TYPES OF PRONOUNS
In general, we can say that a pronoun is a word that replaces a noun, the most
common are the subject pronouns (I, you, we, he….), object pronouns (Me, you, us,
him….) and possessive pronouns (Mine, yours, ours,his….). But there are more kinds
than only those, and today we will analyze some of them.
DEMOSTRATIVE PRONOUNS
These pronouns are used to demonstrate or indicate. This, that, these and those are
examples of demonstrative pronouns. Remember, hey substitute the non, in contrast
with the Demonstrative adjectives.
EX:
o Those are totally awesome
o Can i take that
o This is so incredible
o These are black
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
These pronouns, in function, are the opposite of the demonstrative ones; they refer to
a non specific person or object, as they don't indicate any particular noun.
EX
o Are all, any, anyone, anything, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many,
nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, and someone.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Relative pronouns are some of the Wh questions that we normally use. They are who,
whom, which and whose.
EX: o Whom/ objects belong to a person
object of the sentence.
o Who baked the cake?
o Who/ subject of the sentence/ noun/ pronoun
o Which is your dog?
o Whom/ him her
o Whom do you love? o Who/ he/i/you
o Whose is this cellphone?
REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
The reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of the sentence are the
same.
Myself - himself - herself - themselves - ourselves - itself - yourself (singular) -
yourselves (plural).
EX:
o The teacher bit himself
o She is talking to herself
o The dog is watching itself in the mirror
ACTION VERBS
Action verbs are verbs that describe what the subject of the action is doing. They are
the verbs that you have seen all your life, for example play, eat, sleep, go, watch, etc. It
is important to
understand that some verbs have more impact than others. In the sentence « The
criminals entered into the house», we can substitute.
Entered for Broke, which has more impact, without changing the meaning of the
sentence.
REGULAR VERBS
Rules for Past Tense of Regular Verbs
IRREGULAR VERBS
Irregular verbs dont follow the mentioned rules; therefore, they have to be learned
one by one individually.
LINKING VERBS
Linking verbs are another form of verbs that dont function the same as the action
verbs. They can be referred to as copulas or copular verbs. Their functions are:
To connect or link the subject of the sentence with more information about it, maybe
a descripción or something that identifies it.
A good way to identify a linking verb is to change it for an equal sin (=). If it si
logical, it is a linking verb.
Ex
o The soup looks delicious
TRUE LINKING VERBS
There are some verbs that are always linking verbs, which are all the forms of the verb
to be, and the verbs Seem and Become.
Time To be Seem Become
Present Am, is, are Seem (s) Become (s)
Past Was, were Seemed Became
