PRONOUN A pronoun is a word we use to take the place of a noun, which can be a person, place or thing. We use it (pronoun) to avoid repeating a noun that had already been mentioned. Example; Jim has a bicycle. Jim rides his bicycle every day. .. ?
EXAMPLES OF PRONOUN ARE. I, you, he, she, it, we, they, anyone, everyone , himself, myself, nobody, yourself, who. this, that, all, any, each, none, some, that, w hat, which, This is a big house. (This is a pronoun as it occurs independently.) This house is big. (This comes after the noun house, so it is not a pronoun. Here, this is a determiner. A determiner modifies a noun, which a pronoun does not do.) Some of the students were rather skinny. (Pronoun) Some students were rather skinny. (Determiner)
1. PERSONAL PRONOUNS Personal pronouns take the place of nouns that refer to people, but not all personal pronouns refer to people. The third person pronoun it refers to animals and things. Personal pronouns have number, person, and gender. The Personal Pronoun must be of the same number, gender, and person as the noun for which it represents. Number: The pronoun must agree with the noun it represents in number. Singular: The boy is playing with his kite. He has a red kite. Plural: The boys are playing with their kites. They have kites of various colours. Person: First person: I hate clipping my nails. Second person: You should not have done it. Third person: It is a rare species of fish. Gender: The pronoun must agree with the noun it represents in gender. Masculine: Jill has a boyfriend. He comes across as a bit of a bore to her. Feminine: John s sister loves to eat pizza. She eats it almost every day. Neuter: We have an old kitchen table. It has a broken leg.

2. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS Reflexive pronouns are those pronouns formed by adding self to singular and selves to plural possessives to produce the following: myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, oneself; and ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Reflexive Pronouns Singular Plural First person I : myself We : ourselves Second person You : yourself You : yourselves Third person He : himself They : themselves She : herself They : themselves It : itself They : themselves
EXAMPLE Sometimes I think to myself that it is time to lose some weight. She likes to look at the mirror and smile to herself. He tried to be himself and not be like Michael Jackson all the time
3. RELATIVE PRONOUNS A relative pronoun comes at the beginning of a relative clause. A relative clause is a subordinate clause that tells us more about the noun in the main clause. The relative clause comes immediately after the noun. The words of relative pronouns are.. that, which, who,whom, whose, whatever, whichever, whoever, whomever,
EXAMPLES That was the camera, which he bought. (Pronoun comes after which) The man is an artist. He drew those pictures. The man who drew those pictures is an artist The man whom they caught was sent to prison ( whom as the object of the verb) The man to whom you should speak is the manager. / The man whom you should speak to is the manager. ( when it comes after preposition)
4. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS The possessive pronouns are the possessive forms of personal pronouns. We use the personal pronouns in the possessive case to express possession. A possessive pronoun is able to stand on its own as subject, object. Possessive pronouns Singular Plural mine yours his hers ours yours theirs theirs
5. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS The four common demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, those. We use them to indicate the person, thing or place referred to Examples.. 1. Pronoun: This is the same story I heard from him before. 2. Pronoun: That is not a bird; it is a kite.
