Revision on Pronoun and Uses - SS3 English Lesson Note

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Pronouns are used in English to avoid repeating nouns, to add variety to speech and writing, and to make sentences more concise.

There are many different types of pronouns, including personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and demonstrative pronouns.

Personal pronouns refer to people or things. They are used as subjects, objects, and complements in sentences. Some examples of personal pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.

Possessive pronouns show ownership. They are used to indicate who or what something belongs to. Some examples of possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs.

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence. They are used to emphasize the subject or to add emphasis to the sentence. Some examples of reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, and themselves.

Demonstrative pronouns point to or identify specific people or things. They are used to replace nouns that are already known to the reader or listener. Some examples of demonstrative pronouns are: this, that, these, and those.

Pronouns are an important part of English grammar. By understanding the different types of pronouns and how they are used, you can improve your writing and speaking skills.
