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 ---------?

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
Slide 7
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)
Slide 8
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.

The four (4) demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these,

Slide 10
This and These refer to nouns that are nearby in time or space.
Ex. This book is mine. That and those refer to nouns that are
further away in time or space. Ex. That book over there is
