Pronouns (Let's learn series #1: English lesson)
What is a Pronoun?
In simple words, a pronoun is a word used instead of a noun.
The seven pronouns
There are mainly seven pronouns,
- I
- We
- You
- They
- He
- She
- It
Pronouns have Subjective, Objective, Reflexive and Possessive forms
Subjective pronouns
If a pronoun comes as the Subject of a sentence, we have to use the subjective form of the Pronouns.
- I
- We
- You
- They
- He
- She
- It
eg: I went to school
We go to the beach
You study hard
They are so kind
He is angry
She is cute
It is on the table
Objective pronouns
When we have to use a pronoun as the object of a sentence, we have to use the Objective form of the pronouns.
- I - me
- we- us
- you - you
- they - them
- he - him
- she - her
- it - it
eg :Ravi told me.
Kasun blamed us
He gave you
She taught them.
Mr.Nimal punished him.
He told her.
He washed it.
Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are normally used when the object of a sentence is the same as the subject.
- I - myself
- We - ourselves
- You - yourself
- They- themselves
- He - himself
- She - herself
- It - itself
eg: I did it myself.
We did it ourselves.
You did it yourself
They did it themselves
He did it himself
She did it herself
It did it itself
Possessive pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used to demonstrate ownership. There are two forms of Possessive nouns.
- I - my/mine
- We - our/ours
- You - your/yours
- They - their/theirs
- He - his/his
- She - her/hers
- It - its/its
eg: This is my house / This house is mine.
This is our house / This house is ours.
This is your house/ This house is yours.
This is their house / This house is theirs.
This is his house
This is her house / This house is hers.
This is its house
We use the first form of the possessive pronoun in the middle of the sentence and the second form at the end of the sentence.
