Explain to which class each noun in the foregoing sentences

proper nouns.
Exercise 76—Pronouns
The different classes of pronouns are distinguished as follows:
The personal pronoun is used in place of the name of a person or
thing. The pronoun of the first person indicates the speaker, the
pronoun of the second person indicates the person spoken to, and
the pronoun of the third person indicates the person spoken of. They
are declined as follows:
First person
Singular Plural
Nom. I we
Poss. my, mine our, ours
Obj. me us
Second person
Nom. you (thou) you (ye)
Poss. your, yours (thy, thine) your, yours
Obj. you (thee) you
In modern usage you is used for both the singular and the plural,
but the verb that goes with you is always plural.
Third person
Singular Plural
Masc. Fem. Neut.
Nom. he she it they
Poss. his her, hers its their, theirs
Obj. him her it them
Note.—The forms mine, thine, yours, hers, ours, theirs, and
sometimes his are possessive case in form, but nominative or
objective case in use. That pencil is mine really means, That pencil is
my pencil. Mine is used as a substitute for a possessive pronoun and
the noun it modifies.
The personal pronouns compounded with self are of two kinds:
1. Emphatic pronouns; as,
The buyer himself told me.
2. Reflexive pronouns, referring back to the subject and at the
same time being in the objective case; as,
John slipped and hurt himself.
The relative pronoun is so called because it relates or refers to
another word, called its antecedent, to which it joins the clause that
it introduces. The relative pronouns are who, which, what, that; and
the compound relatives are whoever, whosoever, whichever,
whichsoever, whatever, whatsoever.
They are declined as follows:
Singular and Plural
Nom. who which whoever whosoever
Poss. whose of which whosever whosesoever
Obj. whom which whomever whomsoever
That, what, whichever, whichsoever, whatever, and whatsoever
are not declined. They have the same form in the nominative and
objective cases, and are not used in the possessive case.
What is peculiar in that it never has an antecedent expressed, but
itself stands for both antecedent and relative. It is called the double
relative. Compare the following:
I did not hear the words that he said.
I did not hear that which he said.
I did not hear what he said.
That is called the restrictive relative, because it limits or restricts
its antecedent to the meaning expressed in the clause introduced by
that. A restrictive clause is one, therefore, that is needed to make
the meaning of the sentence clear. Compare the following:
Non-restrictive: John Brown, who has no disease, needs no
physician.
Restrictive: He that hath no disease needs no physician.
Notice that a restrictive, or necessary, clause is not separated
from the rest of the sentence by commas.
Who and which are sometimes used with restrictive force; as,
1. Those who have finished their work may leave. (Not
everybody.)
2. Have you read the book which he recommended? (He
recommended but one.)
Interrogative pronouns are used in asking questions. They are
who, which, what. Who refers to persons; which refers to persons or
things, and is used to distinguish one object from another; what
refers to things. They are declined as follows:
Singular and Plural
Nom. who which what
Poss. whose (of which) (of what)
Obj. whom which what
The interrogative pronouns which and what are frequently used
as adjectives. In this case they are called pronominal adjectives.
Compare:
Pronoun: Which of these hats do you prefer?
Adjective: Which hat do you prefer?
The demonstrative pronouns are this and that with their plurals
these and those. They are always used to point out, or demonstrate,
the noun to which they refer. This and these are used for objects
near at hand, or recently named; that and those are used for objects
far away, or not recently named.
The demonstrative pronouns are frequently used as adjectives;
as,
Pronoun: That is my book.
Adjective: That book is mine.
Indefinite pronouns refer to objects or persons, but do not define
or limit them. The indefinite pronouns are each, every, either,
neither, one, none, other, another, few, all, many, several, some,
each other, one another, and the compounds any one, some one,
every one, something, nothing. Indefinite pronouns are frequently
used as adjectives. Each, every, either, one, another, any one, some
one, every one, whether they are used as pronouns or as adjectives,
are singular in number. If another pronoun is used to refer to one of
them, it must be in the singular number.

Exercise 80—Case
Case is that modification of a noun or a pronoun which denotes
its relation to other words in the sentence. There are three cases:
the nominative, the objective, and the possessive. Although nouns
are used in all three cases, no change of form occurs except in the
possessive case.
The nominative case is used in the following ways:
1. The principal use of the nominative case is as subject of the
sentence; as,
Noun: The business is prosperous.
Pronoun: It has been established for five years.
2. Sometimes a noun or pronoun is used to complete the
meaning of such verbs as be, become, seem, appear, taste, feel.
Such a noun is in the nominative case, and is called a predicate
nominative, or a subjective complement; as,
Noun: Mr. Brown is the manager.
He seems a gentleman.
Pronoun: I think it is she.
3. A noun in apposition with another noun in the nominative case
is also in the nominative case; as,
Mr. Brown, the manager, is very capable.
The man to whom you should apply is Mr. Brown, the manager.

8. I am very sorry that me, my interrupting you yesterday delayed

9. The machine is in excellent condition. There is no reason for it,
its needing any repair.
10. Everybody, everybody's being on time is absolutely necessary.
