is a consonant sound)

Theme 6: Pronoun

avoid repetition and make sentences more concise. Here is a detailed
overview of pronouns for pre-intermediate learners:

20
Sheroz Akhmadov’s SUCCESS TEAM - Better together writer Mr.Ali
Types of Pronouns:

​ 1.​ Personal Pronouns: These replace specific people or things.

​ •​ Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

​ •​ Example: She is my friend.

​ •​ Object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

​ •​ Example: I saw him yesterday.

​ 2.​ Possessive Pronouns: These show ownership or possession.

​ •​ my, your, his, her, its, our, their (used before a noun)

​ •​ mine, yours, hers, his, ours, theirs (used alone)

​ •​ Example: This is my book. The book is mine.

​ 3.​ Reflexive Pronouns: These refer back to the subject of the


sentence and end in -self or -selves.

​ •​ myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves,


themselves

​ •​ Example: She looked at herself in the mirror.

​ 4.​ Demonstrative Pronouns: These point to specific things or people.

​ •​ this, that, these, those

​ •​ Example: These are my shoes.

​ 5.​ Interrogative Pronouns: These are used to ask questions.

​ •​ who, whom, whose, which, what

​ •​ Example: Who is coming to the party?

​ 6.​ Indefinite Pronouns: These refer to people or things in a general


way, not specifically.

​ •​ anyone, anything, everyone, everything, someone, something,


nobody, no one, etc.

​ •​ Example: Everyone is happy today.

​ 7.​ Relative Pronouns: These connect clauses or phrases to a noun or


pronoun.

21
Sheroz Akhmadov’s SUCCESS TEAM - Better together writer Mr.Ali
​ •​ who, whom, whose, which, that

​ •​ Example: The man who lives next door is my friend.

Key Points:

​ •​ Pronouns must agree with the noun they replace in number and
gender.

​ •​ Example: John is my friend. He is very kind.

​ •​ Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of the
sentence are the same.

​ •​ Example: I did the homework myself.

​ •​ Possessive pronouns indicate ownership, and they do not need an


apostrophe.

​ •​ Example: That car is ours.

Type of Pronoun Pronouns Example

Personal Pronouns I, you, he, she, it, we, She is my teacher.


they

Object Pronouns me, you, him, her, it, us, I saw him at the store.
them

Possessive Pronouns my, your, his, her, its, This is our house.
