Getting to know pronouns.

Pronoun- takes the place of a noun. Example: Tom got his backpack stuck in the door. In this sentence, his replaces "Tom." Antecedent- the noun that the pronoun replaces. In the previous sentence, Tom is the antecedent of his.

"Ante" is a root word meaning "before." If you are looking for the antecede of a particular pronoun, look at the nouns used before the pronoun in question. HINT: Sometimes the antecedent is implied. Example: Give her the shoe. In this example, the antecedent of the pronoun "her" is an implied, feminine noun. It could be replaced by Sally, your sister, or any other feminine noun.

1. Sally got her shoes today. 2. Get in your car. 3. Grayson looked over his homework. 1. Sally 2. You 3. Grayson

In your notes, write the antecedent of the pronouns in bold. 1. Colt left his sister a note because she slept in. 2. Get him a glass of water. 3. The park was closed because the contracor was working on it. 4. Your mother called to say that she will be late.

1. sister 2. Any masculine (male) noun 3. Park 4. Mother

 Personal pronouns are the most common pronouns. They refer to (1) the person speaking, (2) the person spoken to, and (3) the person, place, or thing spoken about.  Personal pronouns also have number (singular or plural). Finally, personal pronouns have gender (masculine, feminine, neuter)

 Singular  I, Me, My, Mine  Plural  We, Us, Our, Ours

 Singular  You, Your, Yours  Plural  You, Your, Yours  Did you notice anything? That’s right! Second person pronouns are the same whether the pronoun is singular or plural!

 Singular  He, Him, His, She, Her, Hers, It, Its  Plural  They, Them, Their, Theirs

 Using the correct pronoun will help your reader to understand who or what you are talking about.  If your reader understands who or what you are writing about, they will understand your purpose.  If your reader understands your purpose, your writing will have impact.
