Personal Pronouns personal pronouns Brain Pop subjective objective typical pronouns replace the subject or object. They must agree in gender, number and case. Brain Pop subjective objective I, you, he, she, it, we, they me, you, him, her, it, us, them

Demonstrative Pronouns point out a specific person, place, thing, or idea NEVER USE HERE OR THERE WITH A DEMONSTRATIVE examples: this, that, these, those

Intensive pronouns Emphasize the noun or pronoun in the same sentence Intensive are not necessary for the understanding of the sentence Example Sentence I myself cannot stand to watch scary movies. Examples of both (copy these): myself, ourselves, yourself, yourselves, himself, herself, itself, themselves

Reflexive pronouns Refer to the subject and directs the action of the verb back to the subject You need it for the sentence to make sense! Example: I patted myself on the back! I looked at myself in the mirror.
