Today’s speech pronouns

Pronouns

A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase. You use them when the reader or listener knows which specific noun you’re referring to. If I tell a story about my fiancé William, it will get so boring and repetitive if I keep saying William over and over again! Look at this example WITHOUT pronouns:

William is my fiancé. William is extremely tall. William told me that William wants to marry me.

Now look at this example WITH pronouns:

William is my fiancé. He’s extremely tall. He told me that he wants to marry me.

There are quite a few different types of pronouns, and some pronouns are found in more than one category. Here are some of the most common:

Personal pronouns

I her we
Me he why
You him them
She us

Demonstrative pronouns

• that
• this
• these
• those

We also have indefinite pronouns, used when you need to refer to a person or thing that doesn’t need to be specifically identified. For example:

• one
• other
• everybody
• anybody
• nobody

Everybody loves my homemade brownies!

Some love marmite, others hate it!
