 LEARNING GOALS
At the end of the class, you should be able to:
1. identify personal and possessive
pronouns

2. use pronouns in a sentence, and

3. accomplish tasks and activities.

POSSESSIVE?
 PRONOUNS?
Pronouns are the words you substitute for other nouns when
your reader or listener already knows which nouns you’re
referring to.

For example, you might say, “I have a dog. He’s brown and
white.”

There’s no need to clarify that you’re describing your dog in the

second sentence because you already mentioned him in the
first.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Pronouns that show ownership are

called possessive pronouns.
