PRONOUNS
SUBJECT PRONOUNS
Subject pronouns replace nouns that are the subject of their clause. In the 3rd
person, subject pronouns are often used to avoid repetition of the subjects
name.
EXAMPLES

I am 16.

You seem lost.

Jim is angry, and he wants Sally to apologize.

OBJECT PRONOUNS
Object pronouns are used to replace nouns that are the direct or indirect object
of a clause.
EXAMPLES

Give the book to me.

The teacher wants to talk to you.

Jake is hurt because Bill hit him.

POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES (DETERMINERS)


Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but rather determiners. It is useful to
learn them at the same time as pronouns, however, because they are similar in
form to the possessive pronouns. Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so
they appear before the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as
pronouns do.
EXAMPLES

Did mother find my shoes?

Mrs. Baker wants to see your homework.

Can Jake bring over his baseball cards?

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive pronouns replace possessive nouns as either the subject or the object
of a clause. Because the noun being replaced doesnt appear in the sentence, it
must be clear from the context.
EXAMPLES

This bag is mine.

Yours is not blue.

That bag looks like his.

REFLEXIVE & INTENSIVE PRONOUNS


Reflexive and intensive pronouns are the same set of words but they have
different functions in a sentence.
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the clause because the subject of
the action is also the direct or indirect object. Only certain types of verbs can be
reflexive. You cannot remove a reflexive pronoun from a sentence because the
remaining sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
EXAMPLES

I toldmyself to calm down.

You cutyourself on this nail?

He hurthimself on the stairs.

Narrative Tenses
Past simple tense
Form: the simple past form of the verb. E.g. We met on holiday, we talked about
art and music, we fell in love, I asked her to marry me and when she said yes I
kissed her passionately on the lips.
Use: To explain the main events of the story in sequence. We use then, after
that, first and finally to link them up. E.g. First I finished work, then I went to
the pub, after that I had a few pints, then I sat down by the river and then I fell
asleep, after that the moon moved, and then I woke up and then an owl hooted
and after that I heard a splash and then a monster tried to grab my leg and after
that the Doctor rescued me and then he disappeared, and finally I went home.
We can also use conjunctions to link up clauses with past simple verb forms.
When is probably the most common. E.g. When I woke up, and owl hooted. Or
An owl hooted when I woke up.

Past continuous
Form: was/were + -ing E.g. We were talking about my Swiss bank account when
suddenly she pulled me close and kissed me again.
Use: To describe longer or repeated actions. Its often used to describe the
general situation at the beginning of a story. E.g. I was walking home when
something strange happened.
Also, we use it to sequence events when it is combined with the past simple. Past
continuous is the long or repeated action which is interrupted by a short, quick
past simple action. E.g. The green hand was moving towards me when suddenly
there was a blue flash and a man jumped onto the stairs next to me.
We use when or while to link the actions in a sentence. E.g. When I woke up,
the wind was blowing. The wind was blowing when I woke up. While I was
walking, something happened. Something happened while I was walking.

Past Perfect
Form: had + past participle E.g. When I arrived at the airport I realised that she
had stolen my wallet and passport.
Use: To express that an action happened before the main events of the story. E.g.
When I woke up, the moon had moved [the moon moved, then I woke up],
which is different to The moon moved when I woke up [I woke up, then the
moon moved].
Sometimes it is used a bit like present perfect, but when everything is in the
past. E.g. Ive never heard of moon goblins before But for yesterday it would be
I had never heard of moon goblins.
