pronOUNS
17 pronOUN AND ANTECEDENT A pronOUN is a word used instead of a noun The noun in whose stead it stands is called its ANTECEDENT
_JOHN took Mary's BOOK and gave IT to HIS friend_ In this sentence _book_ is the antecedent of the pronoun _it_, and _John_ is the antecedent of _his_
18 pronOUNS SHOULD AGREE WITH THEIR ANTECEDENTS IN PERSON, GENDER, AND NUMBER
19 PERSONAL pronOUNS are those that by their form indicate the speaker, the person spoken to, or the person or thing spoken about
pronouns of the FIRST PERSON indicate the speaker; they are: _I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours_
pronouns of the SECOND PERSON indicate the person or thing spoken to; they are: _you, your, yours_ There are also the grave or solemn forms in the second person, which are now little used; these are: _thou, thee, thy, thine_, and _ye_
pronouns of the THIRD PERSON indicate the person or thing spoken of; they are: _he, his, him, she, her, hers, they, their, theirs, them, it, its_
Few errors are made in the use of the proper person of the pronoun
20 GENDER OF pronOUNS The following pronouns indicate sex or gender; Masculine: _he, his, him_ Feminine: _she, her, hers_ Neuter: _it, its_
