Example

Pronouns

1. Subject pronouns

2. Object pronouns

4. Possessive pronouns

3. Possessive adjectives

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. We often use them to avoid repeating the nouns that they refer to. Pronouns have different forms for the different ways we use them.

The Smiths are a family. They own a big yard. The cats’ → What a mess! The cats’ food is everywhere. There is more than one cat. The cats made a mess.
