Pronouns

Here is a list of the English pronouns. Remember that some of these can be used as adjectives if they are followed by nouns!

His car is red. (his = adjective)
His is orange. (his = pronoun)


Be careful about some common mistakes with pronouns. A pronoun REPLACES a noun in the sentence, so we can't have a noun and a pronoun together.

INCORRECT: My brother he is a doctor.
CORRECT: My brother is a doctor.
