1. PRONOUNS Pronoun: A word that takes the place of a noun (antecedent)
Pronouns refer. They refer to nouns. A pronoun is a word we use instead of repeating an antecedent (noun); this helps us avoid repeating the antecedent noun over and over again monotonously.

2. SUBJECT PRONOUNS Singular Plural
First person: I we
Second person: you you
Third Person: he, she, it they
Subject pronouns are in the subject case—also called the nominative case.
Examples: She and I went to the cathedral (She and I are doing the action…they are the subjects!! Get it??)

3. OBJECT PRONOUNS Singular Plural First Person: me us
Second Person: you you
Third Person : him, her, it them
Example: Daddy put him in the corner. Object pronouns receive the action of the verb.

4. MORE PRONOUNS:
Possessive Pronouns: Pronouns that show possession or ownership: my, your, his, her, its, our, and their. Possessive case pronouns are already possessive, and therefore do not need apostrophes.
Its or It’s: The word its is a possessive pronoun. The word it’s is a contraction of it and is. It’s too late to lock its cage.
Interrogative pronouns: A pronoun used to interrogate (ask questions): who, whose, whom, which, what. Who went to the piazza?
Demonstrative Pronouns: A pronoun used to demonstrate: this, that, these, those. This is the dog I wish you to paint.

5. Relative Pronouns: Relative pronouns relate descriptive parts of a sentence (adjective clauses) to other parts of a sentence. They often interrupt a sentence.
The man [who followed you] turned left.
Notice: The pronoun “who” relates back to “man.”
The relative pronouns are who, whose, whom, which, and that.
Who or Whom? Who is a subject, and whom is an object.
The composer who wrote the Brandenburg Concerto was Bach.
You asked whom?
Who saw Whom?

6. Reflexive Pronouns: a –self or –selves pronoun that refers to the subject and is necessary to the meaning of the sentence.
Example: Maddie enjoyed herself at the party.
Intensive Pronouns: a –self or --selves pronoun that emphasizes (intensifies) a noun or another pronoun and is unnecessary to the meaning of the sentence.
Example: I myself agree with that idea. Did you redecorate the room yourself?
NOTE: There is no such word as hisself or theirselves!! (only himself and themselves)
Indefinite Pronouns: general pronouns that do not have definite antecedents: anyone, anybody, each, all. (FYI: Those ending in –one and –body are singular.)
Example: Anyone can get an A if he/she studies.

8. Pronoun Practice A common slave, you know him well by sight,
Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn
Like twenty torches joined.
For my part, I have walked about the streets,
Submitting me unto the perilous night…
I have an hour’s talk in store for you;
Remember that you call on me today.
I know that we shall have him well to friend.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.
Urge me no more; I shall forget myself.
Have mind upon your health. Tempt me no farther.
Must I observe you? Must I stand and crouch
Under your testy humor? By the gods,
You shall digest the venom of your spleen
Though it do split you.
