PRONOUN

Divisions of Grammar Definitions - Etymology. A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun; as, "John gave his pen to James and he lent it to Jane to write her copy with it." Without the pronouns we would have to write this sentence,--"John gave John's pen to James and James lent the pen to Jane to write Jane's copy with the pen." There are three kinds of pronouns--Personal, Relative and Adjective Pronouns. Personal Pronouns are so called because they are used instead of the names of persons, places and things. The Personal Pronouns are I, Thou, He, She, and It, with their plurals, We, Ye or You and They. I is the pronoun of the first person because it represents the person speaking. Thou is the pronoun of the second person because it represents the person spoken to. He, She, It are the pronouns of the third person because they represent the persons or things of whom we are speaking. Like nouns, the Personal Pronouns have number, gender and case. The gender of the first and second person is obvious, as they represent the person or persons speaking and those who are addressed. The personal pronouns are thus declined: First Person. M. or F. Sing. Plural. N. I We P. Mine Ours O. Me Us Second Person. M. or F. Sing. Plural. N. Thou You P. Thine Yours O. Thee You Third Person. Next: M. Previous: ADJECTIVE Report Privacy SHARE ADD TO EBOOK
