What is a proper pronoun?

A proper pronoun is a specific type of pronoun that is used to refer to a particular person, group, or thing by name. Examples of proper pronouns include "he," "she," "they," "I," and "it." These pronouns are capitalized when used as a proper noun or in place of a specific name or title.

Give an example of a proper pronoun used in a sentence.

He is going to the store to buy groceries for dinner tonight.

How do you identify the antecedent of a proper pronoun?

To identify the antecedent of a proper pronoun, you simply need to look for the noun that the pronoun is referring to in the sentence. The antecedent is the specific noun that the pronoun is replacing or referring back to. Review the sentence to match the pronoun with the noun it is replacing for clarity in understanding the meaning of the sentence.

When should you use a proper pronoun instead of a common noun?

You should use a proper pronoun instead of a common noun when you want to refer to a specific person, place, or thing by their name or specific identity, providing clarity and precision in your communication. Additionally, proper pronouns are often preferred in formal writing or speech to show respect or convey a sense of formality.

Can proper pronouns be used to refer to animals or objects?

Yes, proper pronouns can be used to refer to animals or objects, especially when personifying or attributing human-like characteristics to them. This can help create a sense of connection or empathy towards the animal or object. For example, a pet owner may refer to their dog as "he" or "she" instead of "it" to acknowledge their pet's individuality and importance in their life.

Explain the difference between a subjective and objective proper pronoun.

A subjective pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence, such as "I" or "he," while an objective pronoun is used as the object of a verb or preposition, such as "me" or "him." In other words, subjective pronouns perform the action in the sentence, while objective pronouns receive the action.

List five common proper pronouns.

He, She, It, They, I.

Can you use "it" as a proper pronoun?

Yes, "it" can be used as a proper pronoun when referring to inanimate objects, animals, or abstract concepts, such as "The computer is new, but it is already running smoothly" or "I saw a beautiful painting, and it spoke to my soul." This pronoun helps avoid repetitive or cumbersome phrasing in writing and conversation.

How do you form possessive proper pronouns?

To form possessive proper pronouns, simply add an apostrophe and an "s" after the pronoun. For example, "Mary's car" shows possession by adding the apostrophe and "s" after the proper noun "Mary." This rule applies to all proper nouns to indicate ownership or possession of something.

Give an example of a sentence using a reflexive proper pronoun.

I hurt myself while playing basketball yesterday.
