ENGLISH 10 Lesson 3 Nouns Pronouns Adjectives

Noun, Pronoun,
and Adjective
Tr. Dianne Maycel | English 10
Noun
A noun is a word that names
something, such as a person, place,
thing, or idea.
Categories of Noun
Common and Proper

Nouns
Nouns that identify general people, places, or things are
called common nouns—they name or identify that which is
common among others. Proper nouns, on the other hand,
are used to identify an absolutely unique person, place, or
thing, and they are signified by capital letters, no matter
where they appear in a sentence.

Nouns of Address
Nouns of address are used in direct speech to identify
the person or group being directly spoken to, or to get that
person’s attention. Like interjections, they are grammatically
unrelated to the rest of the sentence—they don’t modify or
affect any other part of it
Categories of Noun
Nouns of Address
● Jett, I need you to help me with the dishes.
● Can I have some money, Mom?

● This, class, is the video I was telling you about.
● Sorry, Teacher, I didn’t see you there.

Categories of Noun
Concrete and Abstract Nouns

Concrete nouns name people, places, animals, or things
that are physically tangible.
● table ● people
● rocks ● Africa
● lake ● MacBook
● countries ● Jonathan
Categories of Noun
Concrete and Abstract Nouns

Abstract nouns name intangible things, such as
concepts, ideas, feelings, characteristics, attributes, etc.
● love
● hate
● decency
● conversation
● emotion
Pronoun
Pronouns are words that are used in
place of nouns in a sentence. The noun
being replaced is known as the
antecedent of the pronoun.
Categories of Pronoun
Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns are used to represent
people in a sentence. Personal pronouns experience
a wide range of inflection, meaning they change
form to reflect specific meaning in different
contexts.
Subjective Case
When a personal pronoun is the person or
thing doing the action, it is in the subjective
case.
● I know that she said that.
● He told her to be quiet.

Objective Case
A personal pronoun is in the objective case
when it is a direct or indirect object of a verb.
● Superman saved us from the asteroid.

● I can’t believe he brought you flowers
Objective Case
You said to give you the money as

soon as I had it.
Possessive Case
The possessive case changes the inflection
of a personal pronoun to mark possession.
There are two forms of personal pronouns in
the possessive case: possessive determiners,
and possessive pronouns.
Possessive Determiner
Possessive determiners function grammatically like
adjectives, modifying a noun or nouns. However, they
cannot function as nouns in a sentence.
● My dad’s glasses went missing.

● Hey, those glasses are my!
Possessive Pronoun
Possessive pronouns are personal pronouns in the
possessive case which have the grammatical function
of nouns.
● I can see mine through the window!

● Jenny seems pretty sure that the book is
hers.
Reﬂexive Pronoun
Reflexive pronouns are used when someone or
something is both the subject and the object of the
same verb. The reflexive pronoun is used as the object
of the verb to represent the person or thing.
● I heard you speaking. x
● I heard myself speaking.

Reﬂexive Pronoun
● The players have really outdone themselves
today.
● She admitted to herself that she was wrong.

Intensive Pronoun
Intensive pronouns do not serve a
grammatical function in a sentence; instead,
they add emphasis by reiterating the subject of
the sentence.
● The surgeon general himself will oversee the
operation.
Intensive Pronoun
● He did it himself, much to everyone’s
surprise.
● We designed the album artwork ourselves.

Adjective
Adjectives are used almost exclusively to
modify nouns, as well as any phrase
or part of speech functioning as a noun.
Categories of Adjectives
Proper Adjectives
Proper adjectives, like all adjectives, modify
nouns, but they are different from other
adjectives because they are actually formed
from proper nouns.
Demonstrative adjectives
We use demonstrative adjectives to
specify what we are referring to, to indicate
whether the person or thing is singular or
plural, and to give the listener information
about that person or object’s proximity to the
speaker.
Demonstrative adjectives
● I want this console for Christmas.
● These toys I’m holding are my brother’s
favorites.
● That toy on the table over there is my
brother’s favorite.
Thanks!
