1. Mention
the Kinds of Pronoun ! Make sentences for each kind !
Generally (but not always) pronouns
stand for (pro + noun) or refer to a noun, an individual or individuals or thing or things (the pronoun's antecedent) whose identity is made clear earlier
in the text. For instance, we are bewildered by writers who claim something
like
This section will list and briefly
describe the several kinds of pronouns.
Personal
Pronouns
Personal pronoun describes a
particular person or thing or group.personal pronoun describes the person
speaking (I, me, we, us), the person spoken to (you), or the person or thing
spoken about (he, she, it, they, him, her, them)
Example
:
·
We students are demanding that the administration give us two hours for lunch.
·
The administration has managed to put us students in a bad
situation.
Demonstrative Pronouns
The family of demonstratives (this/that/these/those/such) can
behave either as pronouns or as determiners.
Example :
·
That is incredible! (referring to something you just saw)
·
He seemed to say whatever
came to mind.
Relative Pronouns
The relative pronouns (who/whoever/which/that) relate groups of
words to nouns or other pronouns (The student who studies hardest usually does
the best.). The word who connects or relates the subject, student, to the verb
within the dependent clause (studies). Choosing correctly between which and
that and between who and whom leads to what are probably the most Frequently
Asked Questions about English grammar
Example :
·
Whoever crosses this line first will win the race.
Indefinite
Pronouns
The indefinite pronouns (everybody/anybody/somebody/all/each/every/some/none/one)
do not substitute for specific nouns but function themselves as nouns (Everyone
is wondering if any is left.)
Example :
·
Few will be chosen; fewer will finish.
·
Little is expected.
2. Give the exemples for these 3 types ! There are three basic question
types
·
Yes/No:
the answer is “yes or no”
Sometimes
the only answer that we need is yes or no. Look at these examples:
auxiliary verb | subject | not | main verb | | answer: yes or no |
Do | you | | want | dinner? | Yes, I do. |
Can | you | | drive? | | No, I can’t. |
Has | she | not | finished | her work? | Yes, she has. |
Did | they | | go | home? | No, they didn’t. |
·
Question-word:
the answer is “information”
Sometimes we want more than yes or no for an
answer. When asking for information, we usually place a question-word at the
beginning of the sentence. The question-word indicates the information that we
want, for example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who (person). Look
at these examples:
question word | auxiliary verb | not | subject | main verb | | answer: information |
Where | do | | you | live? | | In Paris. |
When | will | | we | have | lunch? | At 1pm. |
Why | has | n’t | Tara | done | it? | Because she can’t. |
Who(m) | did | | she | meet? | | She met Ram. |
Who* | has | | | run | out? | Ati has run out. |
Who** | | | | ran | out? | Ati ran out.

Choice:
the answer is “in the question”
Sometimes we give our listener a choice. We
ask them to choose between two possible answers. So their answer is (usually)
already in the question. Look at these examples:
auxiliary verb | subject | main verb | | or | | answer: in question |
Do | you | want | tea | or | coffee? | Coffee, please. |
Will | we | meet | John | or | James? | John. |
