Pronouns
Un pronom est un mot qui se place après un nom. Voici les différents types de pronoms en anglais.
Pronoms Sujets
Les pronoms sujets remplacent le nom qui est le sujet de la phrase
He would like to sit down.
They are not happy with their meal.
That building is so big it blocks the sun.
She hadn't thought about how many people would be coming to dinner.
We would like to sit at a window table.
Pronoms objet
Les pronoms objet remplacent le nom qui est l'objet de la phrase.
Come with us to the movies.
Take her to the hospital if she is sick
Amelia won't bring it home.
Your friend wants to play with you.
Tell him I said no thank you.
Pronoms Possessifs
Les pronoms possessifs remplacent les noms qui sont soit le sujet, soit l'objet de la phrase.
That bike is not hers.
His one is not the same.
Theirs is the green one.
That’s mine!
The red house is ours.
Pronoms Réfléchis
Les pronoms réfléchis sont utilisés quand le sujet de la phrase est le même que l'objet du verbe.
She hurt herselfplaying tennis.
They can cook for themselves this weekend
He blamed himself for the accident.
You can show yourself out.
Pronoms Intensifs
Ces pronoms accentuent le sujet. Un pronom intensif est différent d'un pronom réfléchi car il peut être enlevé sans modifier la phrase.
The President himself ordered them to stop.
The event itself went really well.
The lawyers themselves couldn't even figure it out.
We would love to make all of the arrangements ourselves.
Pronoms indéfinis
Les pronoms indéfinis ne font pas référence à une personne, une quantité ou une chose spécifique. Ils prennent la même position que le nom dans la phrase.
