Pronouns: Subject, Object, Possessive & Reflexive

Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) do the action. Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) receive the action. Possessive adjectives (my, her, their...) come before a noun; possessive pronouns (mine, hers, theirs...) stand alone. Reflexive pronouns (myself, herself...) show the action returns to the subject. Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) point to something specific.

Examples

• I have a car. My car is red. This car is mine.
• She gave him the book. He thanked her.
• They have a dog. Their dog is friendly. That dog is theirs.
• I made this cake myself.
• These are my keys, and those are yours.
