Avoiding Pronoun Party Fouls Which Pronoun? Avoiding Pronoun Party Fouls

Review Pronouns = stunt doubles for superstar nouns (antecedent) and also adjectives that show ownership (possessive) Pronouns must correctly replace the antecedent. In other words, it must be the same part of speech and serve the same purpose. Think of it as an invitation to a party…

You are cordially invited to join me in a little Dear Pronoun, You are cordially invited to join me in a little Soiree in the sentence below …

Invitation to a Party Seriously? For MY party? OMG! I can’t believe I wore the wrong outfit! Seriously? For MY party? … but Party Guest Pronoun’s outfit is a PARTY FOUL! Superstar Noun has one idea for the party…

To avoid Pronoun Party Fouls Find the antecedent and circle it. Determine what purpose the antecedent serves. * This is usually where the party foul occurs. Select a pronoun from the correct pronoun party group, making sure that it agrees in number and gender. Sample: When the students finish testing, ___ place the completed work in the basket. What noun are we trying to replace? How is it used?

Avoiding Pronoun Party Fouls Purpose in sentence: Ex: Correct Pronoun Group Subject The main noun doing the action in the sentence; appears in 1st part of sentence; can rename a subject later in the sentence if there is a linking verb Lamar can eat a dozen doughnuts in 2 minutes. Subject Pronouns Object after a verb or preposition Follows the verb or a preposition; appears in last half of sentence or after prepositions Tommy gave his girlfriend a dozen roses. Pass the ball to the wide receiver. Object pronouns Possessive Means “belongs to” Shows ownership The red Mustang is Jeremy’s car. Possessive as adjective or noun replacement
