Part II. Identifying Pronouns
1. C: “I” is a first-person singular personal pronoun, subjective case. Pronouns
are words that can be used in place of nouns. “John” (A) is a name and
hence a proper noun. “And” (B) is a conjunction connecting “John” and “I.”
“Art” (D) in this sentence is an adjective modifying the noun “exhibit.”
2. D: “Me” is the first-person singular personal pronoun, objective case, i.e. it is
used when the pronoun is an object. (“I” is used when the pronoun is the
subject.) Here it is the object of the preposition “between” (C). “That” (A) is an
adjective modifying the noun “information.” “Was” (B) is the past tense of the
verb “to be.”
3. D: “Them” is the third-person plural personal pronoun, objective case. Here it
is the indirect object of the preposition “to.” “But” (A) is a conjunction. “Gave”
(B) is the past tense of the verb “to give.” “Those” (C) is a plural demonstrative
adjective modifying the noun “things.”
4. C: “My” is the possessive form of the first-person singular personal pronoun.
Here it modifies the noun “tabby.” “Between” (A) is a preposition showing
place and modifying “the two.” “Younger” (B) is a comparative adjective
modifying the noun “cat.” “Is” (D) is the present tense of the linking
verb/copula “to be.” Its first instance is complemented by the noun “tabby”
and the second by the comparative adjective “older.”
5. B: “Us” is the first-person plural personal pronoun, objective case. It is the
indirect object of the verb “seem” here. “Big” (A) is an adjective modifying
the possessive noun “banks’.” “Seem” (C) is a verb, present tense plural. “To”
(D) is a preposition connecting “seem unfair” (verb and adjective) with “us.”
6. A: “Her” is the third-person singular feminine personal pronoun, objective
case. It is the indirect object of the preposition “to.” “Did” (B) is the past tense
of “to do,” used here as an auxiliary verb helping the predicate verb “look.”
“The” (C) is a definite article modifying the noun “arrangement.” “Not” (D) is
an adverb modifying the verb “look.”
7. B: “Me” is the first-person singular personal pronoun, objective case. It is an
indirect object of the preposition “for.” “Renee” (A) is a name and thus is a
proper noun. “Going” (C) is a gerund of the verb “to go” and is the subject of
the sentence. “Together” (D) is an adverb modifying “going” and indicating
manner (how).
8. C: “His” is the third-person singular possessive personal pronoun. It modifies
the noun “life.” “Kevin” (A) is a name and therefore is a proper noun. “That”
(B) is a subordinating conjunction introducing the clause “that he had wanted
to be a nurse all of his life,” which is dependent on the independent clause
“Kevin told me.” “Nurse” (D) is a noun.
9. D: “Them” is a third-person plural pronoun, objective case. It is the object of
the preposition “of.” “Rest” (A) is a noun. “Were” (B) is the past tense plural of
the verb “to be,” linking to the plural noun “members.” “Club” (C) is a noun.
10. A: “You” is the second-person personal pronoun. It is used as both a
singular and a plural. It is the subject of this sentence and also the subject of
the dependent clause “when you did that,” which is introduced by the
subordinating adverb “when” (D). “Think” (B) is a verb. “Would” (C) is an
auxiliary verb helping the verb “happen.”
