PRONOUNS

 DEFINITION
Pronouns usually replace or refer to a noun. They refer to an object or person that has
been previously mentioned.

 KINDS OF PRONOUNS
1. PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Personal pronouns are categorized by person. Subject pronouns typically precede the
verb(s), and they are the ones doing or being in the sentence.

Personal Pronoun-
Person Personal Pronoun-Objects
Subjects

1st person-singular I Me

2nd person-singular You You

3rd person-singular He/She/It Him/Her/It

1st person-plural We Us

2nd person-plural You You

3rd person-plural They Them

Word examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they and who.
Function: to indicate the subject or object in a sentence
Commentary: When a personal pronoun is the subject of a verb it is said to be in the
subjective form.
EXAMPLE:
 I go to school
Do i go to school?
 Me and my sister are watching television
Are me and my sister watching televison?
2. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive pronouns replace possessive noun phrases and express that an object or
person belongs to or is related to someone.

I Mine

You Yours

He/She/It His/Hers/Its

We Ours

You Yours

They Theirs

EXAMPLE:
 Three flower are hers
Are three flower hers?
 That book is yours
Is that book yours?

3. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS
Demonstrative pronouns (this/that/these/those) are used to refer to nouns that are not
persons but objects located in the vicinity of the speaker (this and these) or remote
from the speaker (that and those) or topics that have already been discussed, written
about or introduced. This and these refer to a topic(s) that have just been discussed,
written about or introduced, whereas that and those refer to topics that have not been
discussed recently or to another topic as opposed to the main topic at hand.

Proximity Singular Plural

This These
Close

That Those
Far
EXAMPLE:

 This is my book
Is this your book?
 Those are going to have to wait
Are those going to have wait?

4. REFLECTIVE PRONOUNS
Reflexive pronouns
(myself/yourself/himself/herself/itself/oneself/ourselves/yourselves/themselves)should
only be used when you want to refer back to the subject of the sentence. Do not use it
to replace the subject. When the subject consists of a pronoun and a noun, always use
the first person if it is part of the subject, the second person if the first person is not
part of the subject, or the third person if neither the first or second person are present.
EXAMPLE:
 My friends enjoy themselves at the theatre
Are my friends enjoy themselves at the theatre?
 vandi can fix the roof by himself
Can vandi fix the roof by himself?

5. RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Relative pronouns (who/whom/whose/that/which), unlike other pronouns, do not
replace nouns or pronouns but connect parts of the sentence to a noun(s) or a
pronoun(s). Deciding which one to use can be tricky

6. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS

Function: to ask questions. The interrogative pronoun represents the thing that the
question is about.
EXAMPLE:
 Putu is my best friend
Who is your best friend?
 Two pencils are yours
Which one is your pencil?

7. INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
Word examples: all, any, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything,
few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, and someone.
Function: refers to a non-specific person or thing. Conveys the idea of all, any, none
or some.
