 PRONOUN VS PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVE
Difference between interrogative pronoun and adjective :
Let us we look at the following sentences −
(1) What book do you want?
(2) Which book is he reading?
(3) Which way leads to the post office?

The above underlined words are adjectives, not interrogative pronouns because these words
are qualifying the nouns.

 POSSESSIVE PRONOUN
Possessive Pronoun: এই Pronoun দ্বারা Possession বা অররোর যবাঝার্ া হয়, যেু : Mine, Ours, Yours etc.
উদাহরণ রহর্সর্ব বের্ত পারর,
‘Jane takes pride in Jane’s Outfits.’

It sounds odd to use Jane’s name twice in this sentence. A possessive pronoun solves the
problem. We can say −
‘Jane takes pride in her outfits.’

English Language-02
 POSSESSIVE PRONOUN
Independent Possessive Pronouns :
There is also an ‘Independent’ form of each of these pronouns.
Example : Mine, Ours, His, Hers, Its, Theirs.
❑ Independent possessive pronouns must be used without a noun.
Example :
(1) My phone is dead, Pass me yours.
(2) Did you know that Labrador is mine?
(3) The house on the corner is theirs.
❑ It is common to see independent possessive pronouns at the end of clause or phrase.

উদাহরণ :
(1) I believe in myself.
(2) He does his work by himself.
(3) She is ashamed of herself.

English Language-02
 REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
❑ A reflexive pronoun can be a direct object in a sentence When the subject and the direct
object are one and the same.
Example : ‘Jack decided to reward mary. With a dinner out.
Here, Mary is the object of reward, but it we say
‘Jack decided to reward himself with a dinner out’
Then; Jack, the subject, is the object of reward. So we use ‘himself’- the reflexive pronoun.

English Language-02
 REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
Reflexive pronoun as indirect object :
Reflexive pronoun can also play the indirect, object role in a sentence.

Example : Cynthia pours a cup of tea for herself every morning.

Here, ‘herself’ is the indirect object and ‘cup of tea’ is the direct object.

English Language-02
