Mini-Lessons: Types of Pronouns Personal, Possessive, Interrogative, Demonstrative, Reflexive, and Indefinite

What is a Pronoun? A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or another pronoun. Like a noun, a pronoun can refer to a person, place, thing, or idea. The word that a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent. For Example: Maria was lost. She didn’t panic. She checked the flashlight. It still worked.

List of Personal Pronouns… Type of Pronoun Subject Object Possessive Singular First Person Second Person Third Person   I you he, she, it me him, her, it my, mine your, yours his, her, hers, its Plural we they us them our, ours their, theirs

What is a Possessive Pronoun? A possessive pronoun is a personal pronoun used to show ownership or relationship. Singular Plural my, mine your, yours her, hers, his, its our, ours their, theirs  

To be continued… The possessive pronouns my, your, her, his, its, our, and their come before nouns. For Example: The dog pricked up its little ears. (ownership) It saw the boy and heard his loud cry for help. (relationship) The owner and his best friend came to the rescue. (relationship)

Pronouns can be tricky!!! Some possessive pronouns sound like contractions (its/it’s, your/you’re, their/they’re). Remember, a possessive pronoun never has an apostrophe. A contraction, however, always has an apostrophe.

How about a Quick Review? Directions: Choose one of the following to complete. You can also challenge yourself by completing all 3!!! In your own words, write the definition of a pronoun, personal pronoun, and possessive pronoun. Write sentences (compound, complex, and compound- complex) using a pronoun, personal pronoun, and possessive pronoun. Use a text to find examples of pronouns, personal pronouns, and possessive pronouns. Record your examples.

Reflection… If you completed 1 task, complete the following: -Which task did you select and why? -Were you able to complete the task successfully? -Is there anything about pronouns you need to learn more about? If you completed all 3 tasks, complete the following: -Were you able to complete all 3 tasks successfully? Explain.

What is an Interrogative Pronoun? An interrogative pronoun is used to introduce a question. The interrogative pronouns are who, whom, what, which, and whose. For Example: Who used up all the water? Whose cup is this?

Who is who and what is whom? Who is always used as a subject or a predicate pronoun. For Example: Subject: Who called the power company? Predicate Pronoun: The electrician is who? Whom is always used as an object. Direct Object: Whom did you call? Indirect Object: You gave whom my number? Object of the Preposition: To whom did you speak?

Check for understanding… Directions: Complete each sentence with who or whom. 1. _____ told you about our plans? 2. The person _____ I called is my sister? 3. _____ did Armando send for? 4. _____ are those women? 5. _____ have the people elected?

Check your work… 1. Who told you about our plans? 2. The person whom I called is my sister. 3. Whom did Armando send for? 4. Who are those women? 5. Whom have the people elected? Reflect: Which sentence(s) did you miss? What do you notice about these sentence(s)? If you did not make a 100%, what can you do to improve your score?

What is a Demonstrative Pronoun? A demonstrative pronoun points out a person, place, thing, or idea. The demonstrative pronouns-this, that, these, and those-are used alone in sentences. For Example: That is a circuit breaker. This is our emergency shelter. Those are electrical appliances. These are bottles of water.

Are you far sighted or near sighted? This and these point out people or things that are near. That and those point out people or things that are far away. Never use here or there with a demonstrative pronoun. The pronoun already tells which one or ones.

What is a Reflexive Pronoun? A pronoun that ends in self or selves is a reflexive pronoun: myself, ourselves, yourself, yourselves, herself, himself, itself, and themselves. A reflexive pronoun refers to the subject and directs the action of the verb back to the subject. A reflexive pronoun is always an object (never a subject) in a sentence. Reflexive pronouns are necessary to the meaning of a sentence. For Example: The Carson family tried to lift themselves out of poverty. Ben Carson dedicated himself to becoming a doctor.

Check for understanding… Directions: Identify the reflexive pronoun in each sentence. To challenge yourself, identify the reflexive pronoun as the direct object, indirect object, or object of the preposition. A chameleon can give itself tasty meals of unsuspecting insects. I wish I could claim some of its amazing powers for myself. A chameleon protects itself from danger by changing colors.

Check your work… A chameleon can give itself tasty meals of unsuspecting insects. (indirect object) I wish I could claim some of its amazing powers for myself. (object of the preposition) A chameleon protects itself from danger by changing colors. (direct object) Reflect: Which sentence(s) did you miss? Were you able to identify the reflexive pronoun and the type of object in each sentence? If you did not make a 100%, what can you do to improve your score?

What is an Indefinite Pronoun? An indefinite pronoun does not refer to a specific person, place, thing, or idea. Indefinite pronouns often do not have antecedents. For Example: Nothing lasts forever. Anyone can make a time capsule.

List of Indefinite Pronouns… Singular Plural Singular or Plural another much anybody neither anyone nobody anything no one each nothing either one everybody somebody everyone someone everything something both few many several all any most none some

Check for understanding… Directions: Identify the indefinite pronoun in each sentence. Then select one sentence to use as a topic sentence or detail sentence and write a paragraph. Both worked hard. Let each help decorate. Several have called about the job. Everyone was delighted at our party. I think someone forgot this sweater. Has anyone seen my wallet? One is absent.

Check your work… Both worked hard. Let each help decorate. Several have called about the job. Everyone was delighted at our party. I think someone forgot this sweater. Has anyone seen my wallet? One is absent. Reflect: Which sentence(s) did you miss? What do you notice about the sentences you missed? If you did not make a 100%, what can you do to improve your score?

Almost Done Performance Tasks… Select one of the following performance tasks to complete. The performance task must highlight personal, possessive, interrogative, demonstrative, reflexive, and indefinite pronouns. If you have your own idea, present it to your teacher for approval. Creativity is unlimited!!! Create a picture storybook on the types of pronouns. Create an assessment on pronouns. Your assessment must have various types of questions (multiple choice, essay, fill in the blank, etc.) Create a cartoon, monologue, play, poem, or rap about the types of pronouns. Create a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the types of pronouns. Create an interactive activity/game on the types of pronouns. Create a webpage/website about the types of pronouns. Create a study guide about the types of pronouns.
