Pronouns Take the Place of Nouns

Pronouns take the place of nouns

She replaces Mrs. Brown

His, her, they, them, we, she, or it

Careful of the antecedent

Personal pronouns refer to a noun

I, me, you, he, it, they, them

Possessive pronouns show who owns

My, mine yours hers its and ours.

Demonstratives say which ones:

This that these those hot cross buns

Interrogatives help ask what or who

Which CD belongs to whom?

Relative pronouns introduce a clause

The man who is dressed like Santa Claus

Indefinite pronouns, there are many

No one, something, anybody.

Reflexive pronouns talk about me

I can do it myself, you see

Intensive pronouns make it strong…

I, myself, can sing this song.

Conjunctions are words that join

Don’t forget the old FANBOYS

Join words and phrases and clauses together

Conjunctions are our friends forever

Say ‘em loud: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so!

Conjunctions are words that we all know!

Interjections spice it up

Ouch! Wow! Yikes! No! Gee!

That’s tough!

With a comma or an exclamation mark

Interjections add some spark.
