A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
A pronoun functions that same as a noun in a sentence, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it. Pronouns help sentences flow more smoothly and make them easier to say.
The most commonly used pronoun is a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.
The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.
Examples:
Jack is coming for lunch. He should be here by noon.
Jill is coming for lunch. She will bring the baby with her.
Jack and Jill are coming for lunch. They are expected at noon.
Jack and Jill are coming for lunch and bringing the baby with them.
I got the old highchair out of the garage. It is for the baby.
The pronoun "He" in the sentence is a personal pronoun, specifically a subject pronoun. It is used to refer to a specific person (in this case, a male) who is the subject of the sentence.
The subject pronoun is typically found at the beginning of a sentence, before the verb. It is used to indicate who or what is performing the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "She is reading a book," "she" is the subject pronoun.
We is a subject pronoun, it is used as the subject of a sentence or clause. The object pronoun is us, used as the object of the verb or a preposition.Examples:We can go to the movies.Mother called us.
No, "that" is a pronoun in the sentence "Where did you get that." It is functioning as the object of the verb "get."
A subject pronoun is a type of pronoun that replaces a noun as the subject of a sentence. Subject pronouns include words like "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they."
The pronoun "He" in the sentence is a personal pronoun, specifically a subject pronoun. It is used to refer to a specific person (in this case, a male) who is the subject of the sentence.
The pronouns in the sentence are it and nobody.The pronoun 'it' is a personal pronoun.The pronoun 'nobody' is an indefinite pronoun.
The subject pronoun is typically found at the beginning of a sentence, before the verb. It is used to indicate who or what is performing the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "She is reading a book," "she" is the subject pronoun.
We is a subject pronoun, it is used as the subject of a sentence or clause. The object pronoun is us, used as the object of the verb or a preposition.Examples:We can go to the movies.Mother called us.
There is no pronoun used as an object. The pronoun 'you' is used twice in the sentence. The pronoun 'you' can be a subject or an object pronoun. The first 'you' is the subject pronoun, the subject of the sentence. The second 'you' is the subject of the noun clause 'what you expected to see'; the clause is the object of the sentence but the word you is the subject of that clause.
The pronoun in the sentence is "you," used as the subject pronoun.
No, the pronoun 'himself' is a reflexive pronoun used to 'reflect back' to the subject in a sentence. Example: Dad made himself some breakfast. The pronoun 'himself' is also a intensive pronoun used to emphasize its noun antecedent. Example: Dad himself made breakfast. Even when the pronoun is the first word in a sentence, it is not the subject of the sentence. Example: Himself a cook, dad always makes breakfast. (reflexive use of the pronoun, the subject of the sentence is 'dad')
No, "that" is a pronoun in the sentence "Where did you get that." It is functioning as the object of the verb "get."
No, 'her' is an objective pronoun, used as the object of a sentence or phrase. 'She' is the subjective pronoun, used as the subject of a sentence or phrase. Example uses: Subject: She is my sister. Object: The book belongs to her.
Personal
The only pronoun in the sentence is it, but is used as the object of the preposition around. The pronoun itcan be a subjective or an objective pronoun.
A nominative case (subjective) pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause and as a predicate nominative.
