The sentence does not require a possessive pronoun replacement unless the object had been previously identified as belonging to someone.

Relative Pronouns : These introduce a dependent clause and relate to a noun mentioned earlier. Common relative pronouns are 'who,' 'whom,' 'whose,' 'which,' and 'that.' In this sentence, a relative pronoun ('that') is used as part of the phrase 'I was supposed to pick up from the station,' linking back to 'the object.'


Based on the given context, the pronouns are correctly used following standard sentence structure, and there is no need to make any changes. However, if this sentence appears within a larger text where 'the object' was clearly defined, one might replace 'the object' with a pronoun like 'it' if clarity and context are maintained.
