Pronouns and Prepositions (Tue, 10/1/12)

Fifteenth class

So, Aira and the gang did a presentation on pronouns and prepositions that day. Their group members were Hanis, Leyha, Nina and of course Aira.

According to them (according to you~) pronoun is a word that takes the place and to refer something BUT do not name it.

There are many kinds of pronouns, like:

• Subjective Pronouns

He spends ages looking out the window.

• Possessive Pronouns

The red basket is mine.

• Demonstrative Pronouns

That is a good idea.

• Interrogative Pronouns

What on earth is that?

• Indefinite Pronouns

Something smells good. 

• Relative Pronouns

Hector is a photographer who does great work.

• Reflexive Pronouns

I learned a lot about myself at summer camp.

• Intensive Pronouns

The queen herself visited our class.


The examples were from these two sites, of which I find really helpful:

The next slide was about prepositions.


A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.


For example, Aqil ran from his sister and hid under the table.   =D 

You can read more about it on the internet. Just search for 'prepositions'.


After the presentation, there was a game of word-search. 

Here's Din searching hard for his word :)

That was all for that day, bye!
