Pronouns

Grammar

Activity 1:
Personal pronouns take the place of nouns. They can be the subject or object of the
sentence.

The pronouns I, you, he, she, it, we, they are used in the subject position.

The pronouns me, you, him, her, it, us, them are used in the object position.

Activity 2:
Possessive pronouns talk about things belonging to people or animals. They are:
mine, yours, his, here, its, theirs and ours.

Indefinite pronouns don’t stand for any particular person, place or thing, for
example: anyone, someone.

Demonstrative pronouns point out which one/ones you are talking about. They are
this, that, these and those.

Reciprocal pronouns tell you that each person in a group is doing the same thing to
the other person or persons, for example: each other, one another.

Read the sentence and identify the pronoun in bold print. Write the type of pronoun
on the line after the sentence. The first one is done for you.
