Antecedents of Subject Pronouns

He is used in place of a noun for a male person.

She is used in place of a noun for a female person.
It is used in place of a noun for a thing.
They is used in place of several person, places, or things.
The word or words that a pronoun stands for are its antecedent or
reference.
Pronouns must agree with their antecedent to determine the correct
pronoun to use , you must identify its noun antecedent. The pronoun and
the antecedent must agree in person, number, and gender.

Columns 2, 3, and 4 present the features of the noun antecedent each
subject pronoun replaces.
Just like nouns, pronouns can also be the receiver of the action of the verb.
-

The queen mother handed the scepter to the prince. She handed it
solemnly to her son who was going to be a king.
In these sentences, the verb is handed. The receiver or object of the
action is scepter.
Scepter is the noun object. It is the pronoun object. Scepter and it are
receivers of the action of the verb handed.
Pronouns used as objects or the receiver of the action of the verb are
called object pronouns.

Indefinite Pronouns

Second Person (person You

Third person (person
Him, her, it
them
spoken of)
Like subject pronouns, object pronouns agree with their antecedents in
person, number, and gender.
An object pronoun always comes after an action verb.
Examples:
- The princess gave me an autographed picture.
- The king sent him a copy of the decree.
- The prime minister made him the chief-of-staff.
- The lady showed it to the visitors.
Pronouns that do not refer to particular persons, places, or things are
called indefinite pronouns.
Example:
Someone
Everything
all
Somebody
several
nothing
Nobody
SomeAnyNoEvery-body
Somebody
Anybody
Nobody
Everybody
-one
Someone
Anyone
No one
Everyone
-thing
Something
Anything
Nothing
Everything
Indefinite pronouns occur as compound forms and the given indefinite
pronouns above go with singular or s form of the verb.
Examples:
- Someone is knocking at my door.
- Something scrapes its feet on the floor.
- But nobody answers.
- Nothing moves.

The pronouns in set 1 go with s or singular form of verbs. Those in set 2
are plural indefinite pronouns. They go with the plural or base form of
verbs. Either singular or plural verbs go with the indefinite pronouns in set
3.
Example:
- The class of Mr. Lim is invited to present an intermission number at
the program. Everyone prepares for the occasion. One volunteers
to sing. Others want to recite poems. Many want to dance. But
some refer to present a skit. Several volunteered to do a choral
recitation of the The Congo. All are excited indeed. But none can
dance ballet.
Pronouns can also be used to show ownership. These pronouns are called
possessive pronouns. They replace possessive nouns.
Examples:
- The red bag on the table belongs to me
o The red bag on the table is mine.
- The baseball and bat are Edwards.
o The basketball is his, too.

Possessive pronouns can be found at the beginning of the sentences.
Furthermore, they are not followed by nouns.

All the ribbons are ours.
This gift is yours. Mine is the other These gift boxes are yours.
one.
The book is his.
The equipment is theirs. They lent
it to us.
Hers are the pencils.

Page 6 of 15
Possessive pronouns can replace entire noun phrases. They can also
function as subjects or objects of sentences.
Examples:
A. Mike has a new pair of roller blades.
B. Really? Mine (subject) is rather old now.
A. Do you like Marys new bag?
B. I prefer yours (object)
There are forms that also express ownership like possessive pronouns.
However, they are followed by nouns.
Examples:
1. My raincoat was torn by the strong wind.
2. Your book was borrowed by Edwin.
3. Their piano lesson will start at five in the afternoon.
My, your, and their are called possessive determiners. Note that possessive
determiners are followed by nouns. Possessive pronouns are not.

The words what and who in the questions are pronouns. They are used in
asking questions. They are called interrogative pronouns.
These are the interrogative pronouns:
Who
whose
what
whom
which
Note how the interrogative pronouns are used:
1. Who owns the monkey?
2. What does the monkey sit on?
3. Whose face is lonely and old?
4. To whom is money given?
5. Which part of the monkeys body says, Im thinking of my home?

in distance from the speaker.

This and these are used with nouns near the speaker. That and those are
used with nouns that are away from the speaker.
There are some forms that look like demonstrative pronouns. But unlike
demonstrative pronouns, they come before nouns.
This flower was given to me by a friend.
These flowers were grown by me.
That Plant is a fruit-bearing plant.
Those plants do not bear fruits.
In the sentence above, this, that, these, and those are called
demonstrative determiners.
This and that are used before singular nouns.
These and those are used before plural nouns.
