Pronouns

I, me, mine this, that one, ones

A bit of theory

Pronouns can be:

1) Subject pronouns

I he we

you she they

it

These come before the main verb:

I think it’s awful.

Do you like this film?

2) Object pronouns

me him us

you her them

it

These come after the main verb:

I sent them a letter.

Ellen told us the answer.

3) Possessive pronouns

mine his ours

yours hers theirs

(its)

(its is not often used)

Is this pen yours or mine?

No apostrophe before s with possessive pronouns.

4) Demonstrative pronouns

this and that

singular this that

plural these those

What’s this? I’d like those, please.

With nouns

These shoes are nice. Is that blue car yours?

one/ones

I like that one.

I don’t like the blue ones.

Did you buy a loaf?’ ‘I bought a small one.’

That was a nice biscuit. Can I have another one?

Possession 1

A bit of theory

Possession means having or owning things.

Possessive adjectives

my your his her its our their

This is my bike. Those are our books.

Possessive pronouns

mine yours his hers its ours theirs

This bike is mine. Those books are ours.

We cannot say: This is mine bike.

This bike is the mine.

whose?

Whose bike is this? It’s mine.

Whose books are these? They’re ours.

Whose is this bike?

Whose are these books?

Who’s (who is) does not have the same meaning as whose (of who), but it has the same pronunciation.
