 PRONOUNS
A pronoun is used to substitute or
replace a noun in a sentence. By
using pronouns, we avoid the
overuse of nouns.
 KINDS OF PRONOUNS
Personal Pronouns
They replace names of persons or
things.
EXAMPLES:
I, you, are, they, he, she, them, him, her,
me, and it
 KINDS OF PRONOUNS

clearly identified.

someone, something, few, many, others, all,
any, some, most

 CASES OF PRONOUNS
Nominative Case
A pronoun in the nominative case is used as
a subject or predicate nominative in the
sentence.
EXAMPLES:
I, we, you, they, he, she, and it.
 CASES OF PRONOUNS
Objective Case
The pronouns me, you, him, her, us, it, and them
are also called object pronouns. They function
as objects in sentences in three ways:
1. Direct Object – receiver of the action and answers the
question who or what.
2. Indirect Object – answers the question whom.
3. Object of the preposition – preceded by a preposition in a
prepositional phrase.
 CASES OF PRONOUNS
Possessive Case
The pronouns in the possessive case are
mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs.
Possessive pronouns replace possessive
nouns to show ownership.
