Pronoun Usage
A pronoun is a word used in place of one or more than one noun. It may stand for a person, place,
thing, or idea. There are many different kinds of pronouns.

Personal Pronouns: Interrogative Demonstrative

Subjective Objective Possessive Pronouns: Pronouns:
I me my, mine Who this
you you your, yours whom that
he him his What these
she her her, hers which those
it it its whose
we us our, ours
they them their, theirs

Indefinite Pronouns:

Singular: (one-words) (-body words) (-thing words) (others)

one nobody nothing each
anyone anybody anything either
everyone everybody everything neither
someone somebody something
Plural: several few both many
Singular or plural: any more most some

Intensive/Reflexive Pronouns: Some of the pronouns in the personal pronouns list can be
combined with -self or -selves: yourself, myself, herself, himself, ourselves.

Subjective pronouns are used as subjects, and objective pronouns are used as objects.
They are getting tired. (They is the subject of the sentence)
The clerk gave the forms to me. (me is an object; clerk is the subject)
She will leave tomorrow. (She is the subject of the sentence)
The boss gave her a raise. (her is an object; boss is the subject)

Like nouns, possessive pronouns can be used to indicate possession. Note: Do not use an
apostrophe with possessive pronouns.

When used in a sentence, a pronoun must agree in number and gender with the word that it refers
to.
Examples:
Singular: Brad brought his guitar. Ann has her lunch.
Plural: Jamie and Rebecca forgot their books.
Singular: The dog is missing its collar.

Demonstrative pronouns are either singular or plural.

Examples:
Singular: This book is hers. That is a big spider.
Plural: These books are theirs. Those spiders are huge.

However, some indefinite pronouns are always singular, some are always plural, and some may be
either singular or plural.
Examples:
Singular: Everybody took his turn in line.
Singular: Everyone on the girls' team forgot her books.
Singular: Neither of the dogs did its tricks.
Singular: Either of the boys can get his hair cut today.

Plural: Both of the girls took their cakes home.

Plural: Many people forgot their books.
Plural: Few of the dogs did their tricks.
Plural: Several of the boys can get their hair cut today.

Intensive and reflexive pronouns must refer to a previous noun or pronoun and agree in number
with the words that they refer to.
Examples:
Jack fixed the computer himself.
We were supposed to do the work ourselves.
You can finish that yourself.
The children worked on the science project by themselves.

Other important information to know about pronouns:

 The personal subjective pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they) can also be used as
subjective complements. A subjective complement is a noun or pronoun which follows a
linking verb and is the same as the subject.
Example: It was she on the phone.
 Some abbreviated sentences that express comparisons by the words than or as create problems
in determining whether to use a subjective or objective pronoun. In determining which
pronoun to use, decide whether the omitted word following the pronoun is a verb. If so, the
correct pronoun is the subjective pronoun.
Example: Bobby left earlier than I. (The omitted word would be “left” or “did” – a verb.
Consequently, the subject pronoun I is correct.)
However, if the omitted word following the pronoun is not logically a verb, try to add words
(subject and verb) before the pronoun choice. If doing so makes the sentence logical, then the
correct pronoun is the objective pronoun.
Example: The dress fits me better than (it fits) her. (Adding “it fits” in front of pronoun her
makes sense.)

 The pronouns who and whom are interrogative pronouns (introduce questions) as well as
relative pronouns (introduce subordinate clauses). Sometimes it seem difficult to know when
to use who (and whoever) and whom (and whomever). The key is to use who when the word
serves as the subject of a sentence and to use whom when the word does not serve as the
subject.
Examples:
A child who is crying can be distracting. (who is the subject of the clause “who is crying”)
Who wants to go to the store? (who is the subject of the sentence)
Whom did you ask to bring the cake? (In these two examples, the whom does not
We didn’t know whom to call? serve as the subject of either sentence.)

 Also remember to use who, whom, whoever, and whomever when referring to people. Use that
and which when referring to animals or things.
Examples:
A child who is crying can be distracting.
The dog that was hit by the car was my dog.

Exercises: Using the above guidelines, underline the correct pronoun in the following
sentences.

1. Each student brought (their, his) book

2. One boy asked us to help (him, them).

PRONOUNS

A word used in place of a Noun is called a Pronoun. It is used in order to avoid repetition of a noun
in a sentence or to point at a specific object.

Repeating the same noun again and again

● Example - Sarah has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that Sarah wants to go to
fashion school.
● Instead of using Sarah again and again in the given sentence, the pronoun, ‘She’ can be
used.

Using a Pronoun
● Sarah has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to fashion school.

Types of Pronouns

Personal Pronouns
● A personal pronoun as the name refers, is used to refer to a person, thing, or group in a
sentence.
● The person’s point of view (POV) can be shown in one of three grammatical “persons.”
● First - person – This refers to the speaker. They are talking about themselves.
● Second - person - A second-person pronoun refers to the person being spoken to. This is
when one person is talking to a second person.
● Third - person - This refers to the person being spoken of or spoken about. This is when one
person is talking about another person.
● For these three grammatical persons, there is both a singular, and a plural form depending
on whether the person is a subject or an object in the sentence.
● Example:
1. I got a new job.
2. She got a new job.
3. I gave her today’s newspaper.
● Pronouns that stand for the three persons are: me, we, us, you, he, him, she, her, it, they,
them.

Pronouns

Point to Remember
Personal Pronouns are chosen depending on whether it is a subject or an object. An easy way to
get it right, is to remove the other person, and then try the sentence. Let’s try a couple of
sentences:

In the case of a Subject pronoun

1. liked the book.

A) Her and I
B) Her and Me
C) She and I
D) She and Me

Explanation:
● Now, remove one person, and try the sentences with the pronoun.
● (Her liked the book) (I liked the book) (Her liked the book) (Me liked the book) (She liked the
book) (I liked the book) (She liked the book) (Me liked the book)
● With this, you can see that, “Her liked the book” does not sound right. It’s the same for “Me
liked the book”.
● However, “I liked the book” and “She liked the book” sounds right. Therefore, the answer is
“She and I liked the book”
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

In the case of an Object pronoun

1. The teacher gave chocolates to .

A) Her and I
B) Her and Me
C) She and I
D) She and Me

Explanation:
● When you repeat the same, you are left with (The teacher gave chocolates to me.” And (The
teacher gave chocolates to her.)
● Therefore, the answer is “The teacher gave chocolates to her and me”.

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone.

The possessive nouns are: There’s also an “independent” form

My of each of these pronouns:

Our Mine

Your Ours
Her Yours
Its Hers
Their Its

His Theirs
His

Example:
1. This is her pen.
2. This computer is not mine.
3. That house is ours.

Point to Remember
● Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.
● Mine, ours, yours, his, hers, theirs

Demonstrative Pronouns
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

● Words used for Nouns to point at something/ someone. For example – This, These, That,
Those.
● When describing things, these pronouns can be either near or far in terms of distance or
time.
● Near in time or distance: This, These.
● Far in time or distance: That, Those.

Distributive Pronouns
● Words used for individuals or objects referring to them as one at a time.
● A distributive pronoun considers members of a group separately, rather than collectively.
● It is always singular and as such it should be followed by a singular noun and verb.
● Few examples of distributive pronouns: Each, Either, Any, None, Neither, Every.

Example:
1. Each of us think the same.
2. None of these pieces match.

Reciprocal Pronouns
● The term, ‘reciprocate’ means to give in return.
● Therefore, reciprocal pronouns are used when expressing a mutual relationship between
two or more people, who are doing the same thing at that time. For example: Each Other,
One another.

Example:
1. They really love each other a lot.
2. The students shared the notes with one another.

Point to Remember
● Each other is used when there are two people.
● One another is used when there are more than two people.
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

Reflexive Pronouns

The subject and object of a sentence are the same.

● Myself ● Yourself
● Ourselves ● Yourselves
● Himself ● Herself
● Oneself ● Itself
● Themselves

Example:
1. I hurt myself.
2. The boys hid themselves.

Emphatic or Emphasizing Pronouns

Such pronouns are used to lay stress on the subject.

● Myself ● Yourself
● Ourselves ● Yourselves
● Himself ● Herself
● Oneself ● Itself
● Themselves

Example:
1. You, yourself, are responsible for your problems.

Point to Remember
● An emphatic pronoun can be removed from the sentence without affecting its core
meaning.
● A reflexive pronoun, on the other hand, is vital. The sentence wouldn’t make complete
sense on removing the reflexive pronoun.
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

Indefinite Pronouns

Words used for nouns in vague or general meaning.

● everybody ● nobody ● little

● no one ● everything ● nothing

● all ● somebody ● anybody

● someone ● anyone ● something

● anything ● some ● any

● both ● another ● much

● few

Example:
1. Many are called, but few are chosen.
2. Somebody ate my sandwich!
3. Everyone says she is beautiful inside and out.

specified object or action.
● Who ● Which

● That ● Whom

● Whose

Example:
1. We use that for people or things.
2. Have you seen those people who we met on holiday?
3. Isn’t that the woman who lives across the road from you?

Practice Questions:

Directions: In the given question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out
which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is
free from error, select 'No Error'.

1. His speech was very thought provoking and (A) well appreciated by them who attended (B) the
World Economic Forum held in (C) the capital of Japan. (D) No Error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E

Correct Option: 2

Explanation:

● We need to replace THEM with THOSE for making the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
● Because WHO is a subjective case used for the antecedent before it. If it is a subjective case,
the antecedent should also be a subjective case.
● As we know THEM is objective and the subjective case of it is THOSE. This change will make
the sentence correct.
● The correct sentence will be - His speech was very thought-provoking and well appreciated
by those who attended the World Economic Forum held in the capital of Japan.

2. The pleura that cover the exterior part of the (A) lungs and the inner walls of the chest (B)
cavity is a thin elastic membrane (C) made of phospholipids and proteins. (D) No Error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

Correct Option: 1

Explanation:

● As THAT used in part A of the sentence which is used for THE PLEURA and it is singular.
● THAT is also singular so verb used for THAT should be singular.
● We need to change COVER into COVERS to make the sentence correct as cover is a verb used
for the pleura.
● The correct sentence will be - The pleura that covers the exterior part of the lungs and the
inner walls of the chest cavity is a thin elastic membrane made of phospholipids and
proteins.

3. She does not understand that how (A) one can be employed as a stenographer (B) in such a
huge company without (C) the necessary qualification. (D) No Error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E

Correct Answer: 1

Explanation:

● We need to remove THAT from part A of the sentence for making the sentence
grammatically and contextually correct.
● Because that doesn't come before wh-word as it works as both pronoun and conjunction.
● The correct sentence will be - She does not understand how one can be employed as a
stenographer in such a huge company without the necessary qualification.

4. They forced the person who was coming (A) to the party to empty his pockets and (B) asked
him that why he had (C) not obtained the entry pass. (D) No Error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E

Correct option: 3

Explanation:
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

● We need to remove That for making the sentence correct.

● Before the Wh- pronoun we don't use that because it also works as conjunction.
● The correct sentence will be - They forced the person who was coming to the party to empty
his pockets and asked him why he had not obtained the entry pass.

5. The Norwegian Nobel Committee’s decision to award this year’s Peace Prize (A) to Abiy Ahmed,
the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, is both a (B) recognition of their efforts for peace in (C) East
Africa and a reminder of the challenges ahead for him. (D) No Error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E

Correct Option: 3

Explanation:

● The error lies in Part C of the sentence because of the wrong use of the possessive case.
● We need to replace THEIR with HIS for making the sentence grammatically and contextually
correct.
● As this possessive case is used for Abiy Ahemad we need to use "his "as its possessive case.
● The correct sentence will be - The Norwegian Nobel Committee’s decision to award this
year’s Peace Prize to Abiy Ahmed, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, is both a recognition of his
efforts for peace in East Africa and a reminder of the challenges ahead for him.

6. Jammu and Kashmir was emptied (A)/ of their tourists and the Amarnath (B)/ pilgrims at the
peak of the season (C)/ on the pretext of terror threats. (D)/ No error (E)

1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E

Correct Option: 2

mentioned or easily identified.
● The pronoun 'it' in the sentence refers to the Jammu Kashmir government.

GRAMMAR
PERSONAL PRONOUNS

Basic Rules
 A pronoun takes the place of a specific noun.
 Examples of pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them, hers, his,
who, whom, whose, which etc.
 The original noun which the pronoun replaces is called the antecedent.
 Pronouns must have clear antecedents.
 Pronouns help with the flow of one’s writing by pointing to something or someone (the
original noun or antecedent) already mentioned or named.
 Pronouns make writing concise by eliminating the need to repeat the antecedent.
Note: Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the antecedent to make the meaning clear.
 Like nouns, pronouns function as subjects or objects in sentences.
 Pronouns change form according to
o whether they are feminine or masculine.
o whether they are singular or plural.
o how they function in the sentence (subject, object, or possessive).

THE PRONOUN AND ITS ANTECEDENT MUST AGREE IN GENDER, NUMBER

AND FORM/CASE

Agreement in Gender
 If the antecedent is feminine, the pronoun must be feminine; if the antecedent is
masculine, the pronoun must be masculine.
e.g., When Natasha met Boris, she gave him a gift.

Agreement in Number
 If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun must be singular; if the antecedent is plural, the
pronoun must be plural.
e.g., Harry wanted to see the movie, but he stayed home instead.
Harry: masculine, singular; he: masculine, singular.

e.g., A student must study hard if she or he wants to succeed. > Correct
student: singular, gender unknown; she or he: singular, feminine or masculine.
A student must study hard if they want to succeed. > Incorrect
student: singular they: plural
The pronoun, they, does not agree in number with the antecedent, student.
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

 Students try to shy away from gendered language by using they to refer to a singular
antecedent. This is incorrect. Do not use they to refer to a singular antecedent.

 How to avoid gendered language
 Alternate between he and she.
 Choose the most appropriate singular pronoun.
 Use he or she; him or her; she and he; or her and him.
e.g., In this class, everyone moves at their own pace. > Incorrect
In this class, everyone moves at his and her own pace. > Correct
Every runner must train rigorously if they want to excel. > Incorrect
Every runner must train rigorously if she or he wants to excel. > Correct
 Change the antecedent to a plural noun.
e.g., In this class, the students move at their own pace. > Correct
Runners must train rigorously if they want to excel. > Correct
Students must study hard if they want to succeed. > Correct

Agreement in Form/Case
 The form/case of the pronoun must reflect how it functions in the sentence.
 If the pronoun acts as the subject it takes the nominative form/case.
 If the pronoun acts as the object, it takes the objective form/case.
 If the pronoun reflects ownership, it takes the possessive form /case.

PRONOUN FORMS AND CASES

Nominative Form Objective Form Possessive Form

Singular I Me My, mine

You You Your, yours

She, he, it Her, him, it Hers, his, its

Plural We Us Our, ours

You You Your, yours

They Them Their, theirs

Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

Nominative forms: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they

 Use the nominative form if the pronoun functions as the subject of the sentence or
clause.
 Use the nominative form when the pronoun follows a to be verb.
e.g., John always thinks before he speaks. (John=subject: nominative form, he)
He and I went shopping. (He and I = subject: nominative form)
The Nobel Prize winner was she. (nominative form follows is, a to be verb)

Objective forms: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them
 Use the objective form if the pronoun is a direct or indirect object.
e.g., The doctor spoke with my husband and me. (object: objective form, me)
When Boris met Natasha, he gave her a gift. (object: objective form, her)
A neighbor helped us. (object: objective form, us)

Possessive forms: my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, our, ours, your, yours, their, theirs
 Use the possessive form to indicate ownership.
e.g., The workers forgot their lunches.
Jane needed a calculator to do her homework.
During the storm, the house lost its roof tiles.

NOTE:
Do not confuse its, the possessive form of it, with it’s, the contraction for it is (See “Plurals and
Possessives” handout).
Do not confuse their, the possessive form of they, with there, which indicates direction.

AVOID AMBIGUOUS AND IMPLIED ANTECEDENTS

 Clarify ambiguous references by revising the sentence. Often a pronoun does not
provide enough clarity, especially if two or three subjects are involved.
e.g., Abbott told Costello that he won the prize.
This is ambiguous: he can refer to either man. To clarify, rewrite the sentence by
inserting a name or using a direct quote.
e.g., Abbott told Costello that he, Abbott, won the prize.
Abbott told Costello, “I won the prize.”
 The antecedent cannot be implied: the antecedent must be present.
e.g., As an MSU student, it struck me that there is not enough parking on campus.
>Incorrect: It cannot refer to student, so there is no antecedent for it.
As an MSU student, I am struck by the fact that there is not enough parking on
campus.> Correct: I refers to student.
Grammar Essentials For Creative Expression Guided By Mehvish Nida

 Make sure the pronoun refers to specific people or items.

It, this, and that should not be used to refer to a broad idea or an entire preceding
sentence. Instead, use a noun or phrase to express the broad idea.

MORE TRICKY SITUATIONS

Collective nouns as antecedents

 Any group that functions as a unit, such as committee, jury, crowd, corporation, is
singular; use the singular pronoun, it.
e.g., The jury reached its decision. > Correct
The jury reached their decision.> Incorrect
The committee published its agenda for the upcoming retreat. > Correct
The committee published their agenda for the upcoming retreat. > Incorrect
Xenia Corp. made a billion in profits last year. It increased profits by 25% over last
Year. > Correct
Xenia Corp. made a billion in profits last year. They increased profits by 25% over
last year. > Incorrect

Comparisons: than, as
 Use the correct form/case of pronoun when comparing persons or items.
e.g., Jack is taller than I [am]. > Correct
Jack is taller than me [am]. > Incorrect
We valued no other employee more than [we valued] her. > Correct
We valued no other employee member better than [we valued] she. > Incorrect
o How to troubleshoot: In your mind, fill in the rest of the sentence to double check the form
of the pronoun.
e.g., She cooks better than he [cooks]. Not: She cooks better than him [cooks].
I am a better cook than she [is]. Not: I am a better cook than her [is].

Compound antecedents
 If there are two nouns, one singular and the other plural, in an either-or situation, the
pronoun agrees with the noun nearer to it in the sentence.
e.g., Neither the squirrel nor the birds found their way to the bin of seed.
