PERSONAL
PRONOUNSPOSSESSIVE
PRONOUNS
In English possessives
agree with the possessor. (Simon's book=his book) and not
with the object possessed, as, for example, in French. (Le livre de Julie=Son
livre)
Examples
Jane's brother is married to John's sister.
Her brother is married to his sister.
Possessive pronouns are not
preceded by an article.
Examples:
a. These books are yours. They are your books.
b. This camera is mine. That camera is his.
c. These photographs are mine. Those are hers.
d. Is this their picnic? No, it is ours.
e. I think this is your passport. Yes, it is yours.
REFLEXIVE
PRONOUNS| PERSON | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
| SINGULAR: | myself | yourself | himself, herself, itself, oneself |
| PLURAL: | ourselves | yourselves | themselves |
Reflexive pronouns are often
used to emphasize ( frequently in the form preposition+reflexive pronoun).
She can look after herself.
Let him speak for himself.
She told herself that she would never marry again.
He's old enough to dress himself.
