PRONOUNS
PRONOUNS TIPS

Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her ...) are always followed by a noun.
Tip 1
You should think about your career.

Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers ...) are never followed by a noun.

Tip 2 This is not my telephone, mine (not; mine telephone) is in my bag.

If the subject and object of the verb are the same, then we use a reflexive pronoun.
Tip 3
My father was talking to himself when I entered the room.

In order to emphasize the subject or the object of the verb, we use a reflexive pronoun.
Tip 4
John himself told me this story.

We cannot use an indefinite pronoun that starts with any- at the beginning of a negative
Tip 5 sentence. Instead, we can use the ones that start with no-.

Nobody was sure what to do next. (not; Anybody wasn’t sure what to do next.)

We can use an indefinite pronoun that starts with any- at the beginning of a positive
sentence.
Tip 6 Anybody at the office can help you with that.
