Pronouns
Ett pronomen är ett ord som tar ett substantivs plats. Här är de olika typerna av pronomen i det engelska språket.
Pronomen för subjekt
Subjektspronomen ersätter det substantiv som är satsens subjekt.
He would like to sit down.
They are not happy with their meal.
That building is so big it blocks the sun.
She hadn't thought about how many people would be coming to dinner.
We would like to sit at a window table.
Objektspronomen
Objektspronomen ersätter det substantiv som är objekt i meningen.
Come with us to the movies.
Take her to the hospital if she is sick
Amelia won't bring it home.
Your friend wants to play with you.
Tell him I said no thank you.
Possessiva pronomen
Possessiva pronomen ersätter substantiv som antingen subjekt eller objekt i en mening.
That bike is not hers.
His one is not the same.
Theirs is the green one.
That’s mine!
The red house is ours.
Reflexiva pronomen
Reflexiva pronomen används när subjektet i meningen är detsamma som objektet för verbet i meningen.
She hurt herselfplaying tennis.
They can cook for themselves this weekend
He blamed himself for the accident.
You can show yourself out.
Intensiva pronomen
Dessa pronomen betonar subjektet. Ett intensivt pronomen skiljer sig från ett reflexivt pronomen genom att det kan tas bort utan att meningens innebörd förändras.
The President himself ordered them to stop.
The event itself went really well.
The lawyers themselves couldn't even figure it out.
We would love to make all of the arrangements ourselves.

Indefinita pronomen refererar inte till en specifik person, mängd eller sak. De placeras på samma plats i en mening som substantiv.
