Hi and welcome back to our series of
lessons on the parts of speech,
my name is Ganesh and this lesson is
all about pronouns.
Now pronouns are a
huge topic, there are many different
types of pronouns and there are a lot of
grammar points relating to pronouns so
in this lesson we're going to focus on
the most important types of pronouns and
on how to avoid common mistakes that
people make with them.
We will start by
talking about personal pronouns then
we'll move onto reflexive pronouns and
then we'll look at indefinite pronouns
and finally we'll turn to interrogative
pronouns.
Now if these names sound scary
don't worry, by the end of this lesson
you will understand all of them and
you'll know how to use them correctly.
Before we begin
just remember if you have any questions
at all just let me know in the comments
section below and I'll talk to you there.
OK so first of all what is a pronoun? A
pronoun is a word that replaces a noun
in a sentence.
Replaces means it takes the place of a
noun. For example consider these sentences
Corey works with Paige. Cory likes
working with Paige. Corey and Paige do
many projects together.
Of course that
sounds very repetitive because we keep
saying Corey and Paige. So can you tell me
how you would improve the sentence?
You can say he likes working with her,
They do many projects together. That
sounds much more natural because we're
using the pronouns he, her and they in
the place of nouns.
And that type of
pronoun - pronouns that talk about people
are called personal pronouns because
they refer to persons even though the
pronoun it is considered a personal
pronoun.
Now personal pronouns come in
three types - subject, object and possessive
pronouns. A subject pronoun is used in
the place of a subject in a sentence. For
example in this sentence, I saw Lily
yesterday - Here which is the pronoun?
The
pronoun is I and it's a subject pronoun
because I do the action and you can
replace that with any other subject
pronoun.
You can say we saw Lilly
yesterday or he saw Lilly yesterday etc.
An object pronoun is used in the
object position in a sentence. For
example Lily saw them yesterday. Here
them is an object pronoun and you could
use any other object pronoun in that
place.
So what do possessive pronouns do?
Possessive pronouns show possession - that
means they show that you have something.
For example if I said this is our house
the pronoun our shows that this house
belongs to me and my family for example.
I could also say this house is ours
That means the same thing. Now all of
these - the whole group of personal
pronouns are actually very simple and
I'm sure you use them correctly most of
the time but there are two areas where
people commonly make mistakes with them.
The first is in using the pronouns I and me.
Of course those are the simplest but those
are also where a very common error occurs
and that is when combining I or me with
another noun or a pronoun.
For example we
know that Cory and Paige work together
but let's say that Corey wants to say
this sentence
I have four options on the
screen and I would like you to tell me
which is the correct way to say it - I and
Paige work together, Paige and I work
together, Me and Paige work together or
Page and me work together - which is
correct?
Well here we need an
object pronoun so we cannot use me.
Between the first two options the first
option is grammatically correct but the
best way to say this is Page and I work
together.
That is because when you put
the other person first
it's more respectful and in English it's
considered more polite so Paige and I
work together is the best way. Now
instead of Paige you could use any noun.
Hey there, I hope you enjoyed this lesson. Let me know if you have any questions. Also check out:

First of all, it is great the way to teach and i find it useful the only confusion i doscover is ,
Whom with Helen visit the hospital last weekend, here we are talking about the past then why "visited" is not used in place of visit, will wait for your reply. Thank you.
the person who's asking is in present and not in past so we have to use visit. . .read it from the perspective of the interrogator
