2. pronoun
Pronoun is the grammatical
category that denotes
a thing, person, without
naming, denoting, in
turn, grammatical persons.
Pronouns can be
personal, possessive, relative, inte
rrogative and indefinite.
3. Personal pronouns are used
to designate the people and take
different forms depending on the
trade (subject, direct object, indirect
object or
complement circumstantial) that
play in the
sentence. English personal
pronouns take the following forms.
4. Singular
I-Yo(ai)
You-
Tú,Usted(iu)
He-Él(ji)
She-Ellas(shi)
It-(It refers to the abundant nouns have no real sex-
pencil, pen, or impersonal verbs. When acting as a
subject usually not translated into Spanish.).
6. A personal pronoun refers to a person or thing and
changes its form to
indicate person, number, gender and case.
Subjective personal pronouns.
A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the
pronoun acts as a subject of prayer. Are
subjective personal pronouns "I," "you," "she," "he,"
"she," "we," "you", "them".
example:
I was glad to find tickets in the backpack
of Luis, he had saved.
7. An objective personal pronoun indicates that the
pronoun is acting as an object of a verb, compound
verb, preposition, or infinitive phrase. The
objective personal pronouns are "I", "you," "she," "he," "she,"
"us", "you" and "them".
Example:
Christopher was talking while he was working.
8. A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun acts as a marker of
possession and defines who owns a particular object or
person. The possessive pronouns are "mine" "yours," "your,"
"your", "their", "our" and "them". Note that possessive personal
pronouns are very similar to possessive adjectives like "my," "she" and
"your".
In each of the following sentences, the highlighted word is a
possessive personal pronoun:
The smallest gift is mine.
Here the possessive pronoun "mine" functions as a subject
complement.
9.
A demonstrative pronoun points to and identifies a noun or
pronoun. "This" and "these" refer to things that are close in space
or time, while the "what" and "that" refer to things that are farther
away in space or time.
The demonstrative pronouns are "this", "what", "these" and
"them". "East" and "who" used to refer to singular nouns or noun
phrases and "these" and "who" used to refer to plural nouns and
noun phrases. Note that the demonstrative pronouns are identical
to demonstrative adjectives, but obviously that use them
differently. It is also important to note that "it" can also be used as
a relative pronoun.
example:
This must not continue.
Here "this" is used as the subject of the compound verb "must not
continue."
10.
An interrogative pronoun is used to ask questions. The
interrogative pronouns are "who," "who," "to," "what" and the
compounds formed with the suffix "ever"
("who", "who","whatever", and "whatever" ). Note that it
is "that" or "what" can also be used as
an interrogative adjective, and "who", "who" or "that" can also
be used as a relative pronoun.
You will find "who", "who" and occasionally "which" is used to
refer to people, and "what" and "what" is used to refer to things
and animals.
"Who" acts as the subject of a verb, while "which" acts as the object
of a verb, preposition, or verbal.
They want to see the dentist for the first time?
"What" is the subject of the sentence.
11. A relative pronoun is used to link one phrase or clause to
another phrase or clause. The relative pronouns are
"who", "who", "it", and "that". Compounds of "who", "who" and
"what" are also relative pronouns.
You can use the relative pronoun "who" and "who" to refer to
the subject of a clause or sentence, and "who" and "who" to
refer to objects of a verb, a verb or preposition.
example:
You can invite who likes to party.
The relative pronoun "who" is the direct object of
the compound verb "may invite".
12. An indefinite pronoun refers to an identifiable individual, but it
is not specified or thing. An indefinite pronoun conveys the
idea of all, some, none, or few.
The most common indefinite
pronouns are "all", "other", "any", "no", "no", "no", "every one", "
everyone", "all", "all" "a few "" many "," no "," none "," a ","
several "," some "," someone ", and" someone ". Note
that some indefinite pronouns can also be used as
adjectives indefinite.
example:
Many were invited to dinner, but only twelve showed up.
Here "many" acts as the subject of compound verb "were
invited."
13. You can use a reflexive pronoun to refer back to the
subject of the clause or sentence.
Reflexive pronouns are
"I", "yourself", "yes", "self", "self", "us", "you"
and "themselves". Consider each of these can also act
as an intensive pronoun.
example:
Diabetics give themselves insulin shots several times
a day.
14. An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used to
emphasize its antecedent. Intensive pronouns are
identical in form to reflexive pronouns.
The highlighted words in the following
sentences are intensive pronouns:
I myself believe that aliens should abduct my sister.
The Prime Minister said he would lower taxes.
They promised to come to the party even though he
had a final exam at the same time.
