Unit 7: Pronouns and Determiners

Grammar Theory: Pronouns and Possessives

Personal Pronouns replace nouns. Subject Pronouns (I, you, he,she, it, we, they) do the action. Object Pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) receive the action.

Possessives show ownership. Possessive Adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) come before a noun. Possessive Pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs) stand alone.

Reflexive Pronouns (myself, yourself, etc.) are used when the subject and object are the same person.
