Study Notes
Antecedents
- An antecedent refers to the noun a pronoun replaces within a sentence.
- Examples:
- "Sally rode her bike." (antecedent: Sally, pronoun: her)
- "The dog wagged its tail." (antecedent: the dog, pronoun: its)
Personal Pronouns
- Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
- Object pronouns are used after a verb or preposition (me, you, him, her, it, us, them).
Possessive Pronouns vs. Possessive Adjectives
- Possessive pronouns stand alone and replace a noun (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs).
- Possessive adjectives come before a noun to show ownership (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).
Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns
- Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves).
- Intensive pronouns emphasize the subject and can be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Demonstrative Pronouns
- Demonstrative pronouns indicate specific things or people (this, that, these, those).
- "this" and "that" are singular.
- "these" and "those" are plural.
- "this" and "these" refer to things that are closer.
- "that" and "those" refer to things that are farther away.
Relative Pronouns
- Relative pronouns connect a clause to a noun or pronoun (who, whom, whose, which and that).
