Pronouns
  • 6th grade Language Arts

Pronouns
  • Takes the place of a noun
  • Replace a noun with a pronoun to avoid using the
    same nouns over and over and over and over

Personal Pronouns
  • Singular Subject Pronouns I, You, He, She, It
  • Plural Subject Pronouns We, You, They
  • Singular Object Pronouns me, you, him, her, it
  • Plural Object Pronouns us, you, them
  • -If a personal pronoun is used at the beginning
    of a sentence, it is called a SUBJECT pronoun
    (Also called nominative case)
  • -If a personal pronoun is used later in the
    sentence as the object of another word, it is an
    OBJECT pronoun. Also called objective case.

Possessive Pronouns
  • Just like possessive nouns, these show ownership
    of something else.
  • (my, mine, his, hers, its (no apostrophe here!)
    your, yours, their, theirs, our, ours, etc

Reflexive Pronouns
  • This is a pronoun that REFLECTS the subject. It
    ALWAYS ends with -self or -selves.
  • ex. When I looked in the mirror, I saw myself.

Demonstrative Pronouns
  • Now we sing
  • Demonstrative, Demonstrative
  • There are only 4
  • This and that, these and those,
  • Believe me, there are no more!
  • (These are used by themselves not followed by a
    nounsee?)

Indefinite Pronouns
  • These refer to a nonspecific person, place, thing
    or idea.
  • --both, anybody, someone, anyone, either, each,
    etc.--

9
Interrogative Pronouns
  • The question words, if the answer is a thing!
  • (Who, Which, Where, When, What)
  • These stand in for nouns you want to know the
    answer to
  • Who stole my cookie?
  • What is that?
  • Which is my ducky?

10
Pronouns and Antecedents
  • The noun that the pronoun replaces or refers to
    is called the antecedent.
  • The bus lost its tire. (its refers to the bus,
    so bus is the antecedent)
  • Marias mom wanted her to call. (who is her?
    Maria is the antecedent for her)
