Pronouns Language Arts-8

Personal Pronouns  A personal pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or another pronoun.

Personal Pronouns  Personal pronouns are used to refer to nouns that name people or things.

Look at the following examples:  Jane put on Jane’s boots. Then Jane went hiking. (awkward)  Jane put on her boots. Then she went hiking. (improved)

Note  Did you notice how the personal pronoun her helps the writer avoid repeating the same noun? Also notice how the pronoun she acts as a bridge to connect the two sentences. Jane put on her boots. Then she went hiking.

In Writing  You should use personal pronouns to make your writing concise, but first you must understand how they are classified.

By Person  Pronouns are classified by person:

Personal Pronouns First Person I,my,me,we, our,us Refers to the person(s) speaking. Second Person you,your, yours Refer to the person(s) spoken to. Third Person he,his,him,she, hers,her,it,its,th ey,their,them Refer to some other person(s) or thing(s) that is being spoken of.

Identify the pronoun and tell what person (1 st,2 nd,3 rd ) the pronoun is 1) She is my favorite singer. 2) My dog is a pitbull. 3) I am going shopping this weekend. 4) We should have a birthday party for the class. 5) You really need to pay attention.

Pronouns are Classified by Gender PPronouns in the masculine gender refer to male people. PPronouns in the feminine gender refer to female people. PPronouns in the neuter gender refer to animals or things.
