Nine Types of English Pronouns Personal Pronouns Reflexive object possessive possessive Pronouns form adjective pronoun me my mine myself you your yours yourself him his his himself her her hers herself it its its itself us our ours ourselves you your yours yourselves them their theirs themselves Personal Pronouns stand for persons and are characterized by “person”. 1st person, (I, we), 2nd person (you), 3rd person (he, she, it, they). Note that in the chart above the form changes depending on how the pronouns is used – subject or object Possessive Pronouns show ownership and reflect the person and number of noun they represent. Please note that none of the possessive pronouns are spelled with an apostrophe. Demonstrative Pronouns identify or point to nouns. (this / that / these / those / such) Relative Pronouns (who / whoever, which / that) relate groups of words to nouns or other pronouns. Some general thoughts: “Who” connects or relates to the subject. He is the student who won the spelling bee. “Which” generally introduces clauses that are parenthetical (could be removed from the sentence without changing the essential meaning. I just finished reading, The Help, which is one of my favorite books. Which usually refers to things; who / whoever refers to people. Whom / Whomever refer to people in the objective form. Indefinite Pronouns do not refer to specific nouns but function themselves as nouns. Everyone is wondering if any is left. Everybody / anybody /somebody / all / each / every / none / one Intensive Pronouns ( myself, yourself, herself, ourselves, themselves) consist of a personal pronoun plus self or selves and emphasize a noun. (I myself don't know the answer.) It is possible (but rather unusual) for an intensive pronoun to precede the noun it refers to. (Myself, I don't believe a word he says.) Reflexive Pronouns which have the same form as intensive pronouns indicate that the sentence subject also receives the action of the verb. Students who cheat on test only hurt themselves. Interrogative Pronouns (who / which / what) introduce questions. Which do you prefer? Who will help me? What is that? Reciprocal Pronouns (each other and one another) are convenient forms for combining ideas. Bob and Anna gave each other a book for Christmas. If more than two people are involved, use one another. The members of the book club gave one another a book for Christmas. subject form I you he she it we you they 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns
