Pronouns: By Ms. Arlene Opina
A pronoun is often defined as a word, which can be used instead of a noun. We use pronouns so that we do not keep on repeating a noun. Ex. The marvelous feature of the internet is that nobody really controls it; nobody really owns it; and nobody can at a click turn the internet off.
2
3 Cases of Pronouns 1. Personal pronoun.
Nominative - This pronoun is used as subject or complement in the sentence. “They meet in cybrary 2 during their free time.” (subject) “It is she who always supports you.” (complement) not “It is her…” “It is me”, however, is only acceptable in informal communication.

Objective - This is used as the. object of the verb or of the
Objective - This is used as the object of the verb or of the preposition Ex. The use of computers in education has enabled them to experience the vast field of knowledge, which the older generation, perhaps, may no longer see.
4
Possessive (also possessive adjective). This indicates ownership.
That book is his. (possessive pronoun) That is the book of my father. (Possessive adjective) Possessive pronouns can stand by themselves without nouns, but possessive adjectives, like other adjectives, are used together with nouns.
5
Intensive or reflexive pronoun. intensifies or emphasizes
Intensive or reflexive pronoun intensifies or emphasizes the noun that it comes after. Ex. I myself saw him. She saw herself in the mirror.

Interrogative pronouns (who, which, what, why,) are used for asking questions Ex. Who did this? What have you done to her?

Note: Who is used to refer to persons Which is used for things
Relative pronouns (who, which, what, that) are used in complex sentences. They relate or connect a clause (dependent clause) to its antecedent. A relative pronoun has a case but there is no form distinctive of gender or number. The choice of pronoun is determined in part by its antecedent. Ex. The internet, which was not even conceivable in earlier technologies is making a million things possible now. You should bring the book that you love most. Hector is a photographer who does great work. Note: Who is used to refer to persons Which is used for things That is used in reference to either persons or things

Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) point out or identify. Ex. Those were the computers we used in our virtual class . This is the way towards the Nursing classes.
