1 Unit 4 Week 2 Introducing Kinds of Pronouns

2 Kinds of Pronouns

3 DAY 1 Subject pronouns ( e.g. I, you, he, it, she, they) are subjects of sentences. He rode to the park. Object pronouns (e.g. me, you, her, him, us, them) are objects of verbs or prepositions. Kenya went to town with her. Reflexive pronouns (e.g. myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself) match the subject. Sue made herself a meal. Reciprocal pronouns (one another; each other) give and receive action. They saw one another. Intensive pronouns emphasizes their antecedents. Sue herself made it.

4 USES OF SUBJECT AND OBJECT PRONOUNS

5 DAY 2  Use subjective case for pronouns that follow a linking verb. These pronouns are sometimes called predicate nominatives. Subject pronouns express subjective case. The winner was I. The strongest are we.  Use objective case for direct and indirect objects as well as for objects of a preposition. Object pronouns express objective case. Yolanda thanked me. Max gave him a pencil. Eve spoke to her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUIL5mFH5y4

6 Mechanics and Usage: Proper Use of Pronouns

7 DAY 3  Use a subject pronoun when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence or clause; use an object pronoun when the pronoun is the object of the verb or preposition.  Use the correct form of a reflexive pronoun: himself not hisself; ourselves not ourself.  Use a reciprocal pronoun to show giving and receiving an action. People helped each other.  Use an intensive pronoun to emphasize an antecedent. Ann herself drew the picture.
