Pronouns

What is a pronoun? A pronoun is a word used to take the place of a noun or another pronoun.

Three Forms Subject Object Possessive

Subject Singular: I, you, she, he, it Plural: we, you, they Ex.: They cut the tree down. Ex.: I went to the mall.

Object Singular: me, you, her, him, it Plural: us, you, them Ex.: William thanked her. Ex.: Maggie asked us to join in.

Possessive Singular: my, mine, your, yours, her, hers, his, its Plural: our, ours, your, yours, their, theirs Ex.: Where is his book? Ex.: That is my choice.

Possessives and Contractions Beware! Many people confuse the possessive forms of some pronouns with the contractions they resemble. Pairs often confused include: its and it’s, your and you’re, & their and they’re. Remember: the possessive pronouns DO NOT have apostrophes! The dog lost its tags. VS. It’s raining again. The twins rode their bikes. VS. They’re riding bikes.

What is an ANTECEDENT? The antecedent of a pronoun is the noun or the other pronoun for which the pronoun replaces/stands. The antecedent USUALLY appears before the pronoun in a sentence; sometimes it appears in the sentence before. The architect came today and brought her drawings. (architect is the antecedent of her) Debby and Tom came in. They were laughing. (Debby and Tom are the antecedents of they)

Indefinite Pronouns And indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to a particular person or thing. Some are singular and some are plural.
