PARTS OF SPEECH LESSON. 4 In last 3 Lessons we discussed on Noun and its types. In todays lesson I will tell you about Pronoun. PRONOUN. A word which is used instead of noun or replaces noun is called Pronoun. You use pronouns like he, which, none, and you to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive. Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun. 1) Personal Pronouns . A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender, and case. 2) Subjective Personal Pronouns . A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are I, you, she, he, it, we, you, they. For Example. - I was glad to find the bus pass in the bottom of the green knapsack. In above given example I is Subjective Personal Pronoun. 3) Objective Personal Pronouns 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: me, you, her, him, it, us, you, and them. For Example. - 1. Seamus stole the selkies skin and forced her to live with him. In above given example her & him are Objective Personal Pronouns. The objective personal pronoun her is the direct object of the verb forced and the objective personal pronoun him is the object of the preposition with. - 2. After reading the pamphlet, Judy threw it into the garbage can. The pronoun it is the direct object of the verb threw. In next lesson we will discuss on other types of Pronouns.
