ADJECTIVES

ADJECTIVES

An adjective modifies (qualifies or limits the meaning of )

a noun or a pronoun. It answers thequestions, What kind?

Which one(s)? How many? How much?

Much space was devoted to her artwork. ( How much

space?)

The words a, an, and the are the most frequently used

adjectives. Although they are sometimes referred to as

articles or noun markers, they are really adjectives, plain

and simple.

An adjective can come before or after the noun or

pronoun it describes:

Older cards are found on the table. ( Which cards?)

Tall players and intelligent coaches were

interviewed by the interested reporter.

( Which players? Which coaches? Which reporter?)

◗ Adverbs make writing more specific and
more exact.

PRONOUNS

PRONOUNS

A pronoun is a word used in place of one or more nouns.

We use pronouns to:

◗ Refer to a noun (called its antecedent) that usually

comes before the pronoun

◗ Make our writing clearer, smoother, and less awkward

In the sentence, “Roberto feels that he can win the race,”

he is the pronoun, and Roberto is the antecedent.

In the sentence, “Terry and Jim know that they are best

friends,” they is the pronoun, and

Terry and Jim are the noun antecedents.

Types of pronouns

Types of pronouns

Personal pronouns refer to people and things. They are divided into

three categories called

first person (referring to the person who is speaking: I went to the mall),

second person (referring

to the person spoken to: Joey, can you see the bus?), and third person

(referring to anyone or anything else: Bob saw us do this assignment).

The pronouns in the two example sentences above are personal

pronouns.

The following list shows these three categories of personal pronouns:

Singular Plural

First person I, my, mine, me we, our, ours, us

(the person speaking)

Second person you, your, yours you, your, yours

(the person spoken to)

Third person he, his, him, she, her, they, their, theirs, them

(some other person hers, it, its

Reflexive pronouns

Reflexive pronouns

A reflexive pronoun is formed by

adding - self or - selves to certain

personal pronouns.

Examples of reflexive pronouns are

myself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves,

themselves, yourself and yourselves.

The sentence, “I found it myself,”

contains the personal pronoun I and

the reflexive pronoun myself.

pronouns

pronouns

An interrogative pronoun is used to ask a

question. These pronouns are which, who,

whom, and whose.

A demonstrative pronoun is used to point

out a specifi c person or thing. These

pronouns

include this, that, these, and those. In the

sentence, “Theresa, is this yours?” this is

the demonstrative

pronoun, and yours is the personal pronoun.

background image

Indefinite pronouns

Indefinite pronouns

An indefinite pronoun often does not refer to

a specific or definite person or thing. It usually

does not have a definite or specific antecedent

as a personal pronoun does. In the sentence,

Everybody will select another to help with

everything, ” the three italicized words are

all indefinite pronouns since they take

the place of a noun and do not refer to a

specifi c or definite person or thing.

These are all indefinite
