Tugas 2 : Pronouns

There are five forms of pronouns in English :
- subject pronouns => occur in the subject position of a sentences or after the verb be.
    1. I am going to the store
    2. We have lived here for eleven years
    3. Lucky and I have seen this movie before.

- complement pronouns (object) => occur in complement positions or prepositions unless the prepositions introduces a new clause.
      1. The teacher gave him a bad grade.
      2. Lucky told her a story.
      3. Lucky is going to class with me.

- possessive pronouns => These pronouns cannot precede a noun. They are pronouns and thus replace the noun. The noun is understood from the context and is not repeated.
      1. This is my car. >> This is mine.
      2. Her dress is red and my dress is blue. >> Hers dress is red and mine is blue.
      3. Our books are heavy. >> Ours books are heavy.

- possessive adjectives => Possessive adjective are not the same as possessive pronouns. These simply modify, rather than replace.
         1. Lucky is eating his lunch.
         2. This is not my car.
         3. The boy broke his arm yesterday.

- reflexive pronouns => These pronouns usually follow the verb and indicate that the subject is both giving and receiving the action.
       1. I washed myself.
       2. He sent the letter to himself.
       3. We hurt ourselves playing football.
