Kinds of PronounsThere are six kinds of pronouns with different functions:

1. Personal pronouns

This kind of pronoun refers to a particular person or thing. The form of the personal pronoun

that is appropriate to use for a specific sentence depends on the gender and number of

persons or things that serve as the antecedents.

For example, you are referring to afemale subject in the sentence, the pronouns that are

appropriate to use are: she, her, and hers. If you are referring to amale, you can use: he,

him, and his. For a group of persons, not including yourself, the appropriate pronouns are:

they, them, and theirs.

Personal pronouns can serve as thesubjects, objects of theverb orpreposition, and can

also show possession. They are formally classified into: subjective personal pronouns,

objective personal pronouns, and possessive personal pronouns.

Examples:

You are definitely the biggest science nerd I’ve ever met.

In the example above, the underlined pronoun serves as the subject.

Harry persuaded her to comewith him.

The pronoun “her” is the object of the verb persuaded. Him, on the other hand, is the

object of the prepositionwith.

Ours is the one on the left.

The pronoun “ours” signifies possession.

2. Demonstrative pronouns

The function of this kind of pronoun is to point to a noun. Examples are: this, these, that,

and those. The pronouns “this” and “these” points to things that are nearby while the other

two are for things that are far. Aside from proximity, you must also consider the number of

things you are pointing out. For singular nouns, “this” and “that” should be used, while for

plural nouns “these” and “those” are appropriate.

Examples:

That is the car that I’ll buy for my birthday.

The speaker is pointing out to a singular noun that is far from him/her.

She said she wanted these.

The underlined pronoun refers to a plural noun and also serve as the object of the

verbwanted.

3. Indefinite pronouns

This kind of pronoun refers to unspecified things. Some examples are: any, all, another,

each, anyone, anything, anybody, nobody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, few,

and many.

Examples: Many were called for the interview but only 3 were hired.

He’s ready to give up everything for his family’s safety.

4. Intensive pronouns

The function of intensive pronouns is to give emphasis to the antecedent. Examples of this

kind of pronoun are: myself, itself, himself, herself, yourself, yourselves, themselves, and

ourselves.

Examples:

The president himself said that it was a terrorist attack. I myself knew that it was a mistake.

5. Interrogative pronouns

As the title implies, the function of this kind of pronoun is to ask questions. Examples of

interrogative pronouns are: who, what, which, whom, whoever, whatever, whichever, and

whomever.

Examples:

Who wrote the book 1984?

What did the doctors say?

6. Relative pronouns

This kind of pronoun links one clause or phrase to another. Some of the most common

relative pronouns are: who, whoever, whomever, that, and which.

Examples:

The contestant who gets the highest score wins the million dollar jackpot.

In this sentence, the underlined pronoun is the subject of the verb gets. The

subordinate clause, “who gets the highest score wins the million dollar jackpot,”

describes the nouncontestant.

He will accept whichever project comes first.

The subordinate clause, ”whichever project comes first,” serves as the object of the

verb “will accept.”

7. Reflexive pronouns



This kind of pronoun is used to refer back to the subject. Some of the reflexive pronouns

are: yourself, myself, ourselves, himself, herself, themselves, and itself.

Example:

Sandra never forgets to send a copy of the email to herself. The pronoun “herself” refers back to the subject of the sentence, which isSandra.

He promised to repair the broken fence, however, we ended up fixing it ourselves.

The underlined reflexive pronoun refers back to the subjectwe.

Indefnite Pronouns

These pronouns do not point to any particular nouns, but refer to things or people in

general. Some of them are:few, everyone, all, some, anything,and nobody. Example:

“Everyone is already here.”

Relative Pronouns

These pronouns are used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. These

are:who, whom, which, whoever, whomever, whichever,andthat. Example: “The driver who

ran the stop sign was careless.”

Intensive Pronouns

These pronouns are used to emphasize a noun or pronoun. These are:myself, himself,

herself, themselves, itself, yourself, yourselves, and ourselves. Example: “He himself is his

worst critic.”

Demonstrative Pronouns

There are five demonstrative pronouns:these, those, this, that,and such. They focus

attention on the nouns that are replacing. Examples: “Such was his understanding.” “Those

are totally awesome.”



Interrogative Pronouns

These pronouns are used to begin a question:who, whom, which, what, whoever,

whomever, whichever,and whatever. Example: “Who will you bring to the party?”

Reexive Pronouns

There is one more type of pronoun, and that is thereflexive pronoun. These are the ones

that end in “self” or "selves." They are object pronouns that we use when the subject and

the object are the same noun.

• I told myself not to bet all my money on one horse.

• The robber hurt himself chasing me through the alley.

We also use them to emphasize the subject.

• Usually, the guy I borrowed the money from will send an employee to collect the

money, but since I owed so much, he himselfcame to my house.

As we said before, adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun

and we should know that not all adjectives are the same. They modify nouns and



pronouns differently, and just like the other parts of speech, there are

:different kinds of adjectives. These are

Descri*ptive Adjectives

Among the different kinds of adjectives, descri.ptive adjectives are probably

the most common ones. They simply say something about the uality or the

.kind of the noun or pronoun they!re referring to

"#amples

.Ahmed is witty

.$ am tired

.%essi&s refle#es are ama'ing

Adjective of Number (Quantity

As the name suggests, this kind of adjective answers the

()uestion, *+ow many) or *+ow much

"#amples

Twenty-one students failed the e#am

.The plants need more water



Demonstrative Adjectives

-emonstrative adjectives point out pronouns and nouns, and always come

.before the words they are referring to

"#amples

.$ used to buy this kind of shirts

.hen the old man tripped over that wire, he dropped a whole bag of groceries

Poss*essive Adjectives

./bviously, this kind of adjectives shows ownership or possession

.Aside from that, possessive adjectives always come before the noun

"#amples

.$ can!t answer my seatwork because $ don!t have a calculator

.Adam sold his car



Interrogative Adjectives

.$nterrogative adjectives ask uestions and are always followed by a noun

"#apmles

?What movie are you watching

)ich plants should be placed over here

Adverbs of Manner

This kind of adverb describes themanner by which something was done or something

happened. Adverbs of manner answer the question “How?”

Examples:

1. The students measured the volume of the chemicalsaccurately.

The italicized adverb describes the verb “measured.”

2. She walks gracefully.

Gracefullymodifies the verb “walks.”

Adverbs of Place



Adverbs of place simply answer the question “Where?” Here are some examples:

1. Heisenberg lookedaway from the dead body.

The adverbawayanswers the question, “Where did Heisenberg look?”

2. They built a huge toy factorynearby.

The adverbnearbyanswers the question, “Where did they build the huge toy factory?”

You will notice based on these examples that adverbs of place can be placed right after the

verb or after the object of the verb.

Adverbs of Time

Aside from answeringwhen an event occurred, adverbs of time also answer questions like,

“How long?” and “How often?”

Examples:

1. Syndra lived in Germanyfor a year.

For a year tellshow long something happened (how long Syndra lived in Germany).

2. I’m going to the dentisttomorrow.

The adverbtomorrow indicateswhen something will be done.



Adverbs of Degree

This kind of adverb indicates thedegree at which something will be done. It tells something

about theintensity.

Examples:

1. You didn’t tryhard enough.

Hard enough is an adverb pertaining to the verb, “try.”

2. The temperature of the room wasextremely

Extremelydescribes the adjective, “high.”

Question 3: What are the Most Important Tips for Using Adverbs?

Sometimes, students know what adverbs are but don’t know how to use them properly. So

here are the most useful tips that you should keep in mind:

1. In writing an adverb of manner, you must never write the adverb in between the verb

and the object of the verb.

Example (from above):

The students measuredaccurately the volume of the chemicals. (wrong)

The students measured the volume of the chemicalsaccurately. (correct)

The first sentence is wrong because the adverb is located somewhere between “measured”

(verb) and “volume” (object of the verb).



2. Know when to use the comparative or superlative forms of adverbs. Words

likemoreorlessare added to the main adverb when comparing two

things.Most orleast are used if there are three or more things to compare.

Examples: most often; more frequently

3. Not all words ending in –ly are adverbs. This is pretty obvious, but some students

assume that a word is an adverb just because it ends in –ly.

4. Do not overly use adverbs. If there are single alternative words, you can use those.

Examples:

Instead ofwalk heavily –> trudge

Instead ofate hurriedly –>gobbled

Adverbs can be sorted into the kinds of questions they answer.

• Adverbs of manner answer the question, “How?” She watched the children carefully.

• Adverbs of time answer the question, “When?” I always arrive early for my

appointment.

• Adverbs of place answer “Where?” Why don’t you play outside?

• Adverbs of degree answer “How much?” After the trip, I was totally exhausted.

• Adverbs of frequency would answer the question “How often?” We watch

movies occasionally.

AdverbJust like adjectives, adverbs are also used to describe words, but the difference is that

adverbs describe adjectives, verbs, or another adverb.

The different types of adverbs are:

Adverb of Manner– this refers to how something happens or how an action is done.

Example: Anniedanced gracefully.

The word “gracefully” tells how Anniedanced.

Adverb of Time- this states “when” something happens or “when” it is done.

Example: She came yesterday.

The italicized word tells when she “came.” Adverb of Place– this tells something about “where” something happens or ”where”

something is done.

Example: Of course, I looked everywhere!

The adverb “everywhere” tells where I “looked.”

Adverb of Degree– this states the intensity or the degree to which a specific thing

happens or is done.

Example: The child isvery talented.

The italicized adverb answers the question, “To what degree is the child talented?”

6. Preposition

InterjectionThis part of a speech refers to words which express emotions. Since interjections are

commonly used to convey strong emotions, they are usually followed by an exclamation

point.

Examples of Interjections:

Sample Sentences:

Ouch! That must have hurt.

Hurray, we won!

Hey! I said enough!

The bold words attached to the main sentences above are some examples of interjections.

Verb types

Verbs vary by type, and each type is determined by the kinds of words that follow it and the

relationship those words have with the verb itself. There are six types: intransitive, transitive,

infinitives, to-be verbs, and two-place transitive (Vg- verb give), and two-place transitive (Vc- verbconsider).!"

#ntransitive verbs

$n intransitive verb is one that does not have a direct ob%ect. #ntransitive verbs may be followed by

an adverb (a word that addresses how, where, when, and how often) or end a sentence. &or

example: 'The woman spoke softly.' 'The athlete ran faster than the official.' 'The boy wept .'

inking verbs

$ linking verb cant be followed by an adverb or end a sentence, b*t instead m*st be followed by a

no*n or ad%ective, whether in a single word or phrase. +ommon linking verbs

incl*deseem, become, appear , look , and remain. &or example: 'is mother looked worried.'

'osh remained a reliable friend.' Therefore, linking verbs link the ad%ective or no*n to the s*b%ect.

$d%ectives that come after linking verbs are predicate ad%ectives, and no*ns that come after linking

verbs are predicate no*ns. !"

Transitive verbs

$ transitive verb is followed by a no*n or no*n phrase. These no*n phrases are not called predicate

no*ns, b*t are instead called direct ob%ects beca*se they refer to the ob%ect that is being acted *pon.

&or example: 'y friend read the newspaper.' 'The teenager earned a speeding ticket.'

$ way to identify a transitive verb is to invert the sentence, making it passive. &or example: 'The

newspaper was read by my friend.' '$ speeding ticket was earned by the teenager.'
