a. practice the theories, principles and definitions of pronouns into communicative
activities;
b. write letters;
c. perform different tasks in application to pronoun lessons;
d. organize thoughts properly to convey clear ideas

your house. That room is like a spaceship. I assume thats yours.
Raymond: Yeah, thats mine. Its wall is made of stainless steel. I wanted it to be like that
because I like spaceships.
Tim: How about that small room? Is that your sisters room?
Raymond: Youre right. That is hers. her room is totally different from mine. Its motif is
nature.
Tim: By the way, wheres your brothers room?
Raymond: His room is just beside my room. His is simple unlike mine, which is very
intricate.
Reflexive pronouns show that a pronoun refers back to the subject. They
are used when the subject and the object are the same.
Example:
She hurt herself.
Intensive pronouns show emphasis. An intensive pronoun
immediately follows a noun or a personal pronoun or is placed at the end
of the sentence.
Example:
He himself filed the case.
