English Grammar - Pronoun: 61 MCQs with Answers

In the sentence 'Harish himself wrote the poem', the underlined words are 'Harish' and 'himself'. 'Harish' is a proper noun as it names a particular person. 'Himself' here is an emphatic (emphasising) pronoun, used to lay stress on the subject and show that no one else wrote the poem. The same word can also act as a reflexive pronoun when the action returns to the doer, as in 'He hurt himself'. Since a reflexive or emphatic pronoun is still a pronoun, the correct answer is Noun, Pronoun.

Since the subject is female (Sita), the correct personal pronoun is 'She'.

'Us' is the objective case form of 'we', used when the pronoun functions as an object.

As a subject, the nominative form 'He' is correct, not the objective 'Him'.

Subject pronouns 'He' and 'I' are correctly used as the subject of the sentence.

After a preposition like 'between', the objective case pronoun 'me' is used, not the nominative 'I'.

'Mine' is a possessive pronoun that stands alone without a following noun, unlike 'my' which needs a noun.

'Yours' is a possessive pronoun showing ownership without needing a following noun.

'Theirs' is the correct possessive pronoun form; it never takes an apostrophe.

'Its' (without apostrophe) is the possessive form of 'it'; 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is'.
