 Pronoun

A pronoun is used in the place of a noun or phrase. Or Pronouns are words that substitute a noun or another pronoun.

Examples - I, you, he, she, it, who, themselves.

• This House belongs to us.
• I won the race.
• The matter is between Olivia and me.

 

Types of pronouns

1- Subject Pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they)

2- Object Pronouns (Me, you, him, her, it, us, and them)

3- Reflexive Pronouns (Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves)

4- Possessive Pronouns (Mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)

5- Demonstrative Pronouns (This, that, those, these)

6- Relative Pronouns (Who, which, that, whose)

 

• Subject Pronouns - Subject pronouns are used as grammatical subjects in a sentence. A subject pronoun does the action of the sentence instead of receiving the action, as an object/objective pronoun does.

 

Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb.

We do NOT normally say:

Olivia is tall and Olivia is intelligent.
