Object Pronoun

What is an Object Pronoun?


An object pronoun is a type of
personal pronoun that is normally
used as a grammatical object, either
as the direct or indirect object of a
verb, or as the object of a preposition.
These pronouns always take the
objective case.
Possessive pronouns
include my, mine, our, ours,
its, his, her, hers, their,
theirs, your and yours.
These are all words that
demonstrate ownership.
Examples:
• We shall finally have what is
rightfully ours.
• Their mother gets along well
with yours.
• What's mine is yours, my
friend.
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.”
Interrogative Pronouns
The main interrogative pronouns are
what, which, who, whom, and whose.
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask
questions. The other, less common
interrogative pronouns are the same as
the ones above but with the suffix -
ever or -soever (e.g., whatever,
whichever, whatsoever, whichsoever)
Indefinite Pronouns
• An indefinite pronoun does not refer to
any specific person, thing or amount. It
is vague and "not definite". Some typical
indefinite pronouns are:

• all, another, any, anybody/anyone,


anything, each, everybody/everyone,
everything, few, many, nobody, none,
one, several, some, somebody/someone
