PRONOUNS
 What is a Pronoun?
A pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that is used as a substitution for a noun or noun phrase, which is
known as the pronoun’s antecedent. Pronouns are short words and can do everything that nouns can do
and are one of the building blocks of a sentence. Common pronouns are he, she, you, me, I, we, us, this,
them, that. A pronoun can act as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, and more
and takes the place of any person, place, animal or thing. So, coffee becomes it, Barbara becomes she,
Jeremy becomes he, the team becomes they, and in a sentence, Barbara drinks a cup of coffee every
afternoon could become she drinks a cup of it every afternoon, or even she drinks it every afternoon, where
the it would substitute the cup of coffee, not just the coffee.
Without pronouns, we’d constantly have to repeat nouns, and that would make our speech and writing
repetitive, not to mention cumbersome. Without pronouns, Barbara drinks a cup of coffee every
afternoon, she likes to have it before dinner would be Barbara drinks a cup of coffee every
afternoon, Barbara likes to have the cup of coffee before dinner. Using pronouns helps the flow of sentences
and makes them more interesting.

He/It/You/I/They/We/Who/Him/Them/Whoever/Anyone/Something/Nobody
Pronouns are usually used to replace nouns; however, they can also stand in for certain adverbs,
adjectives and other pronouns. Almost anytime you refer to a person, animal, place or thing, you can
use pronouns to add interest and make your speech or writing flow better.
In nearly all cases, a pronoun must follow an expression called an antecedent. This basically means that a
pronoun can only really be understood in the context of prior information about the noun. For example,
if we use the pronoun, she in a sentence, we will only be able to understand it if we know who she is,
thus an antecedent, perhaps giving the person’s name, is usually supplied first. In the example
above Barbara drinks a cup of coffee every afternoon, if we had never mentioned Barbara or what she
drinks, it would be unclear if we said, She drinks it every afternoon. Your reader would be confused and
wonder who she is and what does she drink, wine, water, lemonade?
1. Anyone
2. Somebody
3. Whichever
4. Whoever
5. Other
6. Something
7. Nobody
OBJECT PRONOUN
Se utiliza después del verbo para referirnos a una cosa o persona. Recibe la acción del verbo.
Los pronombres objeto se usan cuando el sustantivo es el objeto (o complemento) de la frase. O
sea, recibe la acción del verbo en vez de desarrollar la acción del verbo.
me = a mí
you = a ti
him = a él
her = a ella
it = se usa para cosas, animales etc
us = a nosotros
them = a ellos EJEMPLOS/EXAMPLES

Give me the money.
I’ll send the pictures to you tomorrow.
I called him an hour ago.
I looked for her at the concert.
Put it in the fridge.
If you need any help, just ask us.
Mary took them out to dinner.
 ADJETIVOS POSESIVOS / POSSESSIVE ADJETIVES
Se usan como otros adjetivos – para describir a un sustantivo. Pero solo describen un aspecto
del sustantivo: ¿A quién pertenece?
Como habla de posesión, se llama adjetivo posesivo. En español, es el “mi casa, tu casa, su
casa”.
my = mi
your = tu
his = su (de él)
her = su (de ella)
its = su (de algo sin género)
our = nuestro
their = su (de ellos) EXAMPLES/EJEMPLOS

That’s my bike.
You dropped your keys. (Dropped = dejaste caer)
He washed his hair.
She dumped her boyfriend last week. (Dumped = dejó)
The dog wagged its tail. (Wagged = meneó)
We sold our house last year.
The children took off their shoes.
 PRONOMBRES PROSESIVOS / POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Los pronombres posesivos son un poco diferentes a los adjetivos posesivos – los adjetivos van
antes de un sustantivo, mientras que los pronombres posesivos se usan en vez del sustantivo.
Se usan, entonces, cuando ya se sabe de qué está hablando. En español, los equivalentes son es mío,
es tuyo, es suyo, etc.
mine = mío
yours = tuyo
his = suyo (de él)
her = suyo (de ella)
its own = (suyo, de una cosa sin género, pero no se usa mucho)
ours = nuestro
theirs = su (de ellos) EXAMPLES/EJEMPLOS

The bag is mine. (It’s my bag.)

This towel is yours. (It’s your towel.)
That’s not my phone, it’s his.
The dog isn’t mine, it’s hers.
The cat has a personality of its own.
The money is ours. We earned it.
We ate our lunches, and they ate theirs.
 REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS/PRONOMBRES REFLEXIVOS
Los pronombres reflexivos se usan cuando el sujeto y el complemento de la frase son iguales. Terminan
con -self (en singular) y -selves (en plural).
En español se expresa algo parecido con “a mi mismo”, “a si mismo” etc.
myself = a mi mismo
yourself = a ti mismo
himself = a si mismo (él)
herself = a si mismo (ella)
itself = a si mismo (algo sin género)
ourselves = a nosotros mismos
theirselves = a si mismos (ellos, ellas)
EXAMPLES/EJEMPLOS
I cut myself while I was cooking.
You’re not acting like yourself. Is everything okay?
He looked at himself in the mirror.
She hurt herself when she was skiing.
The turtle was on its back, trying to turn itself over.
We bought ourselves a new car. Wanna see it?
They locked themselves up in the bedroom and didn’t come out for more than an hour.
Indefinite pronouns – those referring to one or more unspecified objects, beings, or places,
such as someone, anybody, nothing. Notice in the examples below that there is no set
position for where an indefinite pronoun will appear in a sentence.
Indefinite pronoun examples:
1. Anyone
2. Somebody Indefinite pronoun examples in the following sentences are in bold for
3. Whichever easy identification.
4. Whoever Would anyone like a coffee?
5. Other Take whatever you like. Jamie took one cookie and Ben took the other.
6. Something Whoever owns this is in big trouble! I want someone to move this now.
7. Nobody Indefinite pronouns can also be used to create sentences that are almost
abstract. Examples could include this, all, such and something.
All was not lost.
Such is life.
Something tells me this won’t end well.
