Primary English 1/Pronouns

Pronouns - Pronouns, basically, take place of a noun, such as in this sentence: Joe and Margret went both together into the wilderness. But Joe decided to be abandon her and Margret never became friends with him ever again. Take a closer look, both, her, him, are all pronouns. Since both replaces "Joe and Margret", her replaces "Margret", and him replaces Joe. Remember "Pronouns" as taking place of "nouns" themselves. Such as that as garbage, like here: Take that and put in the trash!

They are different types of Pronouns: Subject, Objects, Possessive Adjectives, Possessive Pronouns, and Reflexive Pronouns.

Subject Pronouns
As the subject, such as "I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they", wish shows the subject. Like here: they are moving to Monica's house. The whole subject/about is "They", referring to someone.

Think of it as this if the above explanation does not help you. Noting that these pronouns are "subjects", they would be the "about". Take a look at these sentences:
 * Maybe [?] should go to school

And now, you might be thinking "who?!". And then we replace that [?] with a subject pronoun, such as "he, she, they, or us, we, you". Let's go with "We".


 * Maybe we should go to school

And now you know who they are talking about, they are talking about several people, including himself.

Object Pronouns
Object, to "me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them". Remember "object", for someone else, like "Look at her!". Her is the "object", since her is being someone (object).

Remember those words as referring to an "object", like "it". Or someone (which can be considered an object), by "her, him".

Possessive Adjectives
"Possessive" as mean "belonging to someone" pronouns, such as: "Her ball is bouncy!". The her is referring to someone's ball in the passage. In which, "her" is to belong to someone, and here, "her" is a girl's ball.

Other Possessive Adjectives are: My, your, his, her, its, our, your, their.
 * Exercise your knowledge
 * His dog is mad
 * Your mom is really nice
 * Their dad works in the army
 * Its his toy

Possessive Pronouns
Possessive: "Mine, yours, his, hers, ours, yours, theirs". These are Possessive NOUNS, not ADJECTIVES. But for "Adjectives', you could add "s" after every pronoun, except "my" for Possessive Adjectives", which is "mine". Here, possessive nouns are used in sentences.
 * Exercise your knowledge
 * Those are mine
 * How are those balls yours if we bought them?
 * Theirs a snake in my boot!

Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive Pronouns: "Myself, Yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves", are "reflexive pronouns". Think of "reflecting", with "reflexive". "Self", refers to someone on themselves. So think of that like that when you're wondering about "Reflexive Pronouns".
 * Exercise your knowledge
 * He told himself to study
 * The project itself is a test!

Singular Pronouns

 * anyone - anyone, refers to "one"
 * anything - think of it as any one thing.
 * each - "Each (refers to one person in this sentence) and everyone of you should work together!"
 * either - ^same as above: "Either one of you should move to another table"
 * everyone - all one person: "Everyone, stand up!"

...then much, none, no one, and somebody are also Singular Pronouns

Plural Pronouns

 * both - More than one person: "Both of you go outside!"
 * few - Still more than, but "few": "Few of you got bad grades, good!"
 * several - More than one: "Several of my sons play soccer!"

Singular and Plural Pronouns

 * All - Every person in the room contributes to the whole "more than 1", and one each: "All of you stand up!".
 * Any - All, but each person: "Any person got a good grade?"

...then more, most, and some.
