Please check each day to get your activity for the day.  Today’s activity is on pronouns.  Follow the directions on the sheets and if possible print them out.

Study the following table:

Now study these rules:

¢ Personal subject pronouns go before the verb:

• I am at home.
• You like music.
• He wants to buy a new car.

¢ However, we place the auxiliary verb before subject pronouns in questions:

• Can you help me?
• Has she got the book?
• Does he write very often?

¢ Personal object pronouns come after verbs and prepositions:

• She loves me.
• We send you an e-mail every day.
• We go with him.

¢A possessive adjective is followed by a noun and a possessive pronoun replaces it.

• This is my It is mine.
• Your lorry is very big, but theirs is the biggest one.
• His house is enormous, but ours is very small.
