The naughty boy (Sunny) keeps running around and
playing in the house. His mother scolds him-

Mother - “Sunny! Enough of this. You have a lot of homework
left. Why don’t you go and do your homework? You are
supposed to speak a few lines about yourself tomorrow in the
class. Why don’t you prepare for it? Tell me what you plan to
speak?”

Sunny – “Sunny doesn’t like studying. Sunny likes playing.
Sunny likes TV. Sunny doesn’t like Sunny’s mother”

Mother –(laughing) “Why do you repeat your name again and
again? Instead of your name, use the word ‘I’ ”

Sunny – “I doesn’t like studying. I likes playing. I likes TV. I
doesn’t like I’s mother”

Mother – “Oh no! Not like that. Say – I don’t like studying. I don’t
like playing.. ok?”

Sunny – “I don’t like studying. I don’t like playing. I like TV. I
don’t like I mother”

Mother – “No! Not ‘I mother’, say ‘my mother’

Sunny – “Oh mama! I am confused”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this episode, the students will be able to

Voice-over with Text on screen (Each bullet point to be
shown, as the anchor speaks.)

• Recall the definition of a Noun and identify them in any
given sentence.
• State the need for Pronouns to replace Nouns.
• Define Pronouns and give examples of commonly used
Pronouns.
• Use appropriate Pronouns while replacing singular or
plural Nouns.

Introduction

Anchor: Let us look at the family of the’ Pronouns’, used
most commonly.

(Each pronoun with the particular image is shown, one by
one, as the anchor speaks, and joins the family, making a
collage of the ‘Pronoun Family’)

Anchor: Here come the members, one by one,
‘he’, ‘she’ ‘They’ ‘I’, ‘We ,’His’, ’Me’, ’Their’, and they all get
together to make the pronoun ‘US’

put a dialogue blob saying ’US’ in bold letters. Image for
reference is given below.)

Cut to ANCHOR2: (show each bulleted word on screen
along with the picture, as the anchor speaks.)

Since ‘pronouns are a substitute of ‘Nouns’,
let us first recall what nouns are.

A noun is a word used to refer to a

Nouns are easy to identify! Now, Let us hear the dialogue
between Pinky and her Mother, Mrs. Kapoor.

MM- 2
(Lip movements of two persons—one of a teen-aged girl
with salwar kameez and a middleaged lady , again with a
salwar suit to be shown, along with text in the bubbles.)
VO for Pinky and Mrs. Kapoor.

Mrs. Kapoor: So Pinky, how was the first day at school? Did
you make some new friends?

Pinky: Mummy it was a very enjoyable day, as I made a new
friend, Meera. Meera is very friendly and sweet. Meera also
loves to draw, like me. Meera is an intelligent girl. Meera is very
fond of playing throw ball. Meera stays very close to my house. I
liked Meera a lot and Meera also made friends with me. Meera
will come…………………

Mrs. Kapoor: Stop it Pinky! You sound so odd. Why are you
repeating the name Meera, again and again?

Pinky: Oh Mummy, Then what do I say?

Mrs. Kapoor: It’s just the right time to see the TV Program on ‘
PRONOUNS’ You will learn all about replacing names with
words called’ Pronouns’.

Pinky: Oh That sounds great! Let me quickly switch it on!.

Show animated picture of the girl, Pinky, running towards a
TV set and switching it on.
( Pinky rushes towards a TV set and switches it on.)

Cut to Anchor4:

So I am sure you also must have heard Pinky talking to her
mother .She sounded very incorrect when she repeated the
name, ‘Meera’ nine times!!

This is not how we usually speak, do we? Let us listen to the
corrected form of the same dialogue by Pinky.

MM-3

-Show the girl , Pinky, again talking to Mrs. Kapoor, her
Mother. Show the dialogue ina bubble, with lip movement.

PES/ENG/IX/005

Pinky’s voice in the background.
Pinky: : Mummy, it was a very enjoyable day, as I made a new
friend, Meera. She is very friendly and sweet. She also loves to
draw, like me. She is an intelligent girl, and is very fond of
playing throw ball. She stays very close to my house. I liked her
a lot and she also made friends with me. Meera will come to my
house next week.

Cut to Anchor 5:

Now Pinky was sounding correct.The same names of any
‘Person’, ‘Place’ or ‘Thing’ should not be repeated again
and again.

The words ‘she’ and ‘her’ are called pronouns. They are
substitutes for the noun ‘Meera’. A pronoun, therefore, is a word
which is used in place of a noun, in order to avoid unnecessary
repetition.

Look at some examples- (Show this sentence with the
images of a boy of 8 years, wearing pants and t-shirt and
the same picture of Pinky shown before, while anchor talks
on the screen)

Vikas is Pinky’s brother. They came to Chandigarh when he was
five years old.

In this sentence, ‘he’ is a pronoun. It refers to the noun ‘Vikas’.
‘They’ is also a pronoun ……… which refers to both the children
together.

(Show animated underlining of the pronoun – ‘he’ and ‘they’
along with their animated images.)

These children go to their yoga class regularly..

In this sentence, ‘their’ is a pronoun. It refers to the noun
‘children.’

(Show animated underlining of the pronoun- ‘their’ along
with the animated pictures of children.)

Cut to Anchor6:

You should be familiar with the pronouns in common use. Here
is a list of some commonly used pronouns-

wall, being built by a man climbing up a ladder, and putting
the pronoun bricks one by one with each pronoun on a
separate brick, as it is equally divided into 3 parts. The
word PRONOUNS can be written across the wall in red, in a
slanting way. Or, these pronouns could be shown as a
collage of words getting animated on the screen, and in the
process, writing the word PRONOUN, across the screen. A
sample sketch is shown below.While the wall is being
made,there should be some appropriate background
music.)

So now the’ Wall of Pronouns’ is there.

It’s time for a little exercise! Think of the appropriate pronoun
required to be filled in these blanks-
(After a second, as the anchor speaks the answer, let it jump
and fall in place of the blank.)

Anchor 7: Now let’s talk about different kinds of
Pronouns.

Cut to our hi-tech board on which the following SUPER
appears:

PERSONAL PRONOUNS

Personal pronouns stand for the three persons – first person,
second person and third person. Pronouns can also be
singular or plural.

The first person represents the person speaking as – I, we,
myself, and ourselves. (Blink the words one by one as they are
spoken)

PES/ENG/IX/005

MM-5

For example- Refer Image1.Show a group of children. Out of
them one child says ’I like to play football’. Another girl
says’ I can carry the baby myself.’ Two children say
together,’ We like to dress up ourselves.’ Another girl says,
’We like our Teddy Bear.’ (dialogue is voice over, shown in
the bubbles, blinking whenever the child speaks.)Reference
image is shown below:

IMAGE
I can carry the
baby myself.

I like to play
Football.
We like to dress up
ourselves

We like
our Teddy
Bear

The second person denotes the person the speaker is
communicating with.

Tina, can I
help you?

Geeta, is this your toy?

Eg. ‘you’, ‘your’ IMAGE-2

For example- Refer Image2 (dialogue is voice over)

PES/ENG/IX/005

The third person, stands for the ‘other’ thing that is referred to
between the speaker and the listener. Eg. ‘His’, ‘Her’,
‘Their’,’They’, ‘Them’.

We have to give
them some gift. Eat fast. We have
to go to their house

Using Pronouns Clearly

Cut to Anchor 8:

Because a pronoun REFERS BACK to a noun or TAKES THE
PLACE OF that noun, you have to use the correct pronoun so
that one can clearly understand which noun your pronoun is
referring to.

Therefore, pronouns should:

10

PES/ENG/IX/005

• AGREE in NUMBER (Show this heading while
anchor is talking)

If the pronoun takes the place of a singular noun, you have to
use a singular pronoun.

If a student parks a car on If a student parks a car on
campus, he or she has to campus, they have to buy
buy a parking sticker. a parking sticker.

REMEMBER: The words EVERYBODY, ANYBODY, ANYONE,
EACH, NEITHER, NOBODY, SOMEONE, A PERSON, etc. are
singular and take singular pronouns.

MM-6

Show the image of a classroom, where the teacher is speaking
this dialogue, shown in a bubble.

Everybody ought to do his Everybody ought to do
or her best. their or her best.

Neither of the girls brought her umbrella. (NOT: their umbrellas)

(Show the image of three girls, where one of them is speaking
the dialogue:Niether he nor she has got the umbrella.)

• AGREE in PERSON (Show this heading while
anchor is talking)

If you are writing in the "first person" ( I), don't confuse your
reader by switching to the "second person" ( you) or "third
person" (he, she, they, it, etc.). Similarly, if you are using the
"second person," don't switch to "first" or "third."

When a person comes to class, he or she should have his or her
homework ready.

(NOT: When a person comes to class, you should have your
homework ready.)

appears:

Relative Pronouns

Cut to Anchor 11 (blink the highlighted words.)

The relative pronouns (who/whoever/which/that) relate groups of
words to nouns or other pronouns (The student who studies
hardest usually does the best.). The word ‘who’ connects or
relates the subject, student, to the verb within the dependent
clause (studies).

The expanded form of the relative pronouns — whoever,
whomever, whatever — are known as indefinite relative
pronouns. A couple of sample sentences should suffice to
demonstrate why they are called "indefinite":

• The coach will select whomever he pleases.
• He seemed to say whatever came to his mind.
• Whoever crosses this line first ,will win the race. (Please
animate the underlining of words)

appears:

Indefinite Pronouns

Cut to Anchor 12:

15

PES/ENG/IX/005

Indefinite pronouns refer to an unknown or undetermined
person, place or thing. Care must be taken to identify
whether the pronoun is singular or plural to ensure the
proper conjugation of the verb.

Some indefinite pronouns always take a singular verb, which
means that the verb is conjugated for a singular subject.

For example:

MM-7
----Show an animated scene. A young lady comes in with
her son,who is a patient. She enters the Medical centre and
says (Dialogues to be shown in bubbles)

Lady:’ Where is Dr. Malhotra?’

Compounder:He is not on duty.’

Lady: Then please call Dr. Jain. My son has an injury and is
very sick.

Compounder: Sorry Ma’m.Neither of the doctors is ready to
treat Arun’s injury by surgery.

• Neither of the doctors is ready to treat Arun's injury by
surgery.

In this sentence, NEITHER is the subject. Because NEITHER is
singular, it takes a single verb. In other words, the verb is
conjugated as if the subject is a single person: NEITHER
PLANS. Just as we would write THE DOCTOR PLANS. (Show
this table on the screen)

Always Another, Anyone, Anybody, Anything, Everyone, Everybody,
singular Everything, Nothing, Each, Either No One, Neither, Nobody, One,
Someone, Somebody, Something

MM 8:

members—middle aged Father and mother and two young

laziness, when
it comes to
sports, he is
always active.
Don’t worry! Nothing is

.Everyone will be there
for the game.

VOICE OVER WITH TEXT AND IMAGE ON SCREEN

In the following examples, the indefinite pronoun is bold and the
verb is underlined.

o Every season one or the other of the players attempts to
break Vishwanathan’s record.

o Whatever anyone says about Chandan’s laziness, when
it comes to sports, he is always active!

o Someone announced that there won’t be any game,as it
is going to rain.

Some indefinite pronouns always take a plural verb, which
means that the verb is conjugated for a plural subject. For
example:

MM-9—

17

PES/ENG/IX/005

Show an animated scene of two divers swimming in deep
ocean. Suddenly one of them pops out his head and shout
‘I found it’.After a second, the second one also sticks out
his head to say’I found the Treasure!’.Then a man comes
out like a refree and announces loudly’Both the divers
claim responsibility for finding the treasure,first. So we
need to have a toss to decide about the winner!’ All
Dialogues will appear in bubbles along with the person,
speaking.Picture given below, for reference.

I FOUND
IT
NO! I FOUND THE
TREASURE!

Both the Divers claim
responsibility for
finding the treasure
first .So we need to
have a toss to decide
about the winner!

o Both the divers claim responsibility for finding the treasure,
first.
o In this sentence, BOTH is the subject. Because BOTH is
plural it takes a plural verb. In other words, the verb is
conjugated as if the subject is more than one person: BOTH
CLAIM. Just as we would write THE DIVERS CLAIM. (Show
this table on the screen)

Always plural Both, Few, Many, Several
18

PES/ENG/IX/005

In the following examples, the indefinite pronoun is bold and the
verb is underlined.

o Both have paid the taxes due for this year..

o Many felt that the paper was very tough.

o A few made the same comment, but in different ways.

o Several bills contain items that were not discussed earlier.

Some of the indefinite pronouns may take a plural or singular
verb depending on the meaning. For example:

o Some of the money remains
unclaimed.

In this sentence, SOME is the subject and the object of the
preposition. MONEY indicates whether the verb should be
singular or plural. Because MONEY in this sentence is a single
unit, the verb is singular. SOME REMAINS.

o Some of the children hide from the
teacher.

In this sentence, SOME is the subject and the object of the
preposition CHILDREN indicates whether the verb should be
singular or plural. Because CHILDREN in this sentence is plural
the verb is plural. SOME - hide

Either plural or singular ,depending on the noun. All, Most, None, Some

19

PES/ENG/IX/005

o All the traditional groups decided to join the campaign
o Almost all the money in the budget is being diverted from
those programs.
o None of the ways of judging the winner for the contest is
simple.
o It seemed as if none of the relief supplies were actually
delivered.
o Some of the Educationists say that the school syllabus
needs to be changed.
o Experts believe some of the negative campaigning appears
to have been harmful for themselves.

appears:

Intensive Pronouns

Cut to Anchor 8:

Intensive pronouns (such as myself, yourself, herself,
ourselves, themselves—show blinked and animated) fBih
gVBkAtkA d/ pD/ jz[d/ jB consist of a personal pronoun plus self
or selves i' eh BkAtkA s/ i'o gkT[d/ jB. (I myself don't know the
answer.) It is possible (but rather unusual) for an intensive
pronoun to precede the noun it refers to. (eg.Myself, I don't
believe a word he says.)

It can be concluded that these intensive pronouns are used
mostly for reinforcement of some comment, to make it sound
more strong .Let’s have a look at this classroom, where the
teacher is actively involved with the children.

CUT TO MM 10---

AN Animated classroom scene, where the conversation is
going on between some students and the teacher. The

Ms. Poonam: Doesn’t matter. I, myself, told you to take some
help, if required.

Tarun Ma’m, in our group all the work is done by us, ourselves,
without any help.

appears:

Reflexive Pronouns

Cut to Anchor9:

The reflexive pronouns (which have the same forms as the
intensive pronouns) indicate that the subject in the sentence
also receives the action of the verb. (Students who cheat on this
quiz are only hurting themselves. You paid yourself a million
dollars? She encouraged herself to do well.)

What this means is that whenever there is a reflexive pronoun in
a sentence there must be a person to whom that pronoun can
"reflect." In other words, the sentence "Please hand that book to
myself" would be incorrect because there is no "I" in that
sentence for the "myself" to reflect to (and we would use "me"

21

PES/ENG/IX/005

instead of "myself"). A sentence such as "I gave that book to
myself for Christmas" might be silly, but it would be correct.

Be alert to a tendency to use reflexive pronoun forms
(ending in -self) where they are neither appropriate nor
necessary. The inappropriate reflexive form has a wonderful
name: the ‘untriggered’ reflexive. "Myself" tends to sound
weightier, more formal, than little ol' ‘me’ or’ I’, so it has a way of
sneaking into sentences where it doesn't belong.( Please put a
cross next to these incorrect sentences,as they are read
out, one by one.)
Eg.
Bharat and myself I are responsible for this decision.

These decisions will be made by myself me.

If you have any questions, please contact myself me or Bharat.

When pronouns are combined, the reflexive will take either the
first person

• Amit, Arun and I have deceived ourselves into
believing in my uncle.

or, when there is no first person, the second person:

• You and Jayati have deceived yourselves.

The indefinite pronoun (see above) one has its own reflexive
form ("One must have faith in oneself."), but the other indefinite
pronouns use either himself or themselves as reflexives.
(There is an entire page on the pronoun one.) It is probably
better to pluralize and avoid the clumsy himself or herself
construction.

• No one here can blame himself or herself.
• The people here cannot blame themselves.

appears:

Interrogative Pronouns

Cut to Anchor 10:

The interrogative pronouns (who/which/what) introduce
questions. (What is that? Who will help me? Which do you
prefer?) Which is generally used with more specific reference
than what. If we're taking a quiz and I ask "Which questions give
you the most trouble?", I am referring to specific questions on

22

PES/ENG/IX/005

that quiz. If I ask "What questions give you most trouble"? I
could be asking what kind of questions on that quiz (or what kind
of question, generically, in general) gives you trouble. We know
who is guilty of this crime.

Here are some examples with illustrations:-

• What makes you very happy?

• Which dress did you pick up?

• Who is ringing the bell?

appears:
Reciprocal Pronouns

Cut to Anchor 11:

The reciprocal pronouns are ‘each other and one another.’
They are convenient forms for combining ideas. If Sonali gave
Tanvi a book for Christmas and Tanvi gave Sonali a book for
Christmas, we can say that they gave each other books (or that
they gave books to each other).

• My brother and I give each other a hard time.

Reciprocal pronouns can also take possessive forms:

• They borrowed each other's ideas.

23

PES/ENG/IX/005

• The scientists in this lab often use one another's
equipment.

SUMMARY

Voice Over with Text on Screen

Let us quickly recapitulate whatever we have learnt in this
module-

• General definition:
A pronoun is a word used in place of one noun or more
than one noun.
• Person of pronouns
o first —refers to the speaker of a sentence (e.g. I,
me, my)
o second —refers specifically to the receiver of the
sentence (e.g. you)
o third —refers to someone other than me or you
(e.g. him, them)
• Types of pronouns:
o Personal —pronouns referring to specific people
(usually by their relationship to the speaker).
o Reflexive —reflexives and intensives look alike (-
self, -selves), but reflexives tend to complete a
circular reference where the subject of the verb
acts on himself or herself (e.g. I taught myself
chess; that’s why I am proud of it.)
o Intensive —reflexives and intensives look alike (-
self, -selves), but intensives only reinforce
(intensify) a noun or pronoun just mentioned in the
sentence. E.g. I myself will fix the problem.
o Demonstrative —pronouns that specify almost by
pointing to an object (e.g. this, that, those), but be
careful: these same words followed by a noun
(e.g. those books ) would be demonstrative
adjectives and not pronouns at all.
o Interrogative —pronouns designed to interrogate,
i.e. to ask a question
o Relative —pronouns that relate an adjective clause
to the word(s) it modifies (just as the word that
relates the modifying clause to the word pronouns
at the start of this sentence)
o Indefinite —pronouns that make usually indefinite
numerical references (e.g. many, few, both, some,
anything)

Look at the picture of the CATERPILLAR. The author calls him
‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ .Do you know that he is hungry for
WORDS ?

What to do: Take a piece of paper and make ‘NOUNS’ AND
‘PRONOUN’ WORDS ,as many as you can, from the main
word ,”CATERPILLAR”. You can make threecolumns and write
the words on the first column and the kind of Noun in the
second column,and the kind of Pronoun in the third column..
Let your Teacher give you a time limit. The student who can
write the maximum amount of Nouns and Pronouns from the
given word , in that particular time, will be the winner. So now,
go ahead and try your luck!!
