Personal pronouns in English (subjective and objective). Possessive pronouns and the possessive case in English. Possessive Pronouns and Possessive Case

Friends, we have already talked more than once about the topic of pronouns in English, and on our website you can find a lot of interesting and useful material on this matter. But there is one more point about English pronouns that needs to be discussed. And this point is object pronouns.

English object pronouns, in other words, pronouns in the objective case, are personal pronouns in the oblique case. Fortunately, there are not many cases in English, there are only two of them - common and possessive. Today you will learn how to inflect English pronouns by case.

What are Object Pronouns?

English pronouns in the objective case cannot be the subject of a sentence; they cannot answer the questions “who?” or “what?” This type of pronoun serves as a complement and answers the questions “to whom?”, “by whom?”, “about whom?”, “whom?”. Object Pronouns - Object Pronouns

So, what do these Object Pronouns look like? Let's look at personal pronouns and, derived from them, object pronouns:

I—me(me, me, me/me, about me)
You -you(you, you, by you/by you, about you; you, you, you, by you, about you)
He -him(his/him, him/him, his, them/him, about him)
She—her(her/her, her/her, her, her/her/her/her, about her)
It—it(it, his/him, him/him, his, them/him, about him)
We—us(us, us, us, us, about us)
They —them(their/them, them, their/them, by them/them, about them)

All other cases of the Russian language (except for the nominative) in English can be expressed using prepositions. For example:

Around me- around me
Because of her- because of her
To him- to him
By them- by them
Withus- with us
Foryou- for you/for you

See how Object Pronouns behave in sentences, and therefore in English speech:

Give me your pencil-box, please. - Giveto meis yourspencil case, Please.
I bought these flowers for you, my darling! - IboughttheseflowersForyou, myExpensive!
There are a lot of people around me. — Aroundmea lot ofof people.
Would you like to go to the forest with us? - NotWantwhetherYougoVforestWithus?

Object pronouns in colloquial speech

As you understand, pronouns in the objective case cannot act as a subject, they can only be a direct or indirect object.

However, in colloquial speech liberties are often taken. In conversational conversations, you can find cases where Object Pronouns can take on the role of the subject. This can be found after the verb tobe and in short answers. For example:

It is me- It's me
It was him - it was he
You and me - you and me
Me too - Me too

Subject and object pronouns

Now do the following exercise to test your knowledge of object pronouns in English:

Is he talking about ___? (about me)
Does she know ___? (his)
Don't touch ___! (This)
He gave ___ a beautiful flower. (to her)
She gave ___ good advice. (to me)

This passage was translated by ___. (by her)
This article was written by ___. (them)

Who broke the dish? - Not ___! (I)

We hope you have mastered English Object Pronouns well and made friends with them. All you need to remember, friends, is this: object pronouns are the same personal pronouns, but in the indirect case. Therefore, learning them will not be difficult for you. We wish you good luck!

Object pronouns in English are a type of personal pronouns, but they are in the indirect case. This category answers the questions: “Who? What?" and many others depending on the prepositions.

Table of object pronouns

This group of pronouns can be presented in a more visual form by comparing them with personal pronouns, which are always in the nominative case.

*Personal places.*	*Object places.*	*Example sentences*
I (i)	me (me)	Can you give that book to me? -Can you give me that book?
you (you)	you (you)	I saw you in the supermarket yesterday. – I saw you in the supermarket yesterday.
he (he)	him (him)	I haven’t met him fo ages. “I haven’t met him for a hundred years.”
she (she)	her (her)	I gave her my old dress. – I gave her my old dress.
it (it)	it (his)	I don't like that table. I won't buy it. – I don’t like that table. I won't buy it.
we (we)	us (us)	The Ivanovs invited us to their place. – The Ivanovs invited us to visit them.
you (you, you)	you (you, you)	I want you to help me with the luggage. – I want you to help me with my luggage.
they (they)	them (them)	Ann asked them about her lost bike. – Anna asked them about her lost bicycle.

The pronoun it in the objective case, as well as in the nominative case, refers to inanimate objects and animals whose gender is unknown or does not matter: I have just seen a gray cat in the street. It looked like yours. – I just saw a gray cat on the street. He looked like yours.

Object pronouns with prepositions

This group of private places. Acts as an indirect object and is often used in combination with various prepositions.

*Prepositions*	*Examples*
to	The postman gave a big box to her. – The postman gave her a big box.
with	Our parents weren’t always happy with us. – Our parents were not always happy with us.

from	Did you get any letters from them? – Have you received any letters from them?
around	There were always a lot of beautiful young girls around him. “There were always a lot of beautiful young girls next to him.
because of	My elder sister fell ill. Because of her we couldn’t go to the cinema. – My older sister got sick. Because of her, we couldn't go to the cinema.

The objective case of pronouns in English corresponds to the accusative, dative, instrumental, genitive and prepositional cases in Russian, depending on the pronouns and the situation in which these parts of speech are used.

What have we learned?

Object pronouns in English are a type of personal pronouns. They can be used independently or after various prepositions. These pronouns answer the questions: “Whom?”, “What”, “By whom?”, “With what?”, “To whom?”, “To what?” and many others.

It may seem like they are the same thing, but this is a deep misconception. We think that this probably should be the case, because in our native language the same word is used in two phrases with different meanings: “ his coat" and "meet his In the underground". But in English there are two different types of pronouns used here. Oh, how lucky we are with the Russian!

Objective and possessive pronouns in English. What is the difference?

Let's see what they look like first objective and possessive pronouns in English.

If we pay attention to examples of possessive pronouns in English, then we will see that they are found in pairs with nouns.

1. His father was very angry. – His father was very angry.

2. My pencil isn't broken. - My pencil is not broken.

3.Where are their children? -Where are their children?

4. We want to see our results! – We want to see our results!

5. Who is her husband? -Who is her husband?

6.What is your name? – What is your name? (literal translation)

The task of the so-called "object pronouns" to complete a verb (action), that is, to be an “object”. In other words, objective and possessive pronouns in English play different roles in a sentence.

Object pronouns in English are personal pronouns, only in the indirect case. Let's look at the features of the formation and use of objective ones and explain how to correctly inflect them.

Pronouns in the objective case answer the questions whom?, to whom?, about whom?, by whom? Their function is to act as a supplement. The objective case does not answer the questions what? and who?, does not play the role of subjects in a sentence. Let's look at personal pronouns and Object Pronouns directly in the table:

Personal Pronouns	Object Pronouns
I	Me => me, me, me/me, about me
You	You => you, you, by you/by you, about you; you, you, you, by you, about you
He	Him => his/him, him/him, his, them/him, about him
She	Her => her/her, her/her, her, her/her/her/her, about her
It	It => it, his/him, him/him, his, him/him, about him
We	Us => us, us, us, us, about us
They	Them => their/them, them, their/them, by them/them, about them

Examples

Don’t you want to visit them these days? They will be very glad to see you! => Would you like to visit them one of these days? They will be very happy to see you!

I didn’t see him for ages! I hope he became a brave one! => I haven't seen him for hundreds of years! I hope he became a brave man!

We ask them to help us with these heavy boxex buy they denied us => We asked them to help us with these heavy boxes, but they refused us.

Mary still didn’t decide how to explain him all these questions => Mary still hasn’t decided how to explain all these questions to him.

You had to give it to me but you were naughty and gave it to her => You should have given it to me, but you were mischievous and gave it to her.

Note! Cases in English are often used with certain prepositions. These include =>

Because of her => because of her

With us => with us

Around me => around me

For you => for you/for you

By them => by them

To him => to him.

Now let's see what sentences can be composed with these pronouns and prepositions in English:

There was a lot of noise around me so I decided to sit quiet => There was a lot of noise around me, so I decided to sit quietly.

I bought hundreds of flowers just for you buy you ignored my gift! => I bought hundreds of flowers for you, but you ignored my gift!

You had to give this piece of cake to him but you were greedy and ate it alone! => You should have given this piece of pie to him, but you were greedy and ate it yourself!

Everything happened only because of her but she remained calm and ignorant => Everything happened only because of her, but she remained calm and indifferent.

This law was taken by them but they themselves ignore it! => This law was passed by them, but they themselves ignore it!

You had to come with us but you were stubborn and decided to stay here alone => You should have come with us, but you were stubborn and decided to stay here alone.

Object Pronouns in colloquial speech

From the material given above, it is easy to conclude that object pronouns do not serve as subjects. They act only as indirect or direct additions. But... in a conversational environment, constructions that are not used in a formal business style can be used.

For example:

You and me => you and me

It was him => it was him

It is me => this is me

Me too => me too.

Examples:

You are so upset... Have to say, me too => You are so upset... I must say, so am I.

We will not invite them. There will be nobody else. Only you and me -> We will not invite them. There will be no one here. Just you and me.

I didn’t know who was guilty, but something whispered to me that it was him => I didn’t know who was guilty, but something whispered to me that it was him.

Why are you so cold to me? Don't you want to see me? It is me – your sister! => Why are you so cold to me? You do not want to see me? It's me - your sister!

Personal pronouns: types and features of use

These pronouns got their name because of their main function - to replace the name of a person or thing. The main purpose of such pronouns in context is to avoid repetition and make the conversation more palatable.

Speaking about personal pronouns, it is important to note that they are divided into two groups, which consist of nominative And object case.

Note! The Russian language is rich in cases - there are as many as six of them. As for the English language, everything is simpler here - there are only two cases: nominative and objective.

Objective case pronouns in English

The personal pronoun is often used as an object in sentences. Complements are what an action is performed on or with. Pronouns of this nature are used in the objective case. And it’s no secret that the Objective case will have a completely different form than the one that the Nominative case has.

On a note! Objective case in English replaces as many as 5 cases in Russian! Namely - prepositional, instrumental, accusative, dative, genitive.

From this it is easy to conclude that one Objective case answers all those questions that are answered by five cases in the Russian language, namely - By whom? To whom? Whom? About whom?

For example:

She is my sister but I don’t understand her => She is my sister, but I don’t understand her.

She (she) is a Nominative case, her is an Objective case. But! The pronoun her can also be translated as about her, by her, to her .

Give it to her => Give it to her.

I want to go with her => I want to go with her.

I think of her everytime => I constantly think about her.

Comparative table of personal pronouns in the nominative and objective cases

Nominative case	objective case
I => I	Me => me, me, me
You => you (you)	You => you, you, you, you, you, you
He => he	Him => him, him, him
She => she	Her => her, her, her
It => it (he, she)	It => him, his, them
We => we	Us => us, us, us
They => they	Them => them, them, them

Examples:

We wanted to come with them but they didn’t propose us => We wanted to come with them, but they didn’t offer us.

Mary asked him not to speak in such a way => Mary asked him not to speak in such a way.

I give you all the best but only if you will listen to me => I will give you all the best, but only if you listen to me.

Let's sum it up

The topic of object pronouns in English (Object Pronouns) is an interesting and educational material for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of English and learn to speak competently. Before you learn object pronouns, you need to learn personal pronouns, which serve as the basis for creating Object ones. In an objective sense, this is understandable - first you need to learn how to build a foundation, and then a house. Theory, practice and exercises will help you cope effectively with the task and give brilliant results. Good luck and new achievements!

Pronouns (Pronoun)

A pronoun is a part of speech that replaces or describes other parts of speech. There are a huge number of pronouns in the English language. They can be divided into the following groups:

Now let's look at each group of pronouns:

Personal pronouns. This is the most common group of pronouns and appears in almost every sentence of the English language, so try to learn them so that they come to mind. Personal pronouns are divided into two cases: nominative and objective.

A pronoun in the nominative case replaces the subject in a sentence, and in the objective case it replaces the object. Let's look at the personal pronouns in the table:

them [ðem] - to them, theirs

Where is l. - face; units h. - singular; pl. h. - plural.

I must go to you.- I have to go to you.
We should sleep every night.- We must sleep every night.
Did you see them?-Have you seen them?
You were there.- You were there.
He can work with her.- He can work with her.
She is having breakfast.- She is having a breakfast.
It is the gold coin.- This is a gold coin.
They left us.- They left us.

Personal pronouns in English have a number of features:

Personal pronoun I always begins with a capital letter, regardless of place in the sentence:

May I come in?

Personal pronoun you used in singular and plural. In this case, the verb to be is always used in the plural, even if you stands in the singular in a sentence:

You are beautiful.

If there are several personal pronouns in a sentence, then their order is as follows - 2 l. and 3 l. placed before 1 l., 2 l. placed before 3 l. in any cases (remember that pronouns always replace other parts of speech, so if instead of a pronoun there is a noun, then the word order is determined by the same rule):

You and your brother should do the homework.

He asked father and me.

The objective case of personal pronouns can be in the genitive (whom?, what?), dative (to whom?, what?), instrumental (by whom?, what?) and prepositional (about whom, about what) cases, examples:

I did it for her.

She gave me an apple.

It was bought by us.

The bird cared about them.

A peculiarity of the English language is that the division by gender in speech is expressed only with people. In other cases the personal pronoun is used It. It is placed in place of inanimate objects, animals or children. This greatly simplifies the process of learning a language, since we do not need to learn what kind of this or that noun in order to replace it with the corresponding pronoun, as we do in Russian. However, if we want to emphasize the gender of some phenomenon, animal, it is allowed to use pronouns he And she. Also pronoun It can be used as a formal subject (when there is no subject in the Russian translation - see general information about the sentence), examples:

I took a pen. It is black

It is hot now.

Possessive pronouns. They indicate that a noun belongs to an object or subject. Typically corresponds to the personal pronoun in a sentence. There are basic and absolute forms.

Basic form A possessive pronoun stands in a sentence together with a noun and characterizes its belonging.

Absolute form replaces a noun in a sentence, but it is implied that the noun has been previously spoken about. This allows you to get rid of unnecessary repetition of the same word in the text.

Please note that the possessive pronoun is used much more often in English than in Russian. In English, if we talk about parts of the body, items of clothing, personal belongings, then a possessive pronoun is required, although in Russian it is usually omitted:

He waves his hand.- He waves his hand.

Let's look at possessive pronouns:

mine

my you

your

yours

is yours he

his

his she

her

hers

her it

its

his her you plural h.

your

yours

your we

our

ours

our they

their [ðeə(r)]

theirs [ðeəz]

their

Basic form examples:

I gave you my pen.- I gave you my pen.
You can go with your friend.- You can go with your friend.
It was his phone.- It was his phone.
We came to her mother.- We came to her mother.
The dog gives me its paw.- The dog gives me his paw.
They can't do our work.- They can't do our job.
They left me their child.- They left me their child.

Examples of absolute form:

This is her car. Mine is broken.- This is her car. Mine is broken.
Your table is dirty. Ours is cleaner.- Your table is dirty. Our table is cleaner.
I forgot my pencil. Can you give me yours?- I forgot my pencil. Can you give me yours?

Sentences with other possessive pronouns are constructed similarly. And also, if there is an adjective before the noun, then the possessive pronoun is placed before the adjective:

I like your red coat.- I like your red coat

Possessive pronoun its often confused with the combination it "s - the short form it is (I am). Its surface was damaged.- Its surface was damaged.
It is its hair.- this is her hair.

You need to look at the place in the sentence and the words nearby.

Also, reflexive pronouns act as determiners of nouns, so the use of articles with them is not allowed.

Reflexive pronouns. They show that the subject directs the action towards itself and is translated into Russian as an addition to the ending of the verb -sya(-s) or the pronoun seba, sebe, sam... . Each reflexive pronoun has a corresponding personal pronoun. All of them are shown in the table:

You hit yourself.
- You hit yourself.
he It happened by itself.
- It happened on its own.
you (plural) They will introduce themselves tomorrow.
- They will introduce themselves tomorrow.

However, when using reflexive pronouns you need to remember a number of rules:

Instead of a personal pronoun, there can be a corresponding noun:

My dog opened a door itself.

Reflexive pronouns are not used with verbs, which themselves imply that the action is directed towards oneself, or towards each other. These include wash, bath, feel, shave, dress, undress, change, relax, hide:

She felt bad (you can’t say felt herself).

They kissed at street.

Reflexive pronouns cannot be used with prepositions of place. Since the personal pronoun in the objective case can also be translated itself, to itself, confusion may arise. In order not to be confused about which pronoun to put (reflexive or personal pronoun in the objective case), use the rule: if in the Russian translation of a sentence you can put “sam”, then the reflexive pronoun is used, otherwise the personal pronoun in the objective case is used:

She spent all the money herself.

She put an ambrella in front of her.

Interrogative pronouns (words). Also a very common type of pronouns that is used in interrogative sentences. Let's look at the main ones:

What do you do? What are you doing? When could this happen? When could this happen? Why do we work here? Why do we work here?

how - how

How is it possible? How is this possible?

In general, English question words correspond to Russian ones, but there are a number of features:

Interrogative pronoun who acts as a subject, and is used when asking questions about people.

Although the interrogative pronoun who has an objective case whom - whom, but increasingly fulfills this role itself in a sentence:

Pronoun which used in interrogative sentences when a choice from a limited number of items is offered:

But if we were talking about an unlimited number of locks of all types, the pronoun would be used what:

Relative pronouns. These pronouns are used in complex sentences and belong to subordinate clauses. Most of them also apply to interrogative pronouns. Unlike conjunctions, they act in a subordinate clause as a member of the sentence (usually the subject). Let's look at the basic relative pronouns:

Who- who, which. Used in sentences with animate objects - people: I saw the gardener who planted this tree. - I saw the gardener who planted this tree.

Whose- which (whose)

Indicates that an item belongs to some object:

We know a man whose spoon you took.

Which- which. Applies to inanimate objects or animals:

Parents knocked the door which was closed.

That[ðæt] - which

Replaces previous pronouns who And which, and can refer to both animate and inanimate objects:

This was the writer that can"t finish his last book.

Mother bought the new knives that were very sharp.

Demonstrative pronouns. Point to an object or person. Basic demonstrative pronouns:

those [ðəʊz] - those

Demonstrative pronouns denote remoteness not only in distance, but also in time. In a sentence they can be as the following members of the sentence:

Subject:

This is my ball.

Those were their friends.

Noun determiner:

These cars are very beautiful.

I like that place.

Addition:

Remember this!

A doctor chose these

Please note that if the noun is preceded by a demonstrative pronoun in the form of a determiner, then there is no need to use the article, since the pronoun itself acts as an article.

Two more pronouns can be classified as demonstrative pronouns:

such - such
the same - the same

For example:

Such a big room looks nice.- Such a big room looks good.
It happened at the same time.- It happened at the same time.

Quantitative pronouns.

The most famous of this group are two quantitative pronouns, which can come before any noun in almost any situation: some

AND any["eni]. Therefore, if it is difficult to choose a determiner for a noun, you can always use one of these pronouns. They denote the quality or quantity of an object. Moreover, the pronoun some usually used in affirmative sentences, and the pronoun any in negative or interrogative sentences:
I have some question.- I have a question (some question).
I don't have any questions.- I don't have any questions.
Do you have any questions?- Do you have any questions?
Some boy calls you.- Some guy is calling you (quality).

Often when translated into Russian they are omitted as articles:

Some stranger asked you.- The stranger asked you.

There are a number of features with these pronouns:

In questions of requests, the pronoun is used some:

Will you give us some water?

If the pronoun some stands before the numeral, then it is translated about, approximately:

Some twenty time he went past her.

Pronouns some And any before the preposition of is translated as some, any:

Some of them can go away.

Did you see any of us there?

Pronoun any translated in affirmative sentences - any:

You can arrive there by any car.

The remaining quantitative pronouns have similar qualities, so let’s summarize them in one table:

Pronoun	Condition of use	Examples
a lot of [ə lɒt ɒv] - a lot	In affirmative sentences before countable and uncountable nouns	She has a lot of problems.- She has a lot of problems. Workers brought a lot of coal.- The workers brought a lot of coal.
many ["meni] - a lot	In interrogative and negative sentences before countable nouns	Do you have many pairs of shoes?- Do you have a lot of shoes? There weren't many trees in the park.- There weren't many trees in the park.
much - a lot	In interrogative and negative sentences before uncountable nouns	Does he have much water?- Does he have a lot of water? They don't have much time.- They don't have much time.
few - few	In sentences before countable nouns	He gives few coins.- He gives few coins.
little ["litl] - little	In sentences before uncountable nouns	A plane has little fuel.- The plane has little fuel.
a little [ə "litl] - a little	There is a little tea in the cup.- There is some tea in the mug.
a few [ə fju:] - a little	I want a few new t-shirt.- I want some new T-shirts.

Often these pronouns are classified as adverbs, since they are translated into Russian by adverbs, and one cannot say that this would be a mistake (look at the formation of degrees of comparison of adverbs).

And there is another quantitative pronoun that determines nouns: several["sevrəl] - several

: Several new students took wrong books.- Several new students took the wrong books.

Indefinite and negative pronouns. This is the largest group of pronouns in the English language.

Look at the negative pronoun first no

Which is involved in the formation of other negative pronouns. It comes before a noun and denotes the absence of something categorically (that is, this issue is not discussed further):

I saw no children.- I haven’t seen any children.
A cat has no toys.- The cat has no toys.

To form indefinite and negative pronouns, they are used some, any And no. We must remember that in English there cannot be a double negative, that is, if in Russian we can say: Nobody can help me in English this sentence will contain only one negation: Nobody can help me or Anybody can"t help me. Also derivatives formed from particles -one And -body, mean the same thing. For clarity, consider these pronouns in one table:

I cooked something for you.

Did the professor ask you anything?

Somebody will come here.

I don't see anyone.

He is somewhere over there.

Did we meet anywhere else?

Pronouns each- every

AND every["evri] - although each has a similar meaning, they still differ in meaning:

Pronoun each selects an object from a group (therefore only used with countable nouns):

Each forester could do it differently.

Pronoun every in general whole value (all):

Every forester likes a forest.

Derivatives from every- (every):

everything["evriθiŋ] - everything

For better remembering, let's break the pronoun into two words: every - every and thing - thing. And if you add up both parts of the Russian translation: each + thing = everything, example:

I know everything about him.

Everything will start here.

everybody["evribɒdi] - everything

To remember, we will resort to the same method: every - each and body - body. And if you add up both parts of the Russian translation: each + body = everything, example:

Our teacher said to do this exercise to everyone.

Everybody likes ice-cream.

everywhere["evriweə(r)] - everywhere

There were pencils everywhere.

It was dangerous everywhere.

Please note that all these pronouns correspond to 3l. units h. (from the word each), so the verb after them takes the appropriate form.

Pronoun one applies:

In the form of an indefinite personal pronoun and usually not translated into Russian:

One must not smoke here.

One never can go faster this area.

As a substitute word, to avoid unnecessary repetition of a word in a sentence:

I buy new book. This is one more interesting.

Pronouns other["ʌðə(r)] - another, one more

another

Other comes before a noun and indicates that the noun is definite, but not the one mentioned earlier in the sentence:

I took this glass and you take the other glass on the table.

That is, the pronoun other used if selected from a certain number of specific items. If the other item is unknown, then before other the indefinite article an is placed and the pronoun takes the form another:

I took this glass and you take another glass.

This means any other glass. But if the noun is plural, then the pronoun is always used other:

Give me other glasses.

In the case when the pronoun stands without a noun, the noun itself is put in the plural:

These are my glasses. You can take others.

Pronoun both- both, both
: I like both colors.- I like both colors.
They are both twenty years old.- They are both 20 years old.
Reciprocal pronouns. This group includes two pronouns:
each other each other, one to another
one another each other, one to another
These pronouns mean the same thing, and in principle they can be interchangeable in a sentence:
We love each other.- We love each other. Parents didn't see one another for a long time.- The parents did not see each other for a long time.

each other	each other, one to another
one another	each other, one to another
