        1. \n
          Structure: Pronoun Types
          \n<\/strong><\/div>\n

          In the first series, we saw the use of relative pronouns (who, whom, which, whose etc.). But this time, attention is on some other pronoun types: Personal, demonstrative, interrogative<\/strong> and possessive
          \n<\/strong>
          \n\u00a0<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n
            Personal Pronouns<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

            These are words used in place of any of the three persons we have in English language<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. The first person refers to the person(s) being addressed\n<\/li>\n
            2. The second person refers to the person(s) or being addressed and;\n<\/li>\n
            3. The third person refers to the person(s) or things spoken about.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Note<\/strong> that personal pronouns have singular and plural forms and they can also be used both in the nominative or subjective as well as accusative or objective cases. The table below illustrate the personal pronouns at a glance.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

              1. \n
                Demonstrative Pronouns. <\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

                These are so called because they point out particular persons, places, or things. The English demonstrative pronouns are: this, these, that, those. “this” and “that” are singular, “these” and “those” are plural.
                \nAlso “this” and “these” point at objects that are near, while “that” and “those” are used for distant objects.
                \nExamples: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is my friend.
                \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0These are my books.

              2. \n
                Interrogative Pronouns. <\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

                Interrogative pronouns are employed or used in asking questions.
                \nExamples:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What<\/strong> is your name?
                \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Which<\/strong> of the dresses is yours?
                \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Whose<\/strong> hat is this?
                \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To whom<\/strong> did you give the letter?
                \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Where<\/strong> do you live?
                \nNote<\/strong>: The interrogative pronoun ‘which’ is used when we are making a selection from a known set of possibilities or when the choice is limited to a specific number.\n<\/li>\n

              3. \n
                Possessive Pronouns. <\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

                These are pronouns which show ownership. For example, “The house is mine” means that the house is owned by me.
                \nOther examples of possessive pronouns are his, ours, yours, theirs.
                \n<\/strong>It is important for students to note the difference between possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives.
                \nPossessive Pronoun \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Possessive Adjective
                \n<\/strong>The ruler is mine<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is my<\/strong> ruler

                \u00a0The table below illustrates the possessive words in their adjective and pronoun forms.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
