Let's Talk

During the week, we we will learn all about introduction and pronouns ( I, you, me, we, they, us, it) and the verb to be too, including the "ing" in order to let your tongue be more unwrapped.

Pronoun

Pronouns replace nouns. A different pronoun is required depending on two elements: the noun being replaced and the function that noun has in the sentence. In English, pronouns only take the gender of the noun they replace in the 3rd person singular form. The 2nd person plural pronouns are identical to the 2nd person singular pronouns except for the reflexive pronoun.

Pronoun

Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns replace nouns that are the subject of their clause. In the 3rd person, subject pronouns are often used to avoid repetition of the subject's name.

Examples

I am 16.

You seem lost.

Jim is angry, and he wants Sally to apologize.

This table is old.  It needs to be repainted.

We aren't coming.

They don't like pancakes.

Object Pronouns

Object pronouns are used to replace nouns that are the direct or indirect object of a clause.

Examples

Give the book to me.

The teacher wants to talk to you.

Jake is hurt because Bill hit him.

Rachid received a letter from her last week. Mark can't find it.

Don't be angry with us.

Tell them to hurry up!

Possessive Adjectives (Determiners)

These are not pronouns, but rather determiners. It is useful to learn them at the same time as pronouns, however, because they are similar in form to the possessive pronouns. Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so they appear before the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as pronouns do.

Examples

Did mother find my shoes?

Mrs. Baker wants to see your homework.

Can Jake bring over his baseball cards?

Samantha will fix her bike tomorrow.

The cat broke its leg.

This is our house.

Where is their school?

Possessive pronouns

This replace possessive nouns as either the subject or the object of a clause. Because the noun being replaced doesn't appear in the sentence, it must be clear from the context.

Examples

This bag is mine.

Yours is not blue.

That bag looks like his.

These shoes are not hers.

That car is ours.

Theirs is parked in the garage.

Reflexive & Intensive Pronouns

Reflexive and intensive pronouns are the same set of words but they have different functions in a sentence.

Examples

I told myself to calm down.

You cut yourself on this nail?

He hurt himself on the stairs.

She found herself in a dangerous part of town.

The cat threw itself under my car!

We blame ourselves for the fire.

The children can take care of themselves.
