2.3 Pronouns and Adjectives
Using personal pronouns and descriptive adjectives.
Pronouns - Short Words for People and Things
Pronouns are small words we use instead of names. They make our sentences shorter and easier!
Instead of: "Maria likes Maria's dog."
We say: "Maria likes her dog." or "She likes her dog."
| English | Norwegian |
|---|---|
| I | jeg |
| you | du |
| he | han |
| she | hun |
| it | den/det |
| we | vi |
| they | de |
Examples:
- I play football.
- She reads a book.
- They go to school.
| Subject | Object |
|---|---|
| I | me |
| you | you |
| he | him |
| she | her |
| it | it |
| we | us |
| they | them |
Examples:
- Can you help me?
- I like her.
- The teacher talked to us.
Choose the right pronoun: "Tom is my friend. ____ plays with ____ every day."
"Tom is my friend. He plays with me every day."
Why?
- "He" - Tom does the action (playing), so subject pronoun
- "me" - I receive the action (being played with), so object pronoun
Replace the underlined words with a pronoun:
MARIA is my sister.
I gave the book to TOM.
THE CHILDREN are playing.
Fill in the correct pronoun (I, me, he, him, she, her, they, them):
Anna is nice. I like _____.
My brothers are tall. _____ play basketball.
Can you help _____? (me or I)
