Pronouns in English<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pronouns are used to replace nouns or noun phrases in a sentence. They are used to refer a person, a thing, a group of people, or a group of things. There are different types of pronouns: subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns, reflexive pronouns. Let\u2019s take a look of pronouns in English here!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Subject Pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject of the sentence. They can be used to avoid the subject\u2019s name repetition. They are generally found at the beginning of the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nYou<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, male<\/td>\nHe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, female<\/td>\nShe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, neutral<\/td>\nIt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nWe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nYou<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nThey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

I<\/strong> am happy.<\/p>\n

He <\/strong>did not come to the party last night.<\/p>\n

We<\/strong> are 22 years old.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Object Pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Object pronouns are used to show the direct or indirect object of a verb in the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nMe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nYou<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, male<\/td>\nHim<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, female<\/td>\nHer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, neutral<\/td>\nIt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nUs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nYou<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nThem<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tell me<\/strong> that you are angry.<\/p>\n

We found him<\/strong> on the second floor.<\/p>\n

You can take all of them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Possessive Adjectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just like adjectives, possessive adjectives are adjectives, which modify nouns. They appear before nouns to indicate a possession of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nMy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nYour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, male<\/td>\nHis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, female<\/td>\nHer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, neutral<\/td>\nIts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nOur<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nYour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nTheir<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

These are my<\/strong> belongings.<\/p>\n

It is our <\/strong>responsibility to protect the environment.<\/p>\n

Could you please tell me what your<\/strong> name is?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Possessive Pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Possessive pronouns are also used to indicate possession. They can stand alone without followed by any other noun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nMine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nYours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, male<\/td>\nHis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, female<\/td>\nHers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, neutral<\/td>\n–<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nOurs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nYours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nTheirs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

This book is not mine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is she a friend of yours<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think these are ours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflexive Pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Reflexive pronouns refer to the subject. They are used when the subject and the object of the sentence are the same nouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nMyself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, singular<\/td>\nYourself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, male<\/td>\nHimself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, female<\/td>\nHerself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, singular, neutral<\/td>\nItself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nOurselves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nYourselves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person, plural<\/td>\nThemselves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
