Study Notes

Pronoun Types and Functions

Nominative pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence. They represent the person or thing performing the action. "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they" are all examples of nominative pronouns.
Objective pronouns are used as the object of a verb or preposition. They receive the action of the verb or are the focus of the preposition. Examples include "me," "you," "him," "her," "it," "us," and "them."
Possessive pronouns show ownership. Examples include "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "its," "ours," and "theirs."
"She" in the sentence "She plays soccer every afternoon" is a nominative pronoun because it acts as the subject of the sentence.
"The teacher gave ___ the book". The correct objective pronoun to replace the blank is "her".
"Me" and "him" are both examples of objective pronouns.
"Mine" functions as a possessive pronoun indicating ownership.
"I am going to the store" correctly uses a nominative pronoun, "I," as the subject of the sentence.
The type of pronoun needed to fill the blank in "That pencil is ___" is a possessive pronoun, such as "mine" or "hers."
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. Common examples include "who," "whom," "whose," "what," and "which."
"She" is NOT an interrogative pronoun.
"Whose" is used to ask about ownership.
"That" when used in a sentence can be a demonstrative pronoun pointing to a specific thing.
The pronoun you would use in "The boy ___ won the race is my friend" is "who" as it is a relative pronoun connecting the two clauses.
The pronoun "which" refers to a non-human noun.
You would use "whose" to ask about possession or ownership.
"The girl who lives next door is my best friend" correctly uses a relative pronoun, "who," to connect the two clauses.
"Who" is the interrogative pronoun used to ask about a person's identity.
"Everyone" is an example of a singular indefinite pronoun.
"Themselves" in the sentence "They completed the project themselves" is an intensive pronoun emphasizing who completed the project.
"I" and "you" can function as both singular and plural depending on context.
Intensive pronouns emphasize the subject of a sentence. They add emphasis and clarity, highlighting who performed the action.
**"Everyone has their own opinion" **uses the correct form of an indefinite pronoun because "everyone" is singular, so "their" is the correct singular pronoun.
The pronoun that correctly fills the blank in "I hurt ___ while climbing the tree" is "myself".
"Both" is a plural indefinite pronoun.
When used as a reflexive pronoun, a compound personal pronoun reflects the action back on the subject of the sentence.
"The cat washed itself" demonstrates the use of an intensive pronoun, "itself," emphasizing the subject, "the cat."
"There isn’t anything in the fridge" correctly completes the sentence using the indefinite pronoun "anything".
"Nothing" is a singular indefinite pronoun.
The primary function of reflexive pronouns is to indicate that the action of the verb is performed by the subject and also received by the subject - the action is reflected back on the subject.
"The cat washed itself" demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement.
**Linking verbs **connect the subject to additional information about the subject describing its state or condition. Examples include "be," "seem," "appear," "become," "feel," "look," "sound," "taste," and "smell."
A helping verb always appears before a main verb. They work together to make a verb phrase. Examples include "will," "may," "should," "could," "would," "might," "can," "have," "has," "had," "do," "does," and "did."
**"We are going to the park" **uses a phrasal verb correctly.
The compound personal pronoun in the sentence "She taught herself to swim" is "herself".
