Pronoun

Pronoun is word for replacing Noun (People, Thing, Animal, and Abstract Thing)

There are Personal Pronoun, Possessive Pronoun, and others. But here we’re going to explain you about Personal Pronoun and Possessive Pronoun.

OK, now let’s start from Personal Pronoun. Personal Pronoun can be as Subject or Object.

Subject      Object

They              Them

We                 Us

You                You

I                    Me

She                Her

He                 Him

It                   It

Subject is doer of the activity and Object is person or thing that is subjected by the doer.

Let’s make it clear by providing some sentences.

- Dee is my friend. He is a friendly man

- I gave him a present in his birthday.

Note:

- He in the first sentence is Pronoun of Dee as subject. And

- Him in the second one is pronoun as object.

And Possessive Pronoun. Possessive Pronoun is used to show possession and replace the thing at once. So when we show possession using Possessive Pronoun we no need mention the name of the Possession.

Subject     Possessive Pronoun

They             Theirs

We                Ours

You               Yours

I                   Mine

She               Hers

He                His

It                  -

Example in sentences:

- This notebook is mine.

- I borrowed her English book. Hers is blue.

Note:

- Mine is possessive pronoun replacing this notebook.

- Hers is also possessive pronoun replacing her English book.

- After Mine and Hers not followed by name of the possession.
