Note: Reflexive noun can also be used to give more emphasis on subject or
object. If a reflexive pronoun is used to give more emphasis on a subject or an
object, it is called“Intensive Pronoun”. Usage and function of intensive
pronoun are different from that of reflexive pronoun.
Relative Pronouns.
Relative Pronoun describes a noun which is mentioned before and more information is to be given about it Or Relative pronoun is a pronoun which joins relative clauses and relative sentences.
For example, It is the person, who helped her. In this sentence
the word “who” is a relative pronoun which refers to the noun (the person)
which is already mentioned in beginning of sentence (It is the person) and more
information (he helped her) is given after using a relative pronoun (who) for
the noun (the person).
Similarly, in above sentence the pronoun “who” joins two clauses which are “it is the person” and “who helped her”.
Similarly, in above sentence the pronoun “who” joins two clauses which are “it is the person” and “who helped her”.
Examples. The most commonly used
five relative pronouns are, who,
whom, whose, which, that.
“Who”
is for subject and “whom” is used for object. “who” and “whom” are used for
people. “Whose” is used to show possession and can be used for both people and
things. “Which” is used for things. “That” is used for people and things.
Examples.
It is the girl who got first position in class.
It is the girl who got first position in class.
Adjective
is a word that modifies noun.
The
man whom I met yesterday is a nice person.
Demonstrative Pronouns.
Demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that points to a thing or things.
e.g. this, that, these, those, none, neither
These
pronouns point to thing or things in short distance/time or long distance/time.
Short distance or time: This, these.
Long distance or time: That, those.
Demonstrative
pronouns “this and that” are used for singular thing while “these or those” are
used for plural things.
Examples
This is black.
This is black.
That is heavy.

Give the exemples for these 3 types !
There are three basic question types:
1.
Yes/No: the answer is “yes or no”
2.
Question-word: the answer is “information”
3.
Choice: the answer is “in the question”
1.
Yes/No questions
Sometimes the only answer that we need is yes or no. Look at these
examples:
|
auxiliary verb
|
subject
|
not
|
main verb
|
|
answer:
yes or no |
|
Do
|
you
|
|
want
|
dinner?
|
Yes, I do.
|
|
Can
|
you
|
|
drive?
|

|
|

|
her work?

|
|
Did
|
they
|
|
go
|
home?
|
No, they didn't.
|
2. Question-word
questions
Sometimes we want more than yes or no for an answer.
When asking for information, we usually place a question-word at the beginning
of the sentence. The question-word indicates the information that we want, for
example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who(person).
Look at these examples:
|
question word
|
auxiliary verb
|
not
|
subject
|
main verb
|
|
answer:
information |
|
Where
|
do
|
|
you
|
live?
|
|
In Paris.
|
|
When
|
will
|
|
we
|
have
|
lunch?
|

|
|
Why
|
has
|
n't
|
Tara
|
done
|
it?
|
Because she can't.
|
|
Who(m)
|
did
|
|
she
|
meet?
|
|
She met Ram.
|
|
Who*
|
has
|
|
|
run
|
out?
|
Ati has run out.
|
|
Who**
|
|
|
|
ran
|
out?
|
Ati ran out.
|
3. Choice
question
Sometimes we give our listener a choice. We ask them
to choose between two possible answers. So their answer is (usually) already in
the question. Look at these examples:
|
auxiliary verb
|
subject
|
main verb
|
|
or
|
|
answer:
in question |
|
Do
|
you
|
want
|
tea
|
or
|
coffee?
|
Coffee, please.
|
|
Will
|
we
|
meet
|
John
|
or
|
James?
|
John.
