A pronoun is a special class of significant words that indicate an object without naming it. To avoid tautology in speech, the speaker can use a pronoun. Examples: I, yours, who, this, everyone, most, all, myself, mine, other, another, that, somehow, someone, something, etc.

As can be seen from the examples, pronouns are most often used instead of a noun, as well as instead of an adjective, numeral or adverb.

Pronouns are typically divided into categories according to meaning. This part of speech is focused on names. In other words, pronouns replace nouns, adjectives, and numerals. However, the peculiarity of pronouns is that, replacing names, they do not acquire their meaning. According to established tradition, only modifiable words are considered pronouns. All unchangeable words are treated as pronominal adverbs.

This article will present the meaning and grammatical features, as well as examples of sentences in which certain pronouns are used.

Pronouns are divided into three categories:

  1. Pronominal nouns.
  2. Pronominal adjectives.
  3. Pronominal numerals.

Personal pronouns

Words indicating persons and objects that are participants in a speech act are called “personal pronouns.” Examples: I, you, we, you, he, she, it, they. I, you, we, you denote participants in verbal communication. The pronouns he, she, they do not participate in the speech act; they are reported to the speaker as non-participants in the speech act.

  • I know what you want to tell me. (Participant in a speech act, object.)
  • You must read all the fiction on the list. (The subject to whom the action is directed.)
  • We had a wonderful holiday this year! (Participants in a speech act, subjects.)
  • You played your role perfectly! (Addressee, object to which the address is directed in a speech act.)
  • He prefers a quiet pastime. (Non-participant in the speech act.)
  • Will she definitely go to America this summer? (Non-participant in the speech act.)
  • They jumped with a parachute for the first time in their lives and were very pleased. (Non-participant in the speech act.)

Attention! The pronouns his, her, their, depending on the context, can be used both as possessive and personal pronouns.

Compare:

  • He was not at school today, neither for the first nor for the last lesson. - His performance at school depends on how often he attends classes. (In his first sentence there is a personal pronoun in the genitive case, in his second sentence there is a possessive pronoun.)
  • I asked her to keep this conversation between us. “She ran, her hair fluttered in the wind, and her silhouette was getting lost and lost with every second, moving away and dissolving in the light of day.
  • You should always ask them to turn the music down. “Their dog very often howls at night, as if grieving for some unbearable grief of his.

Reflexive pronoun

The pronoun oneself belongs to this category - it indicates the person of the object or addressee, which is identified with the actor. Reflexive pronouns perform this function. Example sentences:

  • I have always considered myself the happiest in the whole wide world.
  • She constantly admires herself.
  • He doesn't like to make mistakes and trusts only himself.

Can I keep this kitten with me?

Possessive pronouns

A word indicating that a person or thing belongs to another person or thing is called a “possessive pronoun.” Example: mine, yours, ours, yours, yours. Possessive pronouns indicate belonging to the speaker, interlocutor or non-participant in the act of speech.

  • My the decision always turns out to be the most correct.
  • Yours wishes will definitely be fulfilled.
  • Our The dog behaves very aggressively towards passers-by.
  • Is yours the choice will be yours.
  • Finally I got mine present!
  • Their keep your thoughts to yourself.
  • My the city misses me and I feel how much I miss it.

Words like her, him, them can act as a personal pronoun in or as possessive pronoun. Example sentences:

  • Their the car is parked at the entrance. - They were not in the city for 20 years.
  • His the bag is lying on the chair. - He was asked to bring tea.
  • Her the house is located in the city center. - She was made the queen of the evening.

The possessive pronoun also indicates that a person (object) belongs to a group of objects. Example:

  • Our I will remember our joint trips for a long time!

Demonstrative pronouns

The demonstrative is the second name that bears the demonstrative pronoun. Examples: this, that, such, so much. These words distinguish this or that object (person) from a number of other similar objects, persons or signs. This function is performed by the demonstrative pronoun. Examples:

  • This The novel is much more interesting and informative than all those I have read before. (Pronoun this distinguishes one object from a number of similar ones, indicates the peculiarity of this object.)

Pronoun This also performs this function.

  • This sea, these mountains, This the sun will forever remain in my memory as the brightest memory.

However, you should be careful when determining the part of speech and not confuse the demonstrative pronoun with a particle!

Compare examples of demonstrative pronouns:

  • This it was excellent! - Did you play the role of a fox in a school play? (In the first case, This is a pronoun and fulfills the predicate. In the second case This- the particle does not have a syntactic role in the sentence.)
  • That the house is much older and more beautiful than this one. (Pronoun That highlights an object, points to it.)
  • Neither such, no other option suited him. (Pronoun such helps to concentrate attention on one of many subjects.)
  • So many once he stepped on the same rake, and again repeats everything all over again. (Pronoun so many emphasizes the repetition of the action.)

Determinative pronouns

Examples of pronouns: himself, most, all, every, each, any, other, other. This category is divided into subcategories, each of which includes the following pronouns:

1.Himself, the most- pronouns that have an excretory function. They elevate the object in question and individualize it.

  • Myself the director, Alexander Yaroslavovich, was present at the party.
  • He was offered the most a highly paid and prestigious job in our city.
  • The most The greatest happiness in life is to love and be loved.
  • Self Her Majesty condescended to praise me.

2.All- a pronoun that has the meaning of breadth of coverage of the characteristics of a person, object or characteristic.

  • All the city came to see him perform.
  • All The road passed in remorse and the desire to return home.
  • All the sky was covered with clouds, and not a single clearing was visible.

3. Anyone, everyone, anyone- pronouns denoting freedom of choice from several objects, persons or characteristics (if they exist at all).

  • Semyon Semenovich Laptev is a master of his craft - this is for you any will say.
  • Any a person is capable of achieving what he wants, the main thing is to make an effort and not be lazy.
  • Each blade of grass every the petal breathed life, and this desire for happiness was transmitted to me more and more.
  • All sorts of things the word he said turned against him, but he did not seek to correct it.

4.Different, different- pronouns that have meanings that are not identical to what was said earlier.

  • I chose other a path that was more accessible to me.
  • Imagine another If you were me, would you do the same?
  • IN other Once he comes home, silently, eats and goes to bed, today everything was different...
  • The medal has two sides - another I did not notice.

Interrogative pronouns

Examples of pronouns: who, what, which, which, whose, how many, which.

Interrogative pronouns contain questions about persons, objects or phenomena, quantities. A question mark is usually placed at the end of a sentence that contains an interrogative pronoun.

  • Who was that man who came to see us this morning?
  • What what will you do when the summer exams are over?
  • What there should be a portrait of an ideal person, and how do you imagine him?
  • Which out of these three people could know what really happened?
  • Whose is this a briefcase?
  • How much does a red dress cost? which did you come to school yesterday?
  • Which your favorite time of year?
  • Whose I saw a child in the yard yesterday?
  • How Do you think I should enroll in the Faculty of International Relations?

Relative pronouns

Examples of pronouns: who, what, how, which, which, whose, how many, which.

Attention! These pronouns can act as both relative and interrogative pronouns, depending on whether they are used in a particular context. In a complex sentence (CSS), only the relative pronoun is used. Examples:

  • How are you making sponge cake with cherry filling? - She told how she prepares a pie with cherry filling.

In the first case How - the pronoun has an interrogative function, i.e. the subject concludes a question about a certain object and the method of obtaining it. In the second case, the pronoun How is used as a relative pronoun and acts as a connecting word between the first and second simple sentences.

  • Who knows in which does the sea flow into the Volga River? “He didn’t know who this man was and what could be expected from him.
  • What do you need to do to get a good job? - He knew what to do in order to get a well-paid job.

What- pronoun - used both as a relative and as an interrogative pronoun, depending on the context.

  • What what are we going to do tonight? - You said that today we should visit our grandmother.

To accurately determine the category of pronouns when choosing between relative and interrogative, you need to remember that the interrogative pronoun in a sentence can be replaced by a verb, a noun, or a numeral, depending on the context. The relative pronoun cannot be replaced.

  • What do you want for dinner today? - I would like vermicelli for dinner.
  • Which do you like the color? - Do you like the color purple?
  • Whose is this a house? - Is this mom's house?
  • Which are you in line? -Are you eleventh in line?
  • How many do you have any candy? - Do you have six sweets?

The situation is similar with the pronoun than. Compare examples of relative pronouns:

  • What to do on the weekend? - He completely forgot what I wanted to do this for the weekend. (As we see, in the second version the pronoun how is included in the category of relative and performs a connecting function between two parts of a complex sentence.)
  • How did you get into my house yesterday? - Anna Sergeevna looked questioningly at the boy and did not understand how he got into her house.
  • How does it feel to realize that you are in trouble? - I know from myself what it’s like to realize that your plans are collapsing quickly and irrevocably.
  • How many times do I ask you not to do this again? “She has already lost count of the number of times her son brought his class teacher to tears.
  • Whose car is parked at the gate of my house? “He was at a loss, so he couldn’t figure out whose idea it was to provoke a fight.
  • How much is this Persian kitten worth? - He was told how much a red Persian kitten costs.
  • Who knows what year the Battle of Borodino took place? - Three students raised their hands: they knew in what year the Battle of Borodino took place.

Some scientists propose to combine relative and interrogative pronouns into one category and call them “interrogative-relative pronouns.” Examples:

  • Who is there? - He didn't see who was here.

However, at present it has not yet been possible to reach a general agreement, and the categories of interrogative and relative pronouns continue to exist separately from each other.

Negative pronouns

Examples of pronouns: no one, nothing, none, nobody, no one, nothing. Negative pronouns mean the absence of persons, objects, and also to indicate their negative characteristics.

  • Nobody didn't know what to expect from him.
  • Nothing he was not interested enough to devote his whole life to this matter.
  • No debt and none money couldn't keep him from running away.
  • A lonely dog ​​ran along the road, and it seemed that it never had an owner, a home or tasty food in the morning; She was draw.
  • He tried to find excuses for himself, but it turned out that everything happened precisely on his initiative, and no one was to blame for this.
  • He was completely nothing to do, so he walked slowly in the rain past the glowing shop windows and watched the oncoming cars passing by.

Indefinite pronouns

An indefinite pronoun is formed from interrogative or relative pronouns. Examples: someone, something, some, some, several, some, anyone, anyone, anything, some, some. Indefinite pronouns contain the meaning of an unknown, undefined person or thing. Also, indefinite pronouns have the meaning of deliberately hidden information that the speaker specifically does not want to communicate.

Examples for comparison:

  • Someone's a voice rang out in the darkness, and I didn’t quite understand who it belonged to: a man or an animal. (Lack of information from the speaker.) - This letter was from my no one an acquaintance who had been absent from our city for a long time and was now planning to come. (Information deliberately hidden from listeners.)
  • Something the incredible happened that night: the wind tore and tossed leaves from the trees, lightning flashed and pierced the sky. (Instead of something You can substitute indefinite pronouns with similar meaning: something, something.)
  • Some of my friends consider me a strange and wonderful person: I don’t strive to earn a lot of money and live in a small old house on the edge of the village . (Pronoun some can be replaced by the following pronouns: some, several.)
  • Some a pair of shoes, a backpack and a tent were already packed and were waiting for us to pack up and leave far, far from the city. (The subject does not specify the number of objects, but generalizes their number.)
  • Some people informed me that you received the letter, but do not want to acknowledge it volume.(The speaker deliberately hides all information about the face.)
  • If anyone I saw this man, please report this to the police!
  • Anyone knows what Natasha Rostova and Andrei Bolkonsky talked about at the ball?
  • When will you see anything interesting, don’t forget to write down your observations in a notebook.
  • Some Moments in learning English remained incomprehensible to me, then I returned to the previous lesson and tried to go through it again. (Intentional concealment of information by the speaker.)
  • How long I still had some money in my wallet, but I didn’t remember how much. (Lack of information about the subject from the speaker.)

Grammatical grades of pronouns

Grammatically, pronouns are divided into three categories:

  1. Pronominal noun.
  2. Pronominal adjective.
  3. Pronominal numeral.

TO pronominal noun These categories of pronouns include: personal, reflexive, interrogative, negative, indefinite. All these categories are similar in their grammatical properties to nouns. However, pronominal nouns have certain features that a pronoun does not have. Examples:

  • I came to you . (In this case, this is the masculine gender, which we determined by the past tense verb with a zero ending). - You came to me. (Gender is determined by the ending of the verb “came” - feminine,

As you can see from the example, some pronouns do not have a gender category. In this case, the genus can be restored logically, based on the situation.

Other pronouns of the listed categories have a gender category, but it does not reflect the real relationships of persons and objects. For example, the pronoun Who always combined with a verb in the masculine past tense.

  • Who was the first woman to travel into space?
  • Ready or not, here I come.
  • She knew who would be the next contender for her hand and heart.

The pronoun that is used with neuter nouns of the past tense.

  • What allowed you to do this act?
  • He had no idea that something similar to his story could be happening somewhere.

Pronoun He has generic forms, but gender here acts as a classification form, and not as a nominative form.

TO pronominal adjective These include demonstrative, attributive, interrogative, relative, negative, and indefinite pronouns. They all answer the question Which? and are likened to adjectives in their properties. They have dependent forms of number and case.

  • This tiger cub is the fastest in the zoo.

Pronominal numerals include pronouns as much as, several. They are likened in their meaning when combined with nouns.

  • How many books have you read this summer?
  • I now had so many opportunities!
  • My grandmother left some hot pies for me.

Attention! However, in combination with verbs, pronouns how many, as many, several are used as adverbs.

  • How much is this orange blouse worth?
  • You can only spend that much on vacation.
  • I thought a little about how to live and what to do next.

The Russian language is rich, expressive and universal. At the same time, it is a very complex language. What are the declinations or conjugations worth? What about the variety of syntactic structure? What should an Englishman do, for example, who is accustomed to the fact that in his native language sentences have a clear structure? Consider the English phrase “We go to our Museum today”. This sentence can be translated into Russian in different ways:

  1. "We will go to our museum today."
  2. “Today we will go to our museum.”
  3. "Let's go to our museum today."
  4. "Today we will go to our museum."

Depending on the order of words, the meaning of the sentence changes. In the first case, information is provided about the intention to go to the museum (this is the most neutral option). In the second case, attention is focused on exactly how people will get to the museum (on foot, not by transport). In the third, it is specified that the event will happen today. And with the fourth sentence, people say that they will go to a specific museum, “ours,” and not any other. And here it is appropriate to talk about such a part of speech as a pronoun. Let us further find out why possessive pronouns are needed in Russian.

Pronoun

So what is a pronoun? This is an independent part of speech that can replace any other - noun, adjective, adverb and even numeral. Pronouns include words that do not specifically name objects, quantities, characteristics, but only indicate them. There are the following categories of pronouns:

  • Personal: I, you, you, we. These parts of speech indicate the persons in question.
  • Demonstratives: that, that, that, this, that.
  • Determinatives: all, each, other.
  • Negative: no one, nothing.
  • Indefinite: several, some, some.
  • Possessive: my, our, yours, yours.
  • Returnable: yourself.
  • Interrogative: who? What? Which? whose?
  • Relative. They coincide with interrogatives, but are used as allied words in subordinate clauses.

As you can see, the pronoun present in the above translation of the English phrase refers to possessive pronouns. Let's talk about them.

What pronouns are called possessive?

Possessive pronouns play an important role in the Russian language. Possessive pronouns are those pronouns that denote that an object belongs to someone or something. They answer the questions: “Whose?”, “Whose?”, “Whose?”, “Whose?”.

We present to you a list of possessive pronouns present in the Russian language:

  • my, my, mine; ours, ours, ours; mine, ours;
  • yours, yours, yours; yours, yours, yours; yours, yours;
  • his her; their.

Sometimes the pronoun “your” is conventionally included here as a reflexive possessive.

Changing possessive pronouns

It is no coincidence that the above list is divided into three lines. This way you can quickly find out how possessive pronouns change in Russian. Firstly, they are transformed by person: the first line contains pronouns of the first person, the second - of the second person, and the third line - of the third. In the table we have posted below, you can see that possessive pronouns vary by gender (masculine, feminine, neuter) and number (singular and plural).

How do possessive pronouns change by case (or decline) in Russian? The examples presented below will clarify this issue in as much detail as possible:

  • Them. p. (who?): Me and my mother went to the zoo today.
  • Genus. p. (who?): My mother was not at home today.
  • Dat. p. (to whom?): My mother liked walking around the zoo.
  • Vin. p. (who?): Even the lion at the zoo didn’t scare my mother.
  • TV p. (by whom?): I am proud of my mother.
  • Suggestion p. (about whom?): I’ll tell everyone in the class about my mother.

There are also such modifications:

  • Them. p. (what?): I went to school, and now I have my own textbooks.
  • Genus. p. (what?): While I was in kindergarten, I didn’t have my own textbooks.
  • Dat. p. (to what?): Now I’m a schoolgirl and I’m very happy with my textbooks.
  • Vin. p. (what?): I often look at my textbooks, even if I can’t read everything.
  • TV p. (what?): I am proud of my textbooks: they are neatly wrapped.
  • Suggestion p. (about what?): I’ve already buzzed my mom and dad’s ears about my textbooks.

Ways to differentiate

As mentioned above, possessive pronouns in Russian answer the following questions: “Whose?”, “Whose?”, “Whose?”. Thanks to such questions, you can easily distinguish between personal pronouns and personal pronouns in the meaning of possessives in Russian. This nuance can be remembered by studying the following examples:

  • I invited her to visit. Who did you call? - her. Personal pronoun.
  • I accidentally noticed her mother on the street. Whose mother? - her. In this case, there is a clear indication of ownership. That is, we see a possessive pronoun.

There are peculiarities in personal pronouns and in the meaning of possessives in declension. This point is presented in the following examples:

  • Nominative case (who?): My friend, her sister and their parents got caught in the rain today.
  • Genitive (who?): My friend, her sister and their parents are not at home today.
  • Dative (to whom?): My friend and her sister will get punished by their parents today for leaving far away without warning.
  • Accusative (who?): My friend and her sister were met by their parents and taken home.
  • Creative (by whom?): I admire my friend and her parents because they like to have fun together.
  • Prepositional (about whom?): Sometimes I tell my grandmother about my friend and her parents.

In the table below you can see that personal pronouns in the meaning of possessives remain unchanged, while possessives themselves are declined. So, you already know what possessive pronouns are. An irreplaceable part of speech.

Proverbs and sayings

People have come up with many sayings and proverbs that contain possessive pronouns. The most popular of them are the following sayings:

  • What was yours is now ours.
  • My word is like granite.
  • Your shirt is closer to your body.
  • You see the straw in someone else's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own.
  • Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are.

Many words in the Russian language belong to a large group of pronouns. Within this group there are categories - for example, personal pronouns, indefinite, negative. But today we will look at the possessive category of pronouns - and find out what words refer to it, and what rules apply to it.

What is a possessive pronoun?

Most of the things around us belong to someone - permanently or just now, at the present moment. For example, we own our own items of clothing, we own the furniture in our home, and small accessories. At work, we own our place - although it may change hands, at this moment it is ours.

When talking about things or concepts, we can name their specific owners - for example, “mom’s bag” or “Petya’s notebook.” And we can use pronouns - “her bag”, “his notebook” and so on. It is precisely these pronouns that will be possessive - they communicate that someone owns an object or concept, but do not call this person by name. The questions that the possessive pronoun answers are “whose” and “which”.

Let's give a few examples.

  • His singing drew applause.
  • Your suit suits you very well.
  • Their plans for the weekend had changed a bit.
  • My coffee has long since cooled down.

In all these sentences, the pronoun indicates who the objects, actions or concepts belong to.

What rules apply to possessive pronouns?

There are a few rules to remember:

  • A possessive pronoun never stands alone in a sentence - it must be located next to a noun. For example - “his chair”, “my coat”, “our house”.
  • Possessive pronouns are closely related to personal pronouns and also have three persons. The 1st person includes the pronouns “my” and “our”, the 2nd person - “your” and “your”, the 3rd person - “his”, “their”, “her”.
  • Pronouns of the possessive group, referring to the 1st and 2nd persons, can be declined according to all the main characteristics - number, gender, cases. For example, you can say “my”, “mine” or “mine” - here we see a declination by gender, or “my” and “mine” are a declination by numbers, “my” and “mine” are a declination by cases.
  • Third person possessive pronouns are not inflected. For example, “his chair” and “his hat” - the pronoun sounds the same for a masculine and feminine noun. Or “her computer” and “her things” - the pronoun does not change for singular and plural nouns.

Pronoun- a part of speech that indicates a person, object or sign, but does not name them. Pronouns are divided into:

    Personal: I, we, you, you, he, she, it, they.

    Returnable: myself.

    Possessives: mine, ours, yours, yours, yours.

    Interrogative-relative: who, what, which, which, which, whose, how many.

    Index fingers: this, that, such, such, so much.

    Definitive: himself, most, all (all, everything, everything), everyone, each, any, other.

    Negative: no one, nothing, no, no one's, no one, no one, nothing.

    Undefined: someone, something, some, some, several, someone, something, some, any, something and etc.

1. Personal pronouns- pronouns indicating persons who participate in speech: these are noun pronouns. The constant morphological feature for all personal pronouns is person (I, we - first person; you, you - 2nd person; he (she, it, they) - 3rd person). A constant morphological feature of personal pronouns of the 1st and 2nd person is number (I, you - singular; we, you - plural). All personal pronouns change by case, while not only the ending changes, but also the whole word (I - me, you - you, he - his); The 3rd person pronoun changes according to number and gender (singular) - he, she, it, they.

2. Reflexive pronoun- a pronoun that denotes that an action performed by someone is directed at the actor himself. This is a noun pronoun. The reflexive pronoun has no gender, person, number or nominative case form; the reflexive pronoun changes according to cases (self, itself, by itself).

3. Possessive pronouns- indicate the attribute of an object by its affiliation: these are adjective pronouns.

Possessive pronouns change according to number, gender (singular), case (my, my, mine, mine, mine, etc.). When indicating belonging to a third party, the frozen forms of the genitive case of personal pronouns are used - his, her, theirs.

4. Interrogative pronouns- used in interrogative sentences. Who? What? - pronouns-nouns. They have no gender, person, or number; change according to cases (who, whom, what, what, etc.). Which? whose? which? - pronouns-adjectives, change according to numbers, genders (singular), cases (which, which, which, which, which, etc.). How many? - numeral pronoun; changes according to cases (how many, how many, how many, etc.). Where? When? Where? where? For what? and others - pronominal adverbs; unchangeable words.

5. Relative pronounscoincide with interrogatives - who, what, which, whose, which, where, when, how many, where, where, why and others, but are used not as question words, but as allied words in subordinate clauses (I know how much effort he put into completing this task; I know who is to blame for our failure; I know where the money is hidden. ). The morphological and syntactic characteristics of relative pronouns are the same as those of interrogative pronouns.

6. Demonstrative pronouns- these are means of indicating certain objects, signs, quantity (with distinguishing one from the other). That, this, this, such are pronouns-adjectives and change according to numbers, genders (singular), cases (that, that, that, those; such, such, such, such, etc.). So much is a numeral pronoun; changes according to cases (so many, so many, so many, etc.). There, here, here, there, here, from there, from here, then, therefore, then and others - pronominal adverbs; unchangeable words.

7. Determinative pronouns- serve as a means of clarifying the subject or feature in question. Himself, most, all, every, each, other, other, any - pronouns are adjectives and change according to numbers, genders (singular), cases (every, every, every, every, everyone, etc.). Everywhere, everywhere, always - pronominal adverbs; unchangeable words.

8.Negative pronouns- indicate the absence of objects, signs, quantity. Negative pronouns are formed from interrogative pronouns using the prefixes not-, nor-: who → no one, how much → not at all, where → nowhere, when → never. The morphological and syntactic characteristics of negative pronouns are the same as those of interrogative pronouns, from which negative pronouns are derived.

9. Indefinite pronouns- indicate vague, unknown objects, signs, quantity. Indefinite pronouns are formed from interrogative pronouns using the prefixes not-, some- and postfixes -that, -either, -someone: who → someone, someone, someone, anyone, anyone, someone; how much → several, how much, how much; where → somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere. The morphological and syntactic characteristics of indefinite pronouns are the same as those of interrogative pronouns, from which indefinite pronouns are derived.
