    VERY IMPORTANT NEWS

    Pronouns
    are
    NOT
    nouns.
    Example:
    Halloween is one of
    America's holidays. It is
    celebrated in October.
    (Halloween is a noun. It
    is a pronoun that refers
    to the antecedent,
    Halloween.)
    Example:
    When Robert was fixing
    the car, he cut his hand.
    (Robert is a noun. He is a
    pronoun that refers to the
    antecedent, Robert.)
    Personal Pronouns
    Refer to people or things
    Include: I, me, my,
    mine, you, your, yours,
    he, him, his, she, her,
    hers, it, its, they, them, ME!
    their, theirs, we, us,
    our, ours.
    Demonstrative Pronouns
     A demonstrative pronoun
    represents a thing or things:
     near in distance or time (this,
    these)
     far in distance or time (that,
    those)
     THERE ARE ONLY FOUR OF THESE!
    Interrogative Pronouns
     Is a pronoun used in order to ask
    a question. Often it has no
    antecedent because the
    antecedent is unknown. That is
    why the question is being asked!
     what, which, who, whom, and
    whose
     There are only FIVE of these!
