Pronouns for People and Things

What are we learning today?

You will use pronouns to describe people. You will also use some and any.

Explanation

• Pronouns take the place of names. David becomes he.
• After a verb, use me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
• Possessive words show who owns something: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.
• Some words stand alone: mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs.
• Use some and something in positive sentences. Use any and anything in questions and negative sentences.

Examples

1. My brother is funny. I like him.
2. The red skateboard is hers.
3. Have you got any brothers? I haven't got any.

Remember!

• Say "taller than me".
• Its has no apostrophe. It's means "it is".
