Lesson content
Read, practise, then check your understanding
Pronouns replace or point to noun phrases. They must have clear antecedents and appropriate case: I/he/she/we/they as subjects; me/him/her/us/them as objects. Relative pronouns introduce modifying clauses, demonstratives point, and reflexives refer back to the clause subject.
Patterns and examples
- She sent the report to him.
- The student who called left a message.
- These are mine; those are yours.
- Mira taught herself Spanish.
Notice how form and meaning work together. Read examples aloud, identify the controlling word or clause, and compare them with nearby alternatives before applying the pattern in new writing.
Practice sentences
- Replace repeated nouns with clear pronouns.
- Correct the ambiguity: When Ana met Priya, she was tired.
After answering, explain the rule in your own words and create one original sentence using the same structure.
