Content Summary

Types of Pronouns

Personal pronouns take the place of people or things. They can be either singular or plural,
depending on whether they refer to one or multiple nouns. There are two kinds of personal
pronouns: Subjective and objective. That is, they either act as the subject of the sentence or the
object of the sentence.

As the subject of a sentence, they are:  they

 I For example:
 you
 They went to the store.
 he
 I don't want to leave.
 she
 He runs a great shop in town.
 it
 You can't leave, either.
 we
As the object of the sentence, they are:  them

 me For example:
 you
 Please don't sit beside me.
 her
 Go talk to her.
 him
 Mary put the gift under it.
 it
 Don't look at them.
 us

Indefinite pronouns don't point to particular nouns. We use them when an object doesn't need to
be specifically identified. As such, it can remain indefinite. They include:

 few For example:

 everyone
 Most wealth is held by a select few.
 all
 Everyone is here already.
 some
 I don't have any paper napkins. Can
 anything
you bring some?
 nobody
 He's nobody.

Relative pronouns are used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. We often see
them when we need to add more information. They are:

 who
 whom
For example:
 which
 whoever  The driver who ran the stop sign was
 whomever careless.
 whichever  I don't know which pair of shoes you
 that want.
  Take whichever ones you want.  No, not that one.

Reflexive pronouns are similar to intensive pronouns. The difference between the two is that
intensive pronouns aren't essential to a sentence's meaning. Meanwhile, reflexive pronouns are.
Also, they're used when the subject and the object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing.
These pronouns end in -self or -selves. They are:

 myself
 yourself
 himself
 herself
 itself
 ourselves
 yourselves
 themselves

For example:

 I told myself not to spend all my money on new shoes.

 You're going to have to drive yourself to the restaurant today.

 We gave ourselves plenty of extra time.

 They bought themselves a new car.

Teaching strategies: Brainstorming, Read aloud, Sentence completion

Procedure:

Set 1: Teacher asks students to tap into prior knowledge to say what pronouns are.

Set 2: Teacher asks students to list the different types of pronouns that they know and give
examples of each.

Set 3: Teacher explains the difference among the pronouns, using sentence examples to
demonstrate usage.
Closure: Students demonstrate understanding by giving their own definitions of the pronouns
and using their own sentence examples.

Evaluation: Students complete a worksheet to complete sentences by inserting the appropriate

pronouns.
