Where's the Pronoun

Pronouns take the place of nouns. Personal pronouns have what is called case.  

Case means that a different form of a pronoun is used for different parts of the sentence.

There are three cases: nominative, objective, and possessive.

1. Nominative case pronouns are I, she, he, we, they, and who. 

 

They are used as subjects, predicate nominatives, and appositives when used 

with a subject or predicate nominative.

 

2. Objective case pronouns are me, her, him, us, them, and whom. 

 

They are used as direct objects, indirect objects, objects of the preposition, and appositives 

when used with one of the objects. You and it are both nominative and objective case.

 

 

3. Possessive case pronouns are my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, 

our, ours, your, yours, their and theirs. They are used to show ownership.

Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes, but possessive nouns do. 

Do not confuse the possessive personal pronouns its, your, and their 

with the contractions it's (it is, it has), you're (you are), and they're (they are).

Now for examples (note the wrong answer has been striked out)

1. Mom thinks this book must be (yours, your's). (Its, It's) not mine.

2. Is that (your, you're) car or (theirs, their's)?

3. (Its, It's) their turn, not (ours, our's).

Joke of the Blog-

 The newly-married husband came home from the office to find his young wife in floods of tears. "Darling, whatever is the matter?" he asked.

"Sweetheart," she sobbed, "the most terrible thing has happened! I cooked my very first Beef Bourguignon for you, and I got it out of the oven to season it, and the phone rang. When I came back from answering the phone, I found that the cat had eaten it!"

"Don't worry, darling," said her husband. "Don't cry. We can get a new cat tomorrow."
