## The Pronoun Noun के स्थान पर प्रयुक्त होने वाले शब्द को Pronoun (सर्वनाम) कहते हैं। Mohan is absent because Mohan is ill. इस वाक्य को इस प्रकार कह सकते हैं - Mohan is absent because he is ill. यहाँ 'he' Pronoun है जो Noun 'Mohan' के बदले आया है । Pronouns निम्न प्रकार के होते हैं : ### (1) Personal Pronouns Personal Pronouns उन्हें कहते हैं जो तीन तरह के Persons के लिए आते हैं । (i) First Person - बात करने वाला (the person speaking); जैसे - I, we, me, us, mine, our, ours, mine. (ii) Second Person - जिससे बात की जाए (the person spoken to); जैसे – you, your, yours, thou, thee, thine. (iii) Third Person – जिसके विषय में बात की जाय (the person or thing spoken of); जैसे- he, she, it, its, him, they, them, her, hers, his, their, theirs. ### (2) Relative Pronouns जो Pronouns दो वाक्यों को जोड़ते हैं तथा अपने से पहले प्रयोग हुए Noun से सम्बन्ध प्रकट करते हैं, उन्हें Relative Pronouns कहते हैं। जैसे - I know the boy who came here. इस वाक्य में who Relative Pronoun है तथा 'boy' इसका antecedent है जिससे यह सम्बन्ध प्रकट करता है । Who, whom, whose, which, what, as, that मुख्य Relative Pronouns हैं । ### (3) Interrogative Pronouns जो Pronouns प्रश्न पूछने का कार्य करते हैं, उन्हें Interrogative Pronouns कहते हैं। जैसे - Who are you? What do you want? Which is your pen? Who, whose, whom, which, what आदि Interrogative Pronouns हैं । ### (4) Demonstrative Pronouns जो Pronouns किसी Noun की ओर संकेत करते हैं, उन्हें Demonstrative (संकेतवाचक) Pronouns कहते हैं। This, that, these, those आदि ऐसे Pronouns हैं। जैसे - This is my pen. That is your book. Note: my, our, your, thy, their, its Possessive Adjectives हैं जब इसके बाद कोई noun आता है। ### (5) Reflexive Pronouns कुछ Pronouns के बाद self या selves लगाकर हम नवीन Pronouns बनाते हैं। उन्हें Reflexive Pronouns कहते हैं। I से myself, we से ourselves, you से yourself या yourselves, he से himself, she से herself, it से itself, they से themselves, जब वाक्य का Subject तथा Object एक ही व्यक्ति हो तो Reflexive Pronoun का प्रयोग होता है। जैसे - I hurt myself. The boy killed himself. जब Reflexive Pronoun उस Pronoun से सटा हुआ होता है जिससे वह बनता है, अथवा subject द्वारा की गई क्रिया का परिणाम प्रत्यावर्तित होकर subject को प्रभावित करता है तो उसे Emphatic Pronoun कहते हैं । e.g. I myself wash my clothes. He himself is responsible for his failure. I myself did it. She herself prepared the food. ### (6) Indefinite Pronouns कभी-कभी Pronouns किसी निश्चित Noun के बदले में न आकर अनिश्चित Noun के लिए आते हैं। ऐसे Pronouns को Indefinite Pronouns कहते हैं। जैसे One must love one's country. Some are born poets. All, much, little, one, some, none, few, many, any इसी प्रकार के Pronouns हैं । ### (7) Distributive Pronouns ये Pronouns वाक्य में प्रयोग हुए व्यक्तियों अथवा वस्तुओं में से प्रत्येक का बोध कराते हैं। Each, either, neither आदि इसी प्रकार के Pronouns हैं। जैसे - Each of the girls got a reward. Neither of the two bats is good. Either of the two roads leads to the station. ### Reciprocal Pronouns ये Pronouns पारस्परिक सम्बन्ध करने के लिए प्रयुक्त होते हैं । जैसे - e.g. Arun and Varun help each other. We are the four friends. We love one another. ## Rules relating to Pronouns **Rule 1.** किसी भी Pronoun का Person, Number तथा Gender अपने पूर्ववर्ती Noun के अनुसार होता है। 1.

(c) Phrases में Adjective को उसके Noun के पश्चात् रखते हैं । जैसे – Heir apparent; Time immemorial; Point blank; Words sublime; God the Almighty. **Rule 2.** Superior, junior, inferior, prior, senior आदि शब्द जिनके अन्त में 'ior' लगा होता है Comparative Degree में ही प्रयोग करते हैं और इनके पश्चात् "Than' के स्थान पर 'To' का प्रयोग करते हैं । जैसे - 1. Shyam is inferior to Mohan. 2. He is senior to me. **Rule 3.** Interior, exterior, major, minor, former, latter, upper, inner, outer आदि Adjectives का प्रयोग Positive Degree की भाँति होता है। जैसे – 1. He received a minor injury. 2. He has finished the major portion of his work. 3. He lives in the upper storey. **Rule 4.** कुछ Adjectives अर्थ में सर्वोच्च स्थिति (highest degrees) दिखाते हैं । अतः इनकी Comparative और Superlative Degrees नहीं होती हैं । जैसे round, perfect, unique, chief, complete, eternal, extreme, ideal, entire, empty, universal, square आदि । 1. Incorrect - This book is most complete in every way. Correct This book is complete in every way. 2. Incorrect - He is the most perfect gentleman. Correct He is a perfect gentleman. **Rule 5.** दो व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं की तुलना के लिए Comparative Degree और इससे अधिक के लिए Superlative Degree का प्रयोग करते हैं । जैसे 1.
