文法
Pronouns
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns in a sentence. Pronouns are a very important part of the English language, so be sure to take the time to learn them.
There are three types of pronouns in English: subject, object, and possessive. The subject is what is doing the action and the object is what is receiving or affected by the action.
Possessive Adjectives are used in front of a noun to show who the noun belongs to. Possessive pronouns are pronouns that indicate ownership. They can be used to replace a possessive adjective and its noun. For example: It is my cup. It is mine. The cup is mine.
The pronoun you is used when referring to a single person as well as multiple people. Its subject and object forms are the same. You is used in both formal and informal situations.
Subject | Object | Poss. Adj. | Poss. Pronoun | |
---|---|---|---|---|
I | me | my | mine | 私 |
you | you | your | yours | 貴方 |
he | him | his | his | 彼 |
she | her | her | hers | 彼女 |
it | it | its | its | それ |
we | us | our | ours | 我々 |
they | them | their | theirs | 彼ら |
Reflexive Pronouns
A reflexive pronoun is used as the object when the subject and object are the same person. The expression by + reflexive pronoun means alone. Example: Anna lives by herself.
The following table shows the English reflexive pronouns.
Pronoun | Reflexive Pronoun |
---|---|
I | myself |
you | yourself |
she | herself |
he | himself |
it | itself |
one | oneself |
we | ourselves |
they | themselves |
例
I pour myself a glass of juice. | |
Mark blames himself for the accident. | |
Brad and Tammy can't finish the work by themselves. |
