    Pronouns

    • Personal pronouns are used to represent the number of people


    (I/we), gender (he/she), person (I/you) and case (we/us).

    • There are two types of Personal pronouns


    ▫ Subject
    ▫ Object
    • We use he/him to refer to men, and she/her to refer to women.
    When we are not sure if we are talking about a man or a woman
    we use they/them.
    Subject Pronouns
    • We use subject pronouns as subject of the verb:
    ▫ I like your dress.
    You are late.
    He is my friend
    It is raining
    She is on holiday
    We live in England.
    They come from London

    • Subject is usually at the beginning part of a sentence


    Object Pronouns
    • We use object pronouns:

    ▫ as the object of the verb:


     Can you help me please?
    I can see you.
    She doesn’t like him.
    I saw her in town today.
    We saw them in town yesterday, but they didn’t see us.
    •
    • How to determine which is Subject and which
    is Object
    • Ask yourself this question;

    Who did what to whom?

    Subject Verb Object


    Practice
    • I'm Sally and this is Ron, my husband. _______live near
    Newcastle.
    • We're going for something to eat. Do you want to come with
    ________?
    • Have you talked to a lawyer? ______ can tell you your rights
    • Remind ___ what your name is.
    • _____ were worried about you, you should have called us.
    Possessive Pronouns
    • That is my bag = Itu beg saya
    • That is your bag = Itu beg awak
    • That is his bag= Itu beg dia (lelaki)
    • That is her bag = Itu beg dia (perempuan)
    • That is our bag = Itu beg kami
    • That is their bag = Itu beg mereka
    • That is its bag = Itu beg ia (Benda/haiwan)
    • That bag is mine = Beg itu kepunyaan saya

    Reflexive Pronouns
    Reflexive pronouns are used
    to indicate that both the
    subject and the object of a
    sentence receive the action
    of the verb.
    To make things easier to you, you must understand the
    following table:
    Personal Pronouns Reflexive Pronouns
    I Myself
    You Yourself
    He Himself
    She Herself
    It Itself
    We Ourselves
    You Yourselves
    They themselves
    Ex: I cut myself in the kitchen.
    It means that I was using a knife and I cut my finger.
    More examples:

     He hurt himself when he fell off his skateboard.

     She usually talks to herself in front of the mirror.

     David read quietly to himself.

     We can trust in ourselves.

     The students can monitor themselves.


    Note 1: Be careful with the uses
    of yourself and yourselves.
     Yourself – singular form

    You always blame yourself when something is wrong Bob.

     Yourselves – plural form

    Mike and Tina, you must take care of yourselves.


    Note 2: You can use reflexive pronouns after “by”
    to emphasize that someone did something without
    any help, or to say that someone is alone.

     I did the homework by myself.

     He lived in England for 6 years by himself.


    Note 3: Do not use reflexive
    pronouns after “with” meaning
    “accompanied by”.

     Why didn’t you bring your sister with you?


    Note 4: Do not use reflexive
    pronouns when referring to places.

     You have to keep your experiment in front of you.


    Note 5: Do not use reflexive pronouns with
    verbs which describe actions that people
    normally do to themselves.
     I usually shave in the morning.
    Now do it by yourselves!
