Pronouns

Why are pronouns important? My friend Jan barely survived Jan’s family vacation last summer. Jan was sailing with Jan’s family off the coast of Florida when a storm came up. The storm capsized Jan and Jan’s family’s boat. Fortunately, Jan and Jan’s family had life jackets, which saved Jan and Jan’s family’s lives.

Key Vocabulary Pronoun: a word that is used in place of a noun or another pronoun Antecedent: the word that the pronoun takes the place of or refers to Personal pronouns: refer to a person speaking (first person), a person spoken to (second person), or the person spoken about (third person)

Personal Pronouns Nominative/ Subjective Objective Case Possessive 1st Person I we me us my/mine our/ours 2nd Person you your yours 3rd Person he/she it they him/her them his/her/hers its their/theirs

Using the correct case… Objective Case Uses: when the pronoun follows/comes after an action verb when the pronoun is the object of a prepositional phrase Examples: between you and me, after him, before her, with us Nominative/Subjective Case Uses: when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence or verb When the pronoun follows a linking verb Linking verbs: am, is, are, be, was, were, etc.

Hints for using the correct case… Try both the subjective and objective case pronoun and listen for the one that sounds correct. He/him lifeguards at the neighborhood pool during the summer. (He lifeguards or Him lifeguards?) The rescuers found he/him after 3 hours. (found he or found him?) If the subject or object is compound, ignore the first one and just try the pronouns. My brother and I/me watched a movie last night. (I watched or Me watched?) The raft belongs to my brother and he/him. (belongs to he or belongs to him?)

Hints for using the correct case… If the pronoun follows a linking verb, switch the subject and the pronoun. The biggest supporters were she and I/her and me. (She and I were or Her and me were?) The greatest students are they/them. (They are the greatest or Them are the greatest?) If the pronoun is at the end of a sentence following the word THAN, finish the sentence: She is smarter than I/me. (She is smarter than I am or smarter than me am?) You look better than I/me. (You look better than I do or me do?)

Let’s Practice! Hurricane Floyd ravaged the East Coast in 1999. The extent of the damage horrified my friends and I/me. My brother and I/me read that Floyd was 600 miles across and had winds of 155 mph. Gerald Keeth is a U.S. sailor; the hurricane gave the others and he/him the scare of his life. “The bad weather started pounding we/us Tuesday night,” he wrote. They/them launched their life raft in 55 foot seas with 60 knot winds. The raft accidentally left behind two others and he/him. They/Them only had life jackets and an emergency locator beacon. “I could hear each wave from behind I/me like a freight train coming,” he said. Finally a helicopter rescued they/them. “A rescue swimmer put a harness on each of we/us and we/us were hauled into the helicopter,” he continued.
