This lesson does many things. It gives you all types of pronouns there are in one go. It will teach you the rules to identify pronouns as replacements of nouns and show you how to use them correctly with subject verb agreement. It will also show you how to guard against the common error of confusing pronouns with adjectives. It quickly tells you the difference between emphatic and reflexive pronouns which is another confusing area. It also deals with the relative pronoun in subordinating clauses. It is logical, clear and progressive. Not to be missed.

I have never seen a teacher like you .your class benefitted me a lot.
I am so happy I could help. Good luck.
Ma'am u r a genius. There were a few doubts which I had and this video has apparently cleared it all. Thank you. I follow all ur videos I have also purchased ur grammar with ease book and the Alphabet book for my son. He loves going through all the pictures. God bless you Ma'am. Would love to attend a live session on grammar.
Most welcome 😊 Thanks a lot Mary Rose.
Fantastic explanation mam thank you so much
Most welcome 😊
any comprehensive book of grammar you suggest to teaching community from your own lot though we learnt that (from your talks/teachings) it is the practice and indulgence into language that makes one become near to perfection..
You will get many comprehensive grammar books in the market. But as rightly understood, practice is essential for absorption and to make connections. So I recommend my Langauge with Ease books for practice The 6 & 7 books are fairly advanced. Daily practice will make perfect and these books give you the fodder.
In First I was confused about pronoun and it's kind but now you alrady no me that pronoun are replacing the noun so thankyou for the video and teaching perfectly and understandable
Thanks for this video
Glad to hear that.
It is very well explained...but if you could provide few examples on reflexive n emphatic ..little confused in that ..hv seen the video ..but still not clear ..few examples would help
Love the way you ease out concepts.God bless you ma'am.Is the advanced version of your grammar book out?
Thanks. I still have to finish the advanced version. Meanwhile if you want advanced exercises you should go for Language with Ease grade 6 & 7. Answer keys on kindle.
I love it mam this is so simple the way u explained is beauty
Thanks a lot 😊
Ma'am I want to clarify my doubt.
My friend is a doctor himself.
Himself in above sentence is emphatic pronoun. Am I right ?
Sorry for asking so many questions.
Yes.
So nice to watch the talented teacher's class.
Thank you! 😃
Ur lessons and way of presenting them r just lovely....luv u mam
Thanks a lot. Love you too.
Thank you so much ma'am for the remarkable lecture. Ma'am I'm solving some objectives and I'm confuse with this question- _______ of these dogs belongs to our neighbour.
Options. a) all b)each c)some d)either
Ma'am can you please give the reasons too.. I'll be delighted if you can kindly take your time for my question. Thank-you.
You tell me your answer. I will give you a hint: check out the tense of the verb. Your subject must agree with it.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher ma'am since the determiner noun and verbs are in a plural form can we use some ...I'm confused with each cause this one refers to singular form but my friends here are saying the answer is each
Madam i remember my good teachers like you 45 yrs back
Names sundaramoorrhy, Aranganathan, sachidanandam, vaiyapuri, chakkaravarthy, marimuthu that are good teachees in govt school.
Thank you kind sir. I am honored to be counted amongst those august teachers.
Very well explained.
Ma'am thankyou so much for making grammar sound so easy.
Thanks for liking
Thanks ma'am once again. Could you please give us some worksheets so that we can test our learning.
There is no dearth of worksheets Shilpa. Open any child's book and you have nothing but worksheets in them. It is teaching that is scarce :))))
Ma'am in the sentence " The girl who is standing near the door" I think who is an adjective but I am not sure Pls clarify it...
It is a relative pronoun which acts as a conjunction to a subordinate adjective clause if you complete your sentence: The girl who is standing near the door is my sister. You sentence is now incomplete.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher thankyou teacher .... Thanks for replying
Mam here in reflexive pronoun after the pronoun myself you use noun”a cup” so it is acceptable for all reflexive pronoun or it is wrong?
I made a cup of coffee for myself. Here myself is reflexive for the pronoun I. Why are you confused. cup is not coming after I or myself. Are we saying I cup made ..... or myself cup?
Thank u mam....I am understand good.......u are great teacher
Fir eng
Glad to hear that. Good luck.
Thanks mam
Mam this made my concept Crystal clear
Excellent. Best of luck.
Ma'am kindly let me know
I met the teacher myself .
Is it emphatic or reflexive?
It is emphatic. It emphasises that you yourself met the teacher. If it were reflexive the action will come back to you. I made myself some tea. The emphatic would be I myself made the tea (not the maid)
Mam u teach very nicely
Thanks a lot
Mam , I can understand pronouns now . Mam , can you tell what is empathic & interrogative pronouns examples
It is there in the video.
fantastic ma'am. explanation was so simple. rules explained were great. each and every word should be noted down.
one doubt . while explaining indefinite pronoun, you said several, some, all, few people turned up. People is a common noun. So "several, some, all, few" should be termed as an adjective. pls clear the doubt
Oh did I? If there is a noun after it, it is an adjective. some people - adjective; there were some - pronoun. I think I have repeated that bit over and over, so I hope my slip is forgiven.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher thankyou for clearing the doubt.
You should be my school class teacher as you explain so well.I feel as I will become a topper in Neerja Modi School.
You can watch all my videos. If you are in Neerja Modi you are already doing my books. So my blessings to you to top.
Ma'am could you please explain how neither, such,none be demonstrative pronouns. In school text books it is given as so.
Any word is a pronoun if it replaces a noun. It is demonstrative if it points to or indicates something. So you have to see what work those words are doing in the sentence.
example: None are spoilt. Here 'none' stands for a noun that has been referred to earlier. maybe mangoes.
But what is it demonstrating? nothing.
Demonstrative pronouns are words like this, that, these, those. Just 4 of them. So the book is wrong.
Thank you so much ma'am
Can you please tell me what is the difference between relative pronouns and conjunctions?
Relative pronouns (who, whom, that) can also be conjunctions when they join to clauses. e.g. Who is coming? (who stands for a person) It is a relative pronoun.
The girl who is in the pink dress is my sister. ('who' joins the 2 clauses - the girl is my sister /the girl is in the pink dress. Here 'who' replaces the repeated second noun 'the girl', hence relative pronoun but also conjunction)
Goodevening ma'am,
I found the children are confused when they use who and whom, even they know whom is an object pronoun.could you please guide me on this.? How can I clear the confusion?
Ask the verb if it is subject or object.
Who is at the door? verb is - ask who? answer Subect -who.
To whom should I ask. verb should ask. Answer: subject - I object - whom
Madam your English is very fluent Thank you Madam
You are most welcome. Thank you.
Mam what about the following example-
This is Ram's pen
Here Ram can be replaced by the word his. Here 'his' is an adjective but at the same time as per the rule, 'his' here is a pronoun also as Ram(noun) is replaced by his(pronoun). Isn't it??
yes the word 'his' has a dual function. We could say his bag or the bag is his. We distinguish this by naming the first one a possessive adjective and the second a possessive pronoun.
This happens only with 'his' and 'its' In all others the pronouns are distinct : mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs.
The possessive adjective has a pronominal function in that it replaces Ram's which is both a proper noun and a possessive adjective.
One of the complications of grammar.

Most welcome 😊
Ma'am can you make a video on conditionals
Noted.
Goodevening ma'am
In the video , I 've seen that when and where are interogative pronouns.In the following sentences like When is your birthday? My answers Tomorrow a or march 12 are not nouns but adverbs of time. Could you please clear my doubt in this?
March is a proper noun as the name of a month. You can answer a quesiton with a noun if you want to. But yes, in the answer to this question, it has an adverb function.
BUt if i said March 12 is an important day. It will not have any adverb function. It will be a noun. So nouns can have adverb or adjectival functions.
Do not label words. Check the work they do.
Understood Ma'am. Thank you maam
Madam, In respect of reciprocal pronoun I fear that you have'nt given due stress on the usage that each other is used for two and one another is used for more than two. Please clarify.
Reciprocal and emphatic pronouns need to be done together. They are special pronouns that need more explanation as they are often interchanged. Will upload soon.
Nice explanation . Tq madam

Can u please explain clause
A clause has a subject and a verb in it. Just look for these.
Nice teaching Madam ji
Thanks a lot Abdul.
What is the difference between relative pronoun and subordinate conjunction?
In the case of 'who/which/that' they are relative pronouns because they stand for the noun and relate it to the following phrase or clause. e.g. The man who is in the black coat is the celebrity. But it is also the subordinating marker or conjunction (which man?) that begins the adjectival clause, isn't it? So there is no difference. Both labels show what the word does.
Enjoying ur sessions thoroughly 😊 thank you maam 🙏
Glad to hear that
Great👍🏻

Thanks a lot
thanks mam it was a very easy exam for me in the school because of you
😊😊
Most welcome 😊
Madam please explain why 'It is I' and not It is me. Thanks
Both are correct in conversational usage.
But I is the correct formal form. The grammar in it is this: I is a subject pronoun and me is the object pronoun. We never say 'He loves I' do we? We say: He loves me. Both he and me are two different people.
'It' is the impersonal pronoun referring to a situation or a person e.g. It is cold. (the weather) or It is he who went there. (the person)
It is I - here it refers to 'I'. exactly like: It is he, It is we etc.
The I here is the same as 'it' so behaves like a complement.
You would follow it with a relative clause that refers to 'I' not me. e.g. It is I who am here. Who is there? I am (not me am)
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Mam please make me understand the difference between Reflexive pronoun and Emphatic pronoun
Watch the video again. It is explained.
Nice

Awesome
Thanks.
Man can u please explain parts of speech
I have done 'Parts of Speech' in Hindi - ua-cam.com/video/EVJtTfAsCIY/v-deo.html
Dear madam, i request you , please use a dark pen because it is very difficult to read . Thank you..
Yes I am aware of this problem. Will do.
Dear Mam,
Can an infinitive phrase be an antecedant for a pronoun? Example is there a mistake in the following sentence?
John loves to bake, and he is an expert at it.
Yes, it can, because the infinitive (to bake) functions as a noun in this sentence. Even if you replace it with a gerund (baking), the pronoun will agree with it in gender and number.
That is wriitten in both relative n demonstrate. I haven't understand ma'am
Good question. Words do not have any function, it is their work in the sentence that gives them their names.
1. That (as a conjunction) joins two phrases or clauses e.g. She said that she was sick. (she said /she was sick) This is for a noun clause. Answers what? said what? that......
2.That as relative or adjective clause describes the noun in the sentence. The car that is brown is mine. Which car? That is brown. That is normally used for things and 'who' for people.
3. That as a demonstrative adjective points out to something far away (That bag, that girl that tree)
4. That as demonstrative pronoun has no noun after it. (that is mine, that is not fair, that is good ) It stands for some noun or noun phrase or clause hence pronoun.
so check out what the word 'that' is doing in the sentence.
in she, can you use an apostrophe? eg - she's going out? will this be a pronoun?
A pronoun will never ever ever have an apostrophe. NEVER. She's going has a contraction. The apostrophe stands for the missing letter or letters. In this case it is the letter 'i' of 'is' - hence contracted verb.
Is 'Where' an interrogative pronoun or a Interrogative adverb?
Interrogative pronouns are question words that stand for a noun and can be replaced by one. Interrogative adverbs are question words that answer the question when, where, how, why put to the verb. So it depends on what is seen as the function. Where do you live? Live where? = adverb. Who is that girl? Who = the girl So here it is a pronoun. Hope this helps.

Q- Every man and every woman has his own fascinations. ( error)
Correction - every man and every woman have their own fascinations.
Q_ Every leader and every citizen have a duty towards their country.
Correction- Every leader and every citizen has a duty towards his country
May I know why for the same distributive pronouns different verbs are used?
Your first sentence correction is wrong. The original sentence is correct. I'd only add his/her instead of 'his' only as there is the mention of a woman. Subject agrees with the verb and every man (singular) every woman (singular) The 'and' does not add to make it plural. It just offers an additional singular subject.
