Jazz Chant Pronoun

Pronouns are words that are used instead of nouns when referring to people, places, things, or ideas. There are several types of pronouns including personal pronouns like she and her that refer to people, relative pronouns like that and which that connect clauses and provide additional information, and demonstrative pronouns like this and those that point to nearby or faraway nouns. Pronouns make language more concise and help avoid repetition by replacing nouns, with the noun they are replacing called the antecedent.

PRONOUN

A pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that is used as a substitution for a noun or noun phrase
A pronoun is a word that takes place of a noun. And they make up a small subcategory of nouns
For instance, if you’re telling a story about your sister Sarah. The story will sound repetitive if you keep repeating the
word Sarah.
Sarah has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that Sarah wants to go to fashion school.
Or you could try to mix it up by referring Sarah as “my sister”.
Ah, you’re right!
My sister has always loved fashion. My sister announced that my sister wants to go to fashion school.
What?
But then it sounds like you’re referring to two different people. Instead, you can use pronouns to refer to my sister.
She has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to fashion school.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. A thousand times better. And that’s because you just used some simple pronouns.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS
The first type of pronoun is personal pronouns. She and her are known as personal pronouns. And these types of
pronouns refer to people. The other pronouns are I, me and, you, he and him, it, we, and, us, and they and them.

ANTECEDENTS
Next, we have to talk about the word antecedent. Antecedent? Yeah, antecedent. Pronouns are versatile and can refer
to anything: like a book, a person, a movie, or a feeling. An antecedent is a noun or noun phrase that is mentioned at the
beginning and later on will be replaced by a pronoun.
My family drives me nuts, but I love them. (awwww)
The noun in the sentence is family and later on its replaced by a pronoun them.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Now we have to talk about relative pronouns. And this type of pronoun connects relative clause and independent
clause. Also they present additional info about something mentioned in the sentence. Pronouns like this include that,
what, which, who and whom. Traditionally, who refers to people, and which and that refer to animals or things.
All the dogs that got adopted today will be loved. (bark, bark)
That is the pronoun and it refers to dogs.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS
That, this, these and those are demonstrative pronouns. The pronoun this is used for singular items that are nearby.
Whoa! This game is intense.
While the pronoun these is used for multiple items that are nearby.
Hmmm… Flowers like these smell nice.
That is used for singular items that are far away.
A house like that would be a nice place to live.
While those is used for multiple items that are far away.
New books came in last week. Why don’t you try reading those?

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
Indefinite pronouns are used when you need to refer to a person or thing that doesn’t need to be specifically identified.
Like none, some, anybody, everybody, one and no one.

REFLEXIVE OR INTENSIVE PRONOUN


Reflexive pronoun end in self or selves. Like myself, yourself, himself, and herself

POSSESIVE PRONOUNS
While the possessive pronouns come in two flavors. First is limiting which shows that something belongs to an
antecedent. Second is absolute which can be substituted for the thing that belongs to the antecedent.

INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
Interrogative pronouns are used in questions. The pronouns are who, what, which, and whose.
