1- Subject pronouns

What is a Subject Pronoun?

A subject pronoun is exactly what it sounds like: a pronoun that takes the place of a noun as the subject of
a sentence. Remember, a sentence’s subject is the person or thing that performs the action of a verb.
Subject pronouns can be singular or plural, and they can be masculine, feminine, or gender neutral. The
masculine or feminine subject pronoun is used when gender is known; when referring to an inanimate object,
the gender-neutral form “it” is used. The subject pronoun “it” can be used to refer to animals of unspecific
gender, and it is also appropriate to use the subject pronoun “it” to describe a baby of unknown gender. “It”
is also used to talk about the weather, temperature, or time.
If you can find the subject of a sentence, then you can find a subject pronoun just as easily! Let’s go back
to basics for a moment. Every complete sentence has a subject, a verb, and an object. The subject (or subject
pronoun) is always a person, thing, place, or idea, or the plural of one of those, i.e. people, things, places, or
ideas. The object or object pronoun is always on the receiving end of the action.
One of the easiest ways to identify a subject or subject pronoun is to remember that it is always going to
be the who or what that has a direct effect on the action that’s taking place.

2- Demonstrative pronouns. Pronouns that point to specific things: this, that, these, and those, as
in “This is an apple,” “Those are boys,” or “Take these to the clerk.” The same words are used as
demonstrative adjectives when they modify nouns or pronouns: “this apple,” “those boys.”

2.1- Fill in the blanks with this, these, that, those.

1. ............................. is a rubber.

2. ............................. are rulers.

3. ............................. are pencils.

 4. ............................ is a book.

5. ........................... are blackboards.

6. ......................... is a schoolbag.

7. ........................ is a pen.

THIS is the demonstrative pronoun we use with nouns in singular. THESE is the plural form of “this“,
therefore, we use it with nouns in plural.
e.g. This is my book.
Are these books yours?
THAT- is used with nouns in singular;
THOSE (plural form of “that“) is used with nouns in plural.
e.g. That book is not mine.
Those books are John's.
