  2. Pronouns Grade Seven

  3. Definition • A pronoun takes the place of a noun. • That means it can replace a person, place, thing, or idea. • Ex. Mark could be replaced by “he” or “him.”

  4. Definition • An antecedent is the noun that the pronoun replaces. • Ex. Mark gave his lunch money to Joe. (The pronoun is “his.” “His” is replacing Mark; therefore, “Mark” is the antecedent.)

  5. Definition • First person means the person being spoken to. Ex. I am Bob. “I” is speaking in the sentence; therefore, “I” is a first person pronoun. Other first person pronouns are: we, me, us, my, mine, our, ours, myself, ourselves

  6. Definition • Second person means the person being spoken to. Ex. I saw you at the party. The person, “you” is being spoken to; therefore, “you” is a second person pronoun. • Other second person pronouns are: your, yours, yourself, yourselves

  7. Definition • Third person pronouns are being spoken about. Ex. He gave Mary a book. (“He” is being talked about; therefore, “he” is a third person pronoun.) • Other third person pronouns are: she, it, they, her, him, them, his, hers, its, their, theirs, himself, herself, itself, themselves.

  8. Qualities of Pronouns • Person (first person, second person, third person) • Number (singular, plural)
