are used as replacements or substitutes for nouns and noun phras
es, and that have very
general reference, as I, you, he, this, who, what.
Pronouns are sometimes formally distinguished from nouns, as in
English by the existence of special objective forms, as him
for he or me for I, and by non
occurrence with an article or adjective.
SUBJECT PRONOUNS
Subject pronouns replace nouns that are the subject of their clause. In the 3rd person, subject pronouns are often used to
avoid repetition of the subject's name.
OBJECT PRONOUNS
Object pronouns are used to replace nouns that are the direct or indirect object of a clause.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive pronouns replace possessive nouns as either the subject or the object of a clause. Because the noun being
replaced doesn't appear in the sentence, it must be clear from the context.
INTENSIVE PRONOUNS
Intensive pronouns emphasize the subject of a clause. They are not the object of the action. The intensive pronoun can
always be removed from a sentence without changing the meaning significantly, although the emphasis on the subject will
be removed. Intensive pronouns can be placed immediately after the subject of the clause, or at the end of the clause.
SUBJECT PRONOUNS
I am 16.
OBJECT PRONOUNS
