Pronouns

Definition:
Pronouns are small words that take place of a noun. We use pronouns
instead of a noun to not repeat continuously the same noun.

Ex:
Do you like the president? I dont like the president. The
president is too pompous.

Do you like the president? I dont like him. He is too pompous.

Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. The interrogative pronoun represents the thing
that we dont know.

Person Who Whom

Thing What

Person Whose (Possessive)

Person / Thing How

Place Where

Time When

Note:
Whom is the correct form when the pronoun is the object of the verb, as in "Whom did you see?"
("I saw John.") However, in normal, spoken English we rarely use whom. Most native speakers
would say (or even write): "Who did you see?"
Pronouns

Interrogative Pronouns Examples

Who told you?
Whom did you tell?
What's happened?
What do you want?
Which came first?

Whose did you find?
How do you do?
How that machine works?
Where are you from?

Pronouns
Reflexive Pronouns
We use a reflexive pronoun when we want to refer back to the subject of the sentence
or clause. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).

Personal Pronoun Reflexive Pronoun

Singular I Myself

You Yourself

He / She / It Himself / Herself / Itself

Plural We Ourselves

You Yourselves

They Themselves
Pronouns

Why do you blame yourself?
John sent himself a copy. Mary sent herself a copy.
My dog hurt itself.
We blame ourselves.
Can you help yourselves?
They cannot look after themselves.

Note: Reflexive pronouns can also act as intensive pronouns, but the function and usage is
different. An intensive pronoun emphasizes its antecedent.

I made it myself.
The President himself promised to stop the war.
She spoke to me herself.
Pronouns
Reciprocal Pronouns
We use reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more subjects is acting in
the same way towards the other. For example, A is talking to B, and B is
talking to A.
Two or more people; things or groups involved.
Doing the same thing.

Reciprocal Pronouns

Pronouns
Relative Pronouns
A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a
"relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies.

Relative Pronouns Restrictive Clauses Nonrestrictive Clauses

Who People People
Whom People (Formal) People (Formal)
Whose People (Possessive) People
Which Things and animals Things
That People / Things and animals * Not used

* Most used in Restrictive Clauses. Omitting the relative pronoun is also very common in speech and writing.

Note:
Restrictive relative clauses distinguish one noun from another.
I know the woman who works at Jones & Roe.

Nonrestrictive relative clauses give extra information about a noun and are separated from that
noun by commas.
Sue Dunn, who works at Jones & Roe, won't wear a suit.

Pronouns Case
Pronouns (and nouns) in English display "case" according to their function in the
sentence. Their function can be:
Subjective (they act as the subject)
Objective (they act as the object)
Possessive (they show possession of something else)

subjective case objective case possessive case

personal pronouns singular 1st I me mine

2nd you you yours

3rd He Him His

She Her Hers
It It Its

plural 1st we us ours

2nd you you yours

3rd they them theirs

relative/interrogative pronouns who whom whose

whoever whomever

which/that/what which/that/what

indefinite pronouns everybody everybody everybody's

Pronouns Case
A problem of case: Mary and I or Mary and me?

Mary and I are delighted to be here today. (NOT Mary and me)
The letter was addressed to Mary and me. (NOT Mary and I)

In 1
Mary and I are subjects, which is why the pronoun takes the subjective case
("I").

In 2
Mary and I are objects, which is why the pronoun takes the objective case
("me").

An easy way to check the correct case is to try the sentence without Mary.
Would you say "I am delighted to be here" or "Me am delighted to be
here"? Would you say "The letter was addressed to me" or "The letter was
addressed to I"?
