Pronouns

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun or another pronoun.

Personal pronouns take different forms depending on how they are used in sentences. The form of a pronoun is called its case.

There are three pronouns cases :: nominative, objective, and possessive.

Nominative and Objective Cases

-          Nominative Case = Personal pronouns that functions as subjects or as predicate nominatives.

·         Ex. I like doing the review sheets. It is fun !! -_____- [[I & it are subjects]]

      Memian and she are in the same class. [[she – compound subject]]

-          A predicate pronoun also takes the nominative case. [[it follows a linking verbs and renames the subject of the sentence]]

·         Ex. It was she who did all the review sheet [[she – predicate pronoun]]

Nominative Pronoun Forms
	1st Person	2nd Person	3rd Person
Singular	I	You	He, she, it
Plural	We	You	They

-          Objective Case = Personal pronouns that functions as directs & indirect objects, or the objects of prepositions.

·         Ex. Oranas the inertia, MeMian’s friend, helped her. [[her – direct object]]

Oranas gave her something. [[her – indirect object]]

Most of MeMian’s friends are nice to her. [[her – object of preposition]]

-          Also use the objective case of the pronoun when it’s part of a compound object construction.

·         Ex. Oranas gives the flower to both Mike and her.

[[Mike and her – compound  subject preposition]]

Objective Pronoun Forms
	1st Person	2nd Person	3rd Person
Singular	Me	You	Him, her, it
Plural	Us	You	Them

Possessive Cases

-          Possessive Case = Personal pronouns that show ownership or relationship.

Possessive Pronouns
	1st Person	2nd Person	3rd Person
Singular	My, mine	Your, yours	Him, her, hers, its
Plural	Our, ours	Your, yours	Their, theirs

-          Possessive pronouns can be used in two ways …

1.      They can be used in place of noun [[& can function as a subject/object]]

·         Ex. I need a book on MeMian myths.

Can I borrow yours? Mine is at home.

[[yours – direct object & mine – subject]]

2.      They can be used to modify a noun or a gerund [[& comes before the noun/gerund it modifies]]

·         Ex. We learned her history through our reading.

[[her history – noun & our reading – gerund]]

-          Don’t use a possessive pronoun with a participle.

·         Ex. Our friend watched us reading books.

Using ‘Who’ and ‘Whom’

-          The case of the pronoun who is determined by the function of the pronoun in the sentence.

Forms of Who and Whoever
Nominative	Who, whoever
Objective	Whom, whomever
Possessive	Whose, whosever

-          Who is in the nominative form of the pronoun.

In questions, who is used as a subject or as a predicate pronoun.

·         Ex. Who knows the story of MeMian, a review sheet maker of freshmen -___-?

[[who – subject]]

The review sheet maker is who? [[who – predicate pronoun]]

-          Whom is the objective form.

In a question, whom is used as a direct/an indirect object of a verb or as the object of a preposition.

·         Ex. Whom did MeMian ask? [[whom – direct object]]

She told whom the secret of her review sheet? [[whom – indirect object]]

-          Use who when the pronoun is the subject of a subordinate clause.

·         Ex. It’s the gay singer who is singing a scary song. =[]=

[[who – subject & is singing a scary song – subordinate clause]]

-          Use whom when the pronoun is an object in a subordinate clause.

·         Ex. The singer whom we all love is a gay -____-

[[whom – direct object & we all love – subordinate clause]]

Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

-          A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number, gender, and person.

·         An antecedent is the noun/pronoun that a pronoun refers to or replaces.

-          Agreement in Number

·         Agreement with Compound Subjects

= use a plural pronoun to refer to nouns or pronouns joined by and.

ð  Ex. Vicky and Nas get scare when they hear Fon sings.

= a pronoun that refers to nouns/pronouns joined by or or nor should agree with the noun or pronoun nearer to it.    

ð  Ex. Neither Nas nor Vicky’s friends fail their test.

·         Agreement with Collective Nouns

= a collective noun may be referred to as a singular or plural pronoun [[the number of the collective noun is determined by its meaning in the sentence]]

Use a singular pronoun if it names a group of acting as a unit.

ð  Ex. The family finally gives its support to Oranas -__-.

Use a plural pronoun if it shows the members or parts of a group acting individually.

ð  Ex. MeMian’s family talk about their plans to have dinner outside =[]=.

-          Agreement in Gender and Person

·         Gender refers to the masculine [[he, him, his]], feminine [[she, her, hers]], or neuter forms [[it, its]] of personal pronouns.

ð  Ex. Chatrinya, the review sheet maker, brings her sheets to the school.

Indefinite Pronouns as Antecedents

-          A personal pronoun must agree in number with the indefinite pronoun that is its antecedent. [[it usually doesn’t have an antecedent]]

Indefinite Pronouns
Singular	Plural	Singular or Plural
Another              Much Anybody            Neither Anyone              Nobody Anything            No one Each                   Nothing Either                  One Everybody         Somebody Everyone           Someone Everything          Something	Both Few Many several	All Any More Most None Some

-          Agreement with Indefinite Pronouns

·         Use a singular pronoun to refer to a singular indefinite pronoun

ð  Ex. Each story has its own ending.

      Everyone has his or her favorite story.

·         Use a plural pronoun to refer to a plural indefinite pronoun

ð  Ex. Both of the students have their own books.

      Only a few of us brought our books to class =___=

-          Indefinite Pronouns That Can Be Singular or Plural

·         Use the meaning of the sentence to determine whether the indefinite pronoun is singular or plural.

ð  Use the intervening prepositional phrase to help u decideee

Ex. None of the girl has lost her book.  [[singular]]

      Most of the girls have their own books. [[plural]]

Pronoun Reference Problems

-          The referent of a pronoun should always be clear.

1.      Indefinite Reference = a problem that occurs when the pronoun it, you, or they doesn’t clearly refer to a specific antecedent.

~ it can be fixed by rewording the sentence and eliminating the pronoun or by replacing the pronoun with a noun.

Ex. In the “Superhero” article, it discussed only three women      … revise to …

      The “Superheroes” article discussed only three women.

2.      General Reference = problem occurs when the pronoun it, this, that, which, or such is used to refer to a general idea rather than to a specific antecedent.

~ it can be fixed by rewriting the sentence.

Ex. The sidekick is weak and vulnerable, which makes the character appealing      … revise to …

       The sidekick’s weakness and vulnerability make the character appealing.

3.      Ambiguous Reference = problem occurs when a pronoun could refer to two or more antecedents.

~ it can be fixed by rewriting the sentence to clarify what the pronoun refers to

Ex. Oranas and Memian were reading books. She ate snack while reading as well      ... revise to ...

      Oranas and MeMian were reading books. MeMi ate snack while reading as well.

Other Pronoun Problems [[I think this lesson, Ma’am kong mai test much a =3=]]

-          Pronouns can be used with an appositive, in an appositive, or in a comparison.

-          Pronouns and Appositives

·         An appositive = a noun or a pronoun that follows another noun or pronoun for the purpose of identifying/explaining it.

ð  Ex. Vicky, my friend, get a good score in grammar test.

·         We and Us with Appositives

= we .. the nominative case n’ used when the pronoun is a subject.

= us .. the objective case n’ used when the pronoun is an object.

ð  Ex. We artists dream about creating our sport day theme.

[[artists – appositive]]

      Don’t tell us beginners that it’s impossible. [[beginners – appositive]]

·         Pronouns in Appositives = a pronoun used as an appositive is in the case it would take if the noun were missing

ð  Ex. The teacher told the students, Oranas and him, for the test score.

      [[Oranas and him – appositive]]

~ The pronoun case is determined by the function of the noun it identifies.

-          Pronouns in Comparisons

·         A comparison can be made using than or as to begin a clause.

ð  Ex. Oranas is more clumsy than I am. > <

      No one looks as ting tong as she does.

·         When we omit some words from the final clause in a comparison, the clause is called elliptical

ð  Ex. I know she would be smarter than I.

Other Kinds of Pronouns

-          A reflexive pronoun refers action back upon the subject and adds information to the sentence. [[it must have an antecedent]]

·         Ex. MeMian prepared herself for the test.

-          An Intensive pronoun adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun in the same sentence.

·         Ex. MeMian herself forgot the grammar book.

-          Demonstrative pronouns point out specific persons, places, things, or ideas.

They are :: this, these, that, and those.

·         Ex. The students who read the books will get better grade than those who’re lazy.

-          An interrogative pronoun is used to ask a question.

Ex. What is your GPA ? [[what – interrogative pronoun]]

-          A relative pronoun is used to introduce subordinate clauses.

Ex. The books that the students asked for were lost.

      [[books – antecedent & that – relative pronoun]]

Interrogative and Relative Pronouns
Interrogative	Who, whom, whose, which, what
Relative	Who, whom, whose, which, that

Verbs

A verb expresses an action, a condition, or a state of being.

            The two main types of verbs are action verbs and linking verbs.

1.      An action verb expresses action. The action may be physical or mental.

Ex. MeMi types her review sheets.  [[types – physical]]

      Everyone expects to get full score in the exam. [[ expects – mental ]]

ð  When an action verb appears with  direct object, it’s called a transitive verb

Ex. A boy takes the grammar exam.

ð  When an action verb doesn’t have an object, it’s called an intransitive verb

Ex. He cries out loud as he knows the score. [[no object]]

2.      A linking verb links the subject or a sentence to a word in the predicate. 

Forms of To Be

is, am, are, was, were, been, being

Verbs that Express Condition

look, smell, feel, sound, taste, grow, appear, become, seem, remain

-          Auxiliary verbs, also called helping verbs, are combined with verbs to form verb phrases.

Ex. We should read grammar book -__- [[should – auxiliary verb,, read – main]]

Common Auxiliary Verbs

be, can, have, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would

·         Note that some of auxiliary verbs can be used as main verbs.

The Principal Parts of a Verb

-          Every verb has four principal parts :: the present, the present participle, the past, and the past participle. We use them to make all of a verb’s tenses and forms.

The Four Principal Pars of a Verb
Present	Present Participle	Past	Past Participle
talk	[is] talking	talked	[has] talked
eat	[is] eating	ate	[has] eaten

-          There are two kinds of verbs – regular and irregular.

1.      A regular verbs is a verb that forms its past and past participle by adding –ed or –d to the present. [[Ex. look -> looked]]

2.      Irregular verbs are verbs which the past and past participle are formed in some other way than adding –ed or –d.

[[ rao mai type da whole table of common irregular verbs na .. lazii ]]

Forming Verb Tenses

-          A tense is a verb form that shows the time of an action or a condition.

-          Simple Tenses

·         The present tense shows that an action or a condition

ð  occurs regularly or is generally true

Ex. Good books give us some morals.

ð  is occurring in the present

Ex. I have the new book by .. MeMian =P

ð  occurs regularly

Ex. Every night, I read my own review sheet.

·         The past tense shows that an action or a condition occurred in the past

Ex. Oranas got full score in the test last week.

·         The future tense shows that an action or a condition will occur in the future

Ex. Everyone will get a very good score in this exam =]

-          Prefect Tenses

·         The present prefect tense shows that an action or a condition

ð  was completed at one or more indefinite times in the past

Ex. Chatrinya has typed several RS under the pen name of MeMiann*

ð  began in the past and continues in the present

Ex. She has done more than 50 RS since last year.

·         The past perfect tense shows that an action or a condition in the past preceded another past action or conditions

ð  Ex. MeMian had typed 5 RS that were used by Ma’am Bonnie in the test.

·         The future perfect tense shows that an action or a condition in the future will precede another future action or condition.

ð  Ex. By next year, I will have done more than 150 RS !!

Using Verb Tenses

-          About the Present

·         Simple present = shows an action/a condition that is continuously true

·         Present progressive = shows action that is now in progress

·         Present perfect = shows an action/a condition that began in the past and continues into the present

·         Present perfect progressive = shows an action that began in the past and is still in progress

-           About the Past

·         Simple past = shows actions that were completed in the past

·         Past progressive = shows actions the continued over time in the past

·         Past perfect = shows an action in the past that came before other actions in the past

·         Past perfect progressive = shows an action that was in progress in the past when another action happened

-          About the Future

·         Simple future = shows a condition that will occur in the future

·         Future progressive = shows an action that will be in progress in the future

·         Future perfect = shows an action in the future that will occur before another action

·         Future perfect progressive = shows an action in a progress in the future when another action will happen

Shifts in Tense

-          Some situations require us to shift tenses within a sentence [[use different tense in one sentence a -__-]]

·         Ex. MeMi was typing review sheet about grammar when someone called her to ask about the homework.

Active and Passive Voice

-          When a verb’s subject performs the action expressed by the verb, the verb is in the active voice.

·         Ex. A group of 22 students took the exam.

-          When a verb’s subject receives the action expressed by the verb, the verb is in the passive voice.

·         Ex. The exam was taken by a group of 22 students.

The Mood of a Verb

-          The mood of a verb conveys the status of the action or condition it describes.

1.      Indicative mood = use to make statements and ask questions

ð  Ex. I like to eat chocolate.

     Why is chocolate so yum ?

2.      Imperative mood = use to make a request or give a command

[[subject you is usually omitted]]

ð  Ex. Be quiet

      Stop asking me tingtong questions.

3.      Subjunctive mood = use to express a wish or state a condition that is contrary to fact. It’s also used in sentences that give a command or make a request.

ð  Ex. I wish I were you, so that I don’t have to do any RS !!

      The school requires that students be in the homeroom by 7 A.M.
