    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).
