Welltoday

  of pronouns.

Interrogative Pronouns

• What does the term interrogative pronouns remind
  you of?

6
Interrogative Pronouns

• An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun used to
  introduce an interrogative sentence.
• Simple, right?

7
Who versus whom?

• The interrogative pronouns who and whom both
  refer to people.
• Who is used when the interrogative pronoun is the
  subject of the sentence.
• Who borrowed the book? (subject)
• Whom is used when the interrogative pronoun is
  the object of a verb or preposition.
• Whom did the Librarian call? (Direct object)
• For whom did you borrow the book? (OP)

8
Which and What

• Which and what are used to refer to things and
  ideas.
• What is that smell?
• Which piece of meat do you
  want?

9
Whose

• Whose shows when someone
  owns something.
• I found a copy of 8th Grade Students are
  Awesome. Whose is it?
• When writing, be careful not to confuse whose
  with whos. Whos is a contraction for who is.
  (Break it apart to figure out which one
  
• you need!)

10
Using Interrogative Pronouns

• From (who/whom) did you get that copy?
• (Who, Whom) taught Pip about books?
• With (who/whom) does Pip live?
• (Who/whom) does Pip meet?
• (Whos/Whose) Miss
• Havisham?

11
Remember

• Interrogative Pronouns are pronouns used to
  introduce an interrogative sentence.
• Who is a subject/whom is an object
• Dont confuse whose and whos.

12
Demonstrative Pronouns

• If you thought that interrogative pronouns were
  easy, just wait for this
• Demonstrative Pronouns are pronouns that point
  out something.
• Thats itnothing more!

13
Recap

• Before we beginlets recap
• What is near? What is far?
• Near and Far

14
Demonstrative Pronouns are EASY!

• The demonstrative pronouns are
• This (singular) and these (plural) refer to
  something nearby.
• This cherry pie
• That (singular) and those (plural) refer to
  something far away.
• That apple pie

15
Demonstrative Pronoun Examples

• This is a good book. (singular, close)
• These are good, too. (plural, close)
• That is a boring book. (singular, far)
• Those are boring, too. (plural, far)

16
But Remember

• If this/that, these/those falls before a NOUN, it
  is acting as an ADJECTIVE, not a PRONOUN!
• Adjective That book is
  interesting.
• Pronoun That doesnt look interesting at all!

17

1. (This, Those) is Caseys favorite book.

And just for fun

• A pronoun is like a stunt double in a movie. It
  is the stand in for the regular noun.
• When a noun is about to wear itself out in a
  sentence, a pronoun can hop in!
• A pronoun is a word that takes the place of one
  or more nouns and the words that describe those
  nouns. (Or, it is a word that stands in for a
  noun!)
• Pronouns that are used to refer to people or
  things are called personal pronouns.
• Personal pronouns are singular or plural.
• Some personal pronouns are used as the subjects
  of sentences.
• Some personal pronouns are used as the objects of
  verbs (direct objects!) or prepositions!
• The antecedent is the noun that the pronoun takes
  the place of or stands for.
• The pronoun almost always refers to the noun
  closest to it. If you put pronouns in odd
  places, its hard to tell what the antecedent is.
• Subject pronouns are used in the nominative case,
  even if it is a compound subject.
• Object pronouns are used in the objective case,
  even if it is a compound object.
• Pronouns are polite I/me is always last.
• Me is objective I is nominativeremember when to
  use each!
• Be careful when to use the word you.
• Make sure to use the right case when
  you have an
• incomplete comparison.

  possessive case.
