What is a Pronoun…?

noun.

Look at these sentences:
1. She has chocolate chip cookies. Subject
2. Give her those cookies. Object

Types of Pronouns:
6
Today, we are going to look at:
• 3 Types of Pronouns:
Subject Pronouns, Object Pronouns, Possessive Pronouns
• Possessive Adjectives
• Demonstrative pronouns

Subject pronouns:
7
Subject pronouns are the actors/”do-ers” in the sentence.
They are:
I you he/she
It they we

8
Subject pronouns
I drive a white car.
“I” is a subject pronoun.
It is at the beginning of a sentence. The noun it names is usually the
subject of a verb (the “do-er” of the action).

Subject pronouns – examples:
9
Subject pronouns:
I love winter in Manitoba.
She reads a new book every week.
They have a collection of old watches.

Object pronouns:
10
Receive the action in the sentence.
They are:
me you him/her
it us them

11
Object pronouns:
You should give me the cookies.
“Me” is an object pronoun.
It receives the action of the verb in the sentence.

Object pronouns – examples:
12
I saw him steal those cookies!
Grandma bought them Christmas sweaters.
Maya has a new phone. She takes it everywhere.

Possessive pronouns:
13
Independent possessive pronouns take the place of a
noun to avoid repeating it in a sentence.
They appear often at the end of a sentence.
They are:
yours mine theirs
ours

Possessive pronouns:
14
Independent possessive pronouns take the place of a
noun to avoid duplicating it in a sentence.
Those cookies are my cookies.
Those cookies are mine.
“Mine” is a possessive pronoun.

Possessive pronouns – examples:
15
That textbook is mine.
The coffee with cream is yours.
This giant dog is theirs.

Possessive adjectives:
16
Like possessive pronouns, these also tell us who or
what owns something.
But, they are placed before a noun to modify it.
They are:
my your his/her
their its our

17
Possessive adjectives:
Our apartment is around the corner.
“Our” is a possessive adjective.
These function as determiners in front of a noun to describe whom
something belongs to:
"I said that's my phone.".

Possessive adjectives – examples:
18
Your hat is on backwards.
My shoes are too small.
Their dream is to travel to Paris.

55

There are 2 types – singular and plural.
singular: this, that
plural: these, those

56
Demonstrative pronouns can be either near or far
in distance or time:
Near in time or distance: this, these
Far in time or distance: that, those

57
Demonstrative pronouns are different from
demonstrative adjectives (even though the words are
the same).
Demonstrative adjectives modify nouns.
This car is very expensive.
Demonstrative pronouns stand alone.
That looks like my old car.

58
Examples:
I can’t believe this!
That can’t be right!
These are the only chocolates I like.
Those are the Rocky Mountains.

A short story. (August 31, 2023 – Barre, Vermont, USA)
On the first day of his junior year, Ivan Nebeker wandered into his final
class. He chose a desk in the back of the room, next to some friends. His
schedule simply called the class “English”. Looking around, he could see it was
filled with all the kids who struggled to pass anything.
The teacher, Mrs. Reed, also kept her desk in the back of the room, but
in the opposite corner from the one Ivan chose. He had never been in one of
her classes, but Spaulding High School was small enough that he knew every
teacher’s reputation. Mrs. Reed was supposed to be a soft pushover. She
never yelled. All she cared about was books. The inside of her classroom was
what Ivan expected. Pictures of authors hung on every wall. Paperbacks
overflowed bookcases and were stacked in towers on the floor.

“I’m Carly Reed,” she said after the bell rang. “You should probably call
me Mrs. Reed.”
Ivan quickly decided there was nothing intimidating about her. She was
short and reading glasses stuck out of her poofy hair. She smiled as she
spoke in a voice that made her sound like she was reading poetry.
“I asked to teach P.E., but the principal told me with a name like Mrs.
Reed, I had to teach English.” She chuckled at her joke but none of the
students in the class responded.
“I’ve been doing this for twenty-five years, so I’ve seen everything. All I
ask is your attention. Please put away your phones. You can sit anywhere you
like. You are going to learn to express yourself and to feel and understand
other points of view. These will be the most important things in your life.”

Mrs. Reed then asked two students sitting up front to pass out copies of
a book from one of her stacks. Ivan was soon holding a book titled “The
Cure.”
“This is a relatively new book,” Mrs. Reed continued. “It’s a story about
the future. We’ll read it out loud together. Don’t worry if you’re not a fast
reader or you don’t know some of the words. We aren’t here to judge
you. We’re in this together.”
The entire class turned to the first page. Every student took a turn
reading a paragraph, with Mrs. Reed pausing to ask them their name and then
complimenting them on something she liked about their reading. This
continued until five minutes were left in the class period.

“Let’s stop there so I can tell you about your first big assignment. I want
you to write a 500-word essay about the future. Tell me what the world will
look like in twenty years. This will be due on September 15th. You’ll have over
two weeks to write it. Plenty of time. I want you to love language like I do. I
want to see the good in you.”
Copies of “The Cure” were returned to a stack and the class ended
when the bell rang. Ivan and his friends shuffled out the door, eager to go
home.
“Why do we have to take English? Waste of time,” one of them said.
“At least we can do whatever we want in there. The teacher has no idea
what’s going on in the real world.”
Ivan was back in the same desk the next day.
