Subjective/Objective
1. A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. That noun is called the
antecedent of the pronoun. Read this sentence:
Noun
pronoun
pronoun
The carpenter forgot to take his hammer when he left.
Carpenter is the antecedent of his and he. Observe how awkward our
language would be without pronouns:
The carpenter forgot to take the carpenter’s hammer when the carpenter
left.
2. The personal pronoun indicates the person speaking (first person), the
person spoken to (second person), or the person, place, or thing spoken
about (third person).
3. Notice carefully that personal pronouns are identified as to person,
case, number, and gender; however, gender applies only in the third
person, singular. He is masculine, she is feminine, and it is neuter. Learn
the following personal pronoun chart.
