  1. The Power of Pronouns Pronouns get their power from the nouns they replace.

  2. Pronoun Power • A pronoun is used in place of a noun or another pronoun. • For example: Carla and Mitchell lift weights every day, but Mitchell is much stronger because he is a professional body builder.

  3. The Pronoun Cases • There are three pronoun cases: Nominative Case Objective Case Possessive Case

  4. NominativeCase • The nominative case is also called the subject case because pronouns can act as the subject of the sentence or as the predicate nominative. (predicate noun) • For Example: Mrs. Troncale is a teacher. She has been teaching in Trussville for twelve years. She is a nominative pronoun because it acts as the subject of the sentence.

  5. Objective Case • Object pronouns receive the action of a verb. • Object pronouns can act as direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of the preposition. • For Example: Mary threw the ball. • Mary is the subject performing the action of throwing, but the ball is receiving the action which makes it the direct object.

  6. Possessive Case • Possessive pronouns show possession. • Possessive pronouns do not use apostrophe’s to show possession like nouns, but instead they have their very own word to express possessives. • For Example: That is your suitcase, but this one is mine. Notice there are no apostrophe’s. • Which one is the possessive pronoun: they’re, or their? Remember the rule above.
