  1. CH16 Nouns and Pronouns Test Review

  2. Nouns • What is a noun? • It’s a name of a person, place, or thing/idea. • Identifying nouns: • sing/toddler/musician • toddler; musician • school/library/thought • school; library • misery/rusty/success • misery; success

  3. Common Noun vs. Proper Noun • What’s the difference? • Common nouns name ANY person, place, thing/idea. • Proper nouns name SPECIFIC person, place, thing/idea; ALWAYS capitalized. • Identifying proper from common: • agana/village/town • Agana (proper) • season/christmas/holiday • Christmas (proper) • pet/dog/laura • Laura (proper)

  4. Pronouns and Antecedents • What are pronouns (personal pronouns)? • Replacement words for nouns to help avoid repetition. • What is an antecedent? • It’s the word being replaced by the pronoun.

  5. Let’s practice identifying the antecedents… • Susan bought herself a new blouse at the sale. • Susan • The boat with the red sail is the one that won. • boat • The governor wore a black suit to his inauguration. • governor • This is not the CD I ordered. • CD • Joe asked his father to help build the tree house. • Joe

  6. Reflexive vs. Intensive • Helpful tip • Always identify the pronoun first. Reflexive and intensive pronouns ALWAYS end in –self or –selves. • Reflexive adds information to the sentence and points back to the noun/pronoun. • Intensive adds emphasis to the noun. • They’re usually not necessary in sentences.

Let’s practice identifying reflexive and intensive… • I myself have never questioned Martin’s loyalty. • myself; intensive • Tricia has always taken good care of herself. • herself; reflexive • Helen wallpapered her bedroom herself. • herself; intensive • We all enjoyed ourselves at the picnic. • ourselves; reflexive

  8. Demonstrative, Relative, and Interrogative Pronouns • Demonstrative • “Demonstrate”; point out or direct attention to something • Relative • “Connection”; brings two clauses together to make a sentence • Interrogative • BEGINS the question

  9. Practice for Demonstrative, Relative, and Interrogative Pronouns • Is that the jacket with a broken zipper? • that; demonstrative • Whose baby is crying so loudly? • Whose; interrogative • The person to whom Sally is writing is named Franklin. • Whom; relative • Jake has a pen pal who lives in New Guinea. • who; relative • Are those the apple trees Fiona mentioned earlier? • those; demonstrative
