Slide 4

A pronoun takes the place of a noun. Writers must use the correct pronoun so that readers clearly understand which noun each pronoun is referring to Which is its ---------?

Slide 5

Ante- is Latin for before and cedere Latin for to go So a pronoun replaces a noun that goes before it Example: Nate won his money today! The proper noun, Nate, is being replaced by the pronoun his.

Slide 6

Pronouns must agree with the noun they are replacing in gender and in number. For example, you would not write that Nate won her money today! OR Nate won their money today! The first would not agree in gender and the 2 nd would not agree in number

Personal Pronouns in English are used to replace nouns that refer to people. Personal Pronouns can be used as the sentences subject or objective. Ex.s: I - I went to the store. (Subj) We - We went to the store. (Subj) Her - Al is going to give her the books soon. (Obj)

English doesn't have singular and plural forms of "you". "You" is used for both male and female and singular and plural. Do you understand? This is why some people use the slang - Yall or Youse guys for the plural use.

They answer who?
