LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This lesson will help you to:—
→ use pronouns efficiently.
→ know about and use the two kinds of pronouns by knowing the difference between them.

QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
Generally , pronouns (pro + noun) stand for or refer to a  noun, an individual or individuals or thing whose identity ismade clear earlier in the sentence.

Pronouns are the words which replace noun.

For example
Paras and Amir ride the bus together to school. They also study together.
In the above sentence, “they” is a pronoun as it is used in place of individuals (Paras and Amir). Other examples can be she, it, he, someone, who etc. Here are some more examples.

Instead of: Leena is a good athlete.
She is a good athlete. (The pronoun she replaces Leena.)

Instead of: The beans and tomatoes are fresh-picked.
They are fresh-picked. (The pronoun they replaces beans and tomatoes.)

POEM

I am hungry.
You are hungry.
He is hungry.
She is hungry.
We are hungry.
They are hungry.
Everybody is hungry.
I am thirsty.
You are thirsty.
He is thirsty.
She is thirsty.
We are thirsty.
They are thirsty.
Everybody is thirsty.
I am happy.
You are happy.
He is happy.
She is happy.
We are happy.
They are happy.
Everybody is happy.

PRONOUN

Remember
→ Use a pronoun instead of noun. 
→ The pronoun you use must follow its noun in number and gender. Example:
Ram is going to market. He has to get mangoes.

(b) Reflexive pronouns: When we add ‘self’ or ‘selves’ to personal pronoun they become Reflexive pronouns.
‘Self’ is added to ‘my, your, her and him’ and ‘selves’ to ‘our, your and them’.
Example: You must do your homework ‘yourself’.
They went together themselves.

(c) Demonstrative pronouns: These point to the object they belong to.
Example: This is a book.
That is a calendar.
These are books. 
Those are calendars.

(d) Interrogative pronouns: To ask questions, the words ‘who, what, which, whose, whom’ are used. All of them are Interrogative Pronouns. They are used to begin a question. ‘who, whom, whose’ are used for persons. ‘which’ is used for persons as well as things.
‘What’ is used only for things.
Examples: Who are you ? 
What is your name ?
Which is your book ?
Whom does this glass belong to ?
The other way to classify pronouns is:

Choose the correct pronoun to fill the blank.

TOPIC- ARTICLES (A, AN, THE)

An article is a word that comes before a noun. A, AN, THE are known as articles

• We use “A” before words that begin with a consonant sound.
Eg. A pen, A car, A tree, A book etc.

• We use “An” before words that begin with a vowel.
Eg. An apple, An orange, An eraser, An egg etc.

• We use “An” before the words with a vowel sound.
Eg. An honest man, An hour, An honorable guest etc.

• We do not use “An” with some words that start with a vowel but have a consonant sound.
eg. A European, A unicorn, A uniform etc.

• We use “The” before words when we mention them the second time.
Eg. We saw a lion in the zoo. The lion was sleeping.

• We use “The” before the names of rivers, mountains, newspapers, holy books, monuments etc.
Eg. The Himalayas, The Times of India, The Ramayana, The Taj Mahal etc.

• We use “The” before the things that are special and are only one in number.
Eg. The sun, The moon, The Earth etc.

✓ We write “a” and “an” with singular words only. We write “the” with both both singular and plural words.
✓ “A” and “An” are indefinite articles but “The” is a definite article.
