What are Pronouns?

Pronouns are words that can be used in place of nouns. They help avoid repetition and make sentences more concise.

Types of Pronouns

There are several types of pronouns: personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and more.

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns refer to specific people or things. They include 'I', 'you', 'he', 'she', 'it', 'we', and 'they'.

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns show ownership. They include 'mine', 'yours', 'his', 'hers', 'ours', and 'theirs'.

Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns point to specific people or things. They include 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those'.

Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns reflect the action back to the subject. They include 'myself', 'yourself', 'himself', 'herself', 'itself', 'ourselves', 'yourselves', and 'themselves'.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
