REALLY NICE Explanation of Possessive Adjectives & Pronouns, Chart Showing the Different Kinds of Pronouns

Oh, I like this post at myenglishpages.com!

  • There is a lesson that explains the difference between possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns.
  • There are links to lessons on the different types of pronouns (subject, object, possessive, reflexive).
  • There's a lovely chart that lists these different types of pronouns for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, singular and plural.
  • There are links to quizzes and related topics.
  • There's a link to a silly poem that uses possessive adjectives. You can click on the link and read the poem, but BEWARE! If you then click on the link to the YouTube video, you'll be watching big purple Barney the Dinosaur and his friends sing the song. Some of us watched plenty of Barney on tv when our children were little--no more, please!

Notice that I practiced using "There is," "There are," and the contraction "There's" in the above list. But I did not use "There're" as a contraction for "There are," because that contraction does not exist in English--BEWARE!


My suggestion: Read the lesson on possessive adjectives  and review the pronoun charts by clicking the first link below.
