What is a Pronoun?
A
pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like
"he," "which," "none," and "you" to
make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.
Grammarians
classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the
demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the
relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
Personal Pronouns
A
personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to
indicate person, number, gender, and case.
Subjective Personal Pronouns
A
subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject
of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she,"
"he," "it," "we," "you,"
"they."
In
the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is a subjective personal
pronoun and acts as the subject of the sentence:
I was glad to find the bus pass in the bottom of the green
knapsack.
You are surely the strangest child I have ever met.
