Pronouns

A pronoun is a word used in place of one noun or more than one noun.

Personal pronouns refer to the one speaking, the one spoken to, or the one spoken about. Singular (one) Plural (more than one) 1 st Person (talking about yourself) 2 nd Person (talking to someone) 3 rd Person (talking about someone) I, me, my, minewe, us, our, ours you, your, yours he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its they, them, their, theirs

A reflexive pronoun refers to the subject and directs the action of the verb back to the subject. Singular (one) Plural (more than one) 1 st Person (talking about yourself) 2 nd Person (talking to someone) 3 rd Person (talking about someone) myselfourselves yourself yourselves himself, herself, itself themselves

Possessive Pronouns are personal pronouns that are used to show ownership. Singular (one) Plural (more than one) 1 st Person (talking about yourself) 2 nd Person (talking to someone) 3 rd Person (talking about someone) my, mineour, ours your, yours her, hers, his, itstheir, theirs

A demonstrative pronoun points out a specific person, place, thing, or idea This, that, these, those Examples: Listen to this.(This is a demonstrative pronoun.) Listen to this song. (This is not a demonstrative pronoun. It is an adjective.)

An indefinite pronoun does not refer to a definite person, place, thing or idea. all, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, few, many, more, much, neither, nobody, none, no one, one, other, several, some, somebody, something

Pronouns should always agree in number. If the pronoun replaces a singular noun, you have to use a singular pronoun. If the pronoun replaces a plural noun you have to use a plural pronoun. Example: If a person parks a car on campus, he has to buy a parking pass. (Not they)

Pronouns should always agree in person. If you are writing in “first person” don’t confuse your reader by switching to “second person” (and vice versa). Example: When a person comes to class, he should have his homework ready. (Not you and your.)

Pronouns should refer clearly to a specific noun. The following sentences are vague and ambiguous pronoun references: Although the motorcycle hit the tree, it was not damaged. (The motorcycle or the tree?) I don’t think they should show violence on TV. (Who’re they?) Vacation is coming soon, which is nice. (The vacation or the fact that it is coming soon?) If you put this sheet in your notebook, you can refer to it. (The sheet or the notebook?)
