PRONOUNS

We use pronouns to represent people in our sentences and to avoid saying the same names again and again.

There are four main types of pronoun:

v  Subject Pronouns

èare the pronouns we use to replace the name of the subject of the sentence – the person, place or thing that is doing the action.

v  Object Pronouns

èare the pronouns we use to replace the object of the sentence; the person, place, or thing that the sentence is done to.

v  Possessive Pronouns – Possessive Adjectives

èare the ones that we put before a noun to describe who it belongs to.

v  Possessive Pronouns

èreplace a noun in a sentence.

v  Reflexive Pronouns

èare an interesting type of pronoun.  We use them when the subject and the subject and the object of a sentence are the same.

All different types of pronoun are listed in the table below:
