  • Types of Pronouns | Rules when using Pronouns | Pronoun and Adjective confusion| Grammar with Ease
    This lesson does many things. It gives you all types of pronouns there are in one go. It will teach you the rules to identify pronouns as replacements of nouns and show you how to use them correctly with subject verb agreement. It will also show you how to guard against the common error of confusing pronouns with adjectives. It quickly tells you the difference between emphatic and reflexive pronouns which is another confusing area. It also deals with the relative pronoun in subordinating clauses. It is logical, clear and progressive. Not to be missed.

    any comprehensive book of grammar you suggest to teaching community from your own lot though we learnt that (from your talks/teachings) it is the practice and indulgence into language that makes one become near to perfection..

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  Год назад

      You will get many comprehensive grammar books in the market. But as rightly understood, practice is essential for absorption and to make connections. So I recommend my Langauge with Ease books for practice The 6 & 7 books are fairly advanced. Daily practice will make perfect and these books give you the fodder.

      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  Год назад

      Relative pronouns (who, whom, that) can also be conjunctions when they join to clauses. e.g. Who is coming? (who stands for a person) It is a relative pronoun.
      The girl who is in the pink dress is my sister. ('who' joins the 2 clauses - the girl is my sister /the girl is in the pink dress. Here 'who' replaces the repeated second noun 'the girl', hence relative pronoun but also conjunction)

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  4 года назад +2

      Oh did I? If there is a noun after it, it is an adjective. some people - adjective; there were some - pronoun. I think I have repeated that bit over and over, so I hope my slip is forgiven.

    Ma'am could you please explain how neither, such,none be demonstrative pronouns. In school text books it is given as so.

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  3 месяца назад

      Any word is a pronoun if it replaces a noun. It is demonstrative if it points to or indicates something. So you have to see what work those words are doing in the sentence.
      example: None are spoilt. Here 'none' stands for a noun that has been referred to earlier. maybe mangoes.
      But what is it demonstrating? nothing.
      Demonstrative pronouns are words like this, that, these, those. Just 4 of them. So the book is wrong.

    What is the difference between relative pronoun and subordinate conjunction?

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  2 года назад

      In the case of 'who/which/that' they are relative pronouns because they stand for the noun and relate it to the following phrase or clause. e.g. The man who is in the black coat is the celebrity. But it is also the subordinating marker or conjunction (which man?) that begins the adjectival clause, isn't it? So there is no difference. Both labels show what the word does.

    Mam what about the following example-
    This is Ram's pen
    Here Ram can be replaced by the word his. Here 'his' is an adjective but at the same time as per the rule, 'his' here is a pronoun also as Ram(noun) is replaced by his(pronoun). Isn't it??

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  2 года назад +1

      yes the word 'his' has a dual function. We could say his bag or the bag is his. We distinguish this by naming the first one a possessive adjective and the second a possessive pronoun.
      This happens only with 'his' and 'its' In all others the pronouns are distinct : mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs.
      The possessive adjective has a pronominal function in that it replaces Ram's which is both a proper noun and a possessive adjective.
      One of the complications of grammar.

      March is a proper noun as the name of a month. You can answer a quesiton with a noun if you want to. But yes, in the answer to this question, it has an adverb function.
      BUt if i said March 12 is an important day. It will not have any adverb function. It will be a noun. So nouns can have adverb or adjectival functions.

      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  2 года назад

      Good question. Words do not have any function, it is their work in the sentence that gives them their names.
      1. That (as a conjunction) joins two phrases or clauses e.g. She said that she was sick. (she said /she was sick) This is for a noun clause. Answers what? said what? that......
      2.That as relative or adjective clause describes the noun in the sentence. The car that is brown is mine. Which car? That is brown. That is normally used for things and 'who' for people.
      3. That as a demonstrative adjective points out to something far away (That bag, that girl that tree)
      4. That as demonstrative pronoun has no noun after it. (that is mine, that is not fair, that is good ) It stands for some noun or noun phrase or clause hence pronoun.
      so check out what the word 'that' is doing in the sentence.

    • @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher
      @TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher  2 года назад

      Both are correct in conversational usage.
      But I is the correct formal form. The grammar in it is this: I is a subject pronoun and me is the object pronoun. We never say 'He loves I' do we? We say: He loves me. Both he and me are two different people.
      'It' is the impersonal pronoun referring to a situation or a person e.g. It is cold. (the weather) or It is he who went there. (the person)
      It is I - here it refers to 'I'. exactly like: It is he, It is we etc.
      The I here is the same as 'it' so behaves like a complement.
      You would follow it with a relative clause that refers to 'I' not me. e.g. It is I who am here. Who is there? I am (not me am)
