WHAT ARE PRONOUNS

A pronoun is a word used in
place of a noun.

          Jill will ask Jill’s father for permission.
          Jill will ask her father for permission.
The pronoun ‘her’ is used in
place of the noun ‘Jill’.
SINGULAR PRONOUNS :
I                  my, mine              me
You            your, yours          you
He               his                        him
She             her, hers               her
It                 its                        
PLURAL PRONOUNS :

USING SUBJECT PRONOUNS
The following pronouns are
subject pronouns.
          Singular:  I,   you,   
he,    she,   it.
          Plural:     we,     you,      they
Subject pronouns are used as
the subject of a sentence.  If you are
unsure about what pronoun to use in a compound subject, try dividing the
compound subject into two parts.
          Example:  Sandra and
I made tuna sandwich.
                         Sandra
made tuna sandwich.
                          I made tuna sandwich.
Only a subject pronoun can be
used after a state-of-being verb.
          Example:   The
preachers were Bob and Tom.
                           The
manager is he.
Note:  The pronoun “us” cannot be used as a subject
or with a noun that is the subject.
          Example:   Us boys
are going swimming. (Incorrect)
                           We
boys are going swimming. (Correct)
