Personal Pronouns

Os Personal Pronouns equivalem em português ao que chamamos de Pronomes Pessoais. Eles se dividem em:

SUBJECT PRONOUNS que são usados quando expressam o sujeito da oração ou quando estão completando o verbo TO BE (uso formal).
Equivalem em português aos Pronomes Pessoais do Caso Reto. Geralmente se posicionam antes do verbo.

I (Eu)

You (Tu/Você)

He (Ele)

She (Ela)

It (Ele ou Ela, usados para objetos e animais)

We (Nós)

You( Vós/Vocês)

They (Eles/Elas)

Ex.: Frederic and I go to school every day.

Usos Especiais para HE; SHE; IT

He: Animais de estimação

Ex.: My dog is named Tom. He is black.

She: Animais de estimação

Ex.: My mare (égua) eats a lot. She is getting fat.

Carro, avião, navio e locomotiva (Quando se quer demonstrar afeição.

Ex.:My car is parked in front of the church. She is out of order.

Cidades e países (Sentido formal)

Brazil has done what she promised to do.

Object Pronouns

São usados quando expressam a função de objeto de verbo (objeto direto ou indireto). Equivalem em português ao Pronomes Pessoais do
Caso Oblíquo. Geralmente se posicionam após o verbo.
Objective Pronouns (Pronome objeto) – É usado como objeto direto ou indireto.

Ex.: Fabiana loves him.

Também é usado como objeto de preposição.

Ex.: I talked to her .

Orações com dois objetos.

Daniel gave me flowers. –Enfatiza objeto direto.

Daniel gave flowers to me – Enfatiza o objeto indireto.

Me (me, mim)

You (lhe,o,a,te,ti,a você)

Him (o, lhe, a ele )

Her (a,lhe, a ela )

It (o, a, lhe)

Us (nos)

You (vos, lhes,a vocês)

Them (os, as, lhes, eles/ elas)

Usos especiais de HIM; HER; IT (seguem o mesmo raciocínio dos Subjective Pronouns)

Reflexive Pronouns

Os pronomes reflexivos são usados para indicar uma ação que recai sobre o próprio sujeito,neste caso o verbo antecede o o pronome e
concorda com o sujeito.

Ex.:They hurt themselves .

Como vemos o sujeito e o objeto são a(s) mesma(s) pessoa(s).

Precedidos da preposição BY, os reflexivos significam “sozinhos”, "sem ajuda".

I do the exercises by myself.

Quando junto ao sujeito ou ao final da oração, não como objeto, os pronomes são chamados de Enfáticos, e como o nome já diz, são usados
para dar ênfase.
I myself won the game.

Myself me,mesmo(a),próprio(a),(a)mim mesmo(a)

Yourself

te,ti,mesmo(a),próprio(a),(a)ti mesmo(a),(a) você mesmo(a)

Himself

se,si,mesmo/próprio,(a)si/ele próprio

Herself

se,si mesma/própria,(a)si/ela própria

Itself se,si,mesmo(a)/próprio(a),(a)si/ele(a) próprio(a)

Ourselves nos,mesmos(as),próprios(as),(a) nós mesmos(as)

Yourselves vos,mesmos(as),próprios(as),(a)vós mesmos(as)

Themselves se,si,mesmos(as),próprios(as),a eles(as) mesmos(as)

Ex. I cut myself.

I myself kissed Brad Pitt.

We killed the monster ourselves.

Possessive Adjective e Possessive Pronouns

Os pronomes possessivos em português correspondem a duas classes de palavras diferentes em inglês - adjetivos possessivos (possessive
adjectives) e pronomes possessivos (possessive pronouns).

Os adjetivos possessivos são usados sempre antes e com substantivos, enquanto os pronomes possessivos são usados sem substantivos,
motivo pelo qual recebem um s.

Possessive Adjectives

Os adjetivos possessivos (ou possessive adjectives) servem para dizer que alguma pessoa tem posse (ou está com) alguma coisa. São
equivalentes aos “meus, seus, deles, ..." do português. Eles sempre virão antes do objeto possuído, e não tem distinção de gêneros ou
quantidade.

My house is big (Minha casa é grande)

Her house is big too (A casa dela é grande também)

His car is crashed (O carro dele está quebrado)

Possessive Pronouns

Pronomes possessivos: mine, yours, etc.

Evitam a repetição de um substantivo.

That car is mine!

Concordam com o possuidor e não com o objeto possuído.

She has a dog. Her dog is black.

Nunca são usados com artigo.

My dog = o meu cachorro; mine = o meu.

Os possessive pronouns vêm no lugar dos substantivos. Os possessive adjectives precedem os substantivos.

But my dog is white. Mine is white.

Possuidor Possessive Adjectives Possessive Pronouns

I  my car (s)  mine

You your ticket (s) yours

He his pen (s) his
She her book (s) hers
It its name (s) ----
We our friend (s) ours
You your pencil (s) yours
They their cat (s) theirs

• Os possessive pronouns podem ser usados em construções com of.

Sylvia and Claudia are good friends of ours. (A Sylvia e a Claudia são amigas nossas.)

Let me introduce you a friend of mine.(Deixe-me apresentar-lhe um amigo meu.)

I would like to read some poems of yours. Gostaria de ler uns poemas seus.

• O s no final de "yours", "hers", "its", "ours" e "theirs" não indica plural. Em inglês, os pronomes possessivos têm a mesma forma no
singular e no plural.

This is her car. - This car is hers.

These are her cars. - These cars are hers.

• Em inglês, nunca se usa artigo (the, a, an) na frente dos pronomes possessivos.

O carro do José e da Maria são parecidos, mas o dela é azul claro.João's and Maria's car are similar, but hers is light blue. (e não the
hers ou the her)

Meus poemas são bons, mas não como os dele.My poems are good, but not like his. (e não the his)
