Pronoun? Who

Adjective or an

5. A noun is a person, place, thing or idea.
All nouns are either common or proper.
A common noun names any person, place or thing.
Ex. basketball, pencil, desk, classroom
A proper noun names a specific person, place or thing
and begins with a capital letter.
Ex. New York City, Mother Theresa, Babe Ruth.
There are other specific types of nouns:
A collective noun is a group of people or things.
Ex. flock, team, class, group.
6. A compound noun is a noun consisting of more than a
single word.
It can be two separate words that mean something different
when put together…ex. physical education or social studies.
It could be two words joined by a hyphen…ex. make-up or merry-go-
round.
Or it could be a combined word…ex. schoolteacher, bookkeeper,
or landlord.
7. Who would like to
be my secretary
here?
If we do this right,
the 1st initials of
each noun should
spell out a
quotation and its
speaker!
8. A pronoun is a word used in place of one or more nouns.
We use pronouns to:
1. Refer to a noun (called its antecedent) that usually comes
before the pronoun.
2. Make our writing clearer, smoother and less awkward.
Roberto feels he can win the race.
He is the pronoun and Roberto is the antecedent.
Terry and Jim know that they are best friends.
What is the pronoun here?
The antecedent?
9. Personal Pronouns refer to people and things.
They are divided into three categories.
1. First person…referring to the person who is speaking.
1. (I went to the mall.)
2. Second person…referring to the person spoken to.
1. (Joey, can you see the bus?
3. Third person…referring to anyone or anything else.
1. (Bob saw us do this assignment.)
10. Reflexive Pronouns are formed by adding self or
selves to certain personal pronouns.
myself, youself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves
Interrogative Pronouns are used to ask a question.
Which, who, whom, whose
Demonstrative Pronoun is used to point out a
specific person or thing.
this, that, these, those
“Is this yours?”
Uses both this (demonstrative pronoun) and yours (personal
pronoun).
11. Indefinite Pronoun often does not refer to a specific person
or thing and it usually does not have a definite or specific
antecedent.

14. An adjective modifies (qualifies or limits the meaning
of) a noun or a pronoun.
Answers the questions What kind? Which one(s)?
How many? How much?
The words a, an and the are the most frequently used
adjectives…though sometimes referred to as articles or
noun markers, they are adjectives!!
Remember, use a before nouns starting with a
consonant & an before nouns starting with a vowel!!!
An adjective can come before or after the noun or
pronoun it describes.
15. A Proper Adjective is formed by a Proper Noun.
Italian bread, Midas touch. Italian & Midas are proper
nouns.
A Compound Adjective is a word composed of 2 or
more words…sometimes these words are hyphenated.
landmark decision, black-and-blue mark
Do not use a hyphen (-) after an adverb ending in –ly.
newly painted mural, recently purchased
16. People sometimes confuse adjectives with nouns or
pronouns.
Points to remember:
1. When is a word a noun? When is a word an adjective?
17. 2. When is a word a pronoun? When is a word an
adjective?
