Nouns and pronouns

1Kinds of nouns

  • Common: any person, place or thing.
  • Proper: one special name, with a capital letter.
  • Collective: a group.
  • Abstract: a feeling or idea you cannot touch.
Example

teacher, river (common)
Kruger Park, Zodwa (proper)
a herd of elephants (collective)
freedom, anger (abstract)

2Personal pronouns

A subject pronoun does the action. An object pronoun receives it.

  • Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
  • Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Example

Zoe and I walked home.
The coach picked Zoe and me.

3Possessive pronouns

A possessive adjective comes before a noun. A possessive pronoun stands alone.

  • my, your, his, her, its, our, their
  • mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs
Example

This is my desk.
That desk is mine.

4Reflexive pronouns

A reflexive pronoun ends in self or selves. The doer and the receiver are the same.

  • myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself
  • ourselves, yourselves, themselves
Example

The lion cleaned itself.

5Demonstrative pronouns

A demonstrative pronoun points to something.

  • this, these: near
  • that, those: far away
Example

These are ripe.
Those are not.

6Relative pronouns

A relative pronoun joins extra information to the noun just before it.

  • who: people; which: animals and things
  • whose: belongs to; that: any of these
Example

The river which flows past the farm is full.
The boy whose bike was stolen is upset.
