    WHAT IS PRONOUN
    Pronoun-
    a word we used instead of a noun.
    Pronouns are words like-
    I, His, Her, This, That, Someone

    Personal Pronouns
    Personal pronouns are used for a specific person or object. We have three cases within
    personal pronouns

    Subjective case: What, or who the sentence is about.


    Objective case: What, or who is receiving the action in the sentence.
    Possessive case: Who the object belongs to in the sentence.
    Example:
    Can you help me wash her car?

    Demonstrative Pronouns
    They are used to show one or more nouns that might be far or near in distance and time.
    Those, These, This, That
    Example:
    Q 1.Which ball do you want?
    Ans: That one!
    Interrogative pronouns
    are just question words, we use them to ask question about the noun where referring to.
    Who, What, Why, Which, Where
    Example:
    Which ball is yours?

    Relative Pronouns
    Relative pronouns are used to connect clauses together
    Who, Which, Whom, Whose, That
    Example:
    My friend's who are very happy.

    Indefinite pronouns
    Indefinite pronouns are used when referring to things that are unspecified.
    Somebody, Anyone, Many, Nothing, Nowhere
    Example:
    Anybody could have done it.

    Reciprocal pronouns
    Reciprocal pronouns are pronouns we use when a group of nouns are doing the same thing.
    Each other, One another
    Example:
    The gave each other gifts.

    Reflexive & Intensive pronoun


    Reflexive & Intensive pronouns are used when showing a noun which has been used in an
    earlier part of the sentence.
    These types of pronouns end with -self, or -selves, and include the words yourself, myself,
    herself, and himself.

    A reflexive pronoun is a key part of the sentence and refers to the subject in the sentence.
    Example:
    I made coffee for myself

    Intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the sentence.


    Example:
    The man himself came through the door.

    The Agreements of Pronoun and Antecedent


    An antecedent is the word (or words) that a pronoun refers to.

    In Latin, The word antecedent means " to go before


    It gets its name from the idea that a pronoun refers to something previously mentioned in the
    sentence.
    Example:
    When you see the teacher, please tell her I'll be ten minutes late to class.
    Antecedent Pronoun

    1. Personal pronouns (he, she, it, they, his, her, its, their) agree in gender and number with the
    nouns they refer.
    Example:
    Mr. Obeal discusses the topic to his students.

    2. Two or more singular antecedents joined by 'or' or 'nor' require a singular pronoun.
    Example:
    Either Isabelle or Jake will deliver his piece tomorrow.

    3. For collective nouns, the pronouns may be singular or plural according to whether the nouns
    are taken as a unit or as individuals composing the whole. If the collective noun is taken as a
    unit, the pronoun is singular. If the individuals are thought separately, the pronoun must be
    plural.
    Example:
    The class donated its funds to Bantay Bata Foundation.
    The class argued their issues among themselves.

    4. Who, Whose, and Whom -would refer to person(s)


    Which-would refer to animal(s), or thing(s).
    What-would refer to things only.
    Example:
    I am one of the students who fought against hunger.

    5. When each, every, either, neither, someone, somebody, any one, anybody, everyone,
    everybody, no one are used as antecedents, the pronouns refening to them are singular When
    the antecedent is either masculine or feminine, the pronoun must be masculine.
    Example:
    Everyone is required to speak his mind.
    Somebody forgot his manners at home.

    6.When one antecedent is singular, the other is plural, make your pronoun agree with the
    nearer antecedent.
    Example:
    Neither the boys nor his classmate spoke of his concerns.
    Either Jenny or the Reyeses will hold their political rally.

    7. When two or more antecedent are joined by 'and', the pronoun must be plural.
    Example:
    Minda and Linda brought their A-games to the competition.
    Allyssa Juridico Lawa BEED-3
