The difference between adjective biological subject pronouns and nominal possessive pronouns

The part of speech of the adjective possessive pronoun is an adjective, and it can be followed by a noun.

The nominal possessive pronoun is equivalent to the adjective possessive pronoun plus the above reference. Noun.

For example: one of my friend =a friend of mine

Noun possessive pronoun:

mine

yours

his

hers

its

theirs

Adjective possessive pronoun:

my

his

her

their

its

Possessive pronouns are actually the possessive form of personal pronouns. According to their syntactic functions, possessive pronouns can be divided into two types: adjective and noun. Adjective possessive pronouns must be followed by a noun (e.g.: This is my book. This is my book.). Noun possessive pronouns can be used independently without being followed by a noun (e.g.: This book is mine. This book. be mine.).

The forms of possessive pronouns are shown in the table below:

Person singular and plural

Adjective noun Adjective noun

No. First person pronoun my mine our ours

Second person pronoun your yours your yours

Third person pronoun his

her

its

his

hers

(none)

their

theirs

commonly known as one's

Adjective possessive pronouns are generally placed before a noun and are used as attributives to limit the meaning of the noun. For example:

My name is John Green. My name is John Green.

Excuse me, is this your car? Sorry, is this your car?

His parents are in England.

They wash their faces every day. (Their in this sentence does not need to be translated)

5.3.2 Basic usage of nominal possessive pronouns

⑴ Noun possessive pronouns are used independently in the sentence, that is, not followed by After a noun, its syntactic function is equivalent to a noun. For example:

Ours is a great country. Our country is a great country. (used as a subject, generally used in formal style)

I forgot to bring my dictionary. Could I use yours? I forgot to bring my dictionary. Could I use yours? (used as the object of a verb)

He wasn’t in my room. He might be in his. He might be in his room. (used as the object of a preposition)

Whose book is this? — It’s hers. Whose book is this? — It’s hers. ——It's hers. (used as a predicative)

Jack is a friend of mine. Jack is a friend of mine. (Used for double possessive case)

⑵ When a nominal possessive pronoun is used as a subject, the number of the predicate verb should be determined by the number of the referent.

For example:

Is this pencil yours or hers? — It’s mine. Hers is in her bag. (Hers = Her pencil) Is this pencil yours or hers? --be mine. Her pencil is in her bag. Form

A sentence that begins with a special interrogative word and questions a certain component in the sentence is called a special interrogative sentence. Commonly used question words include: what who whose which when where how why etc. It can be divided into 3 types: interrogative pronouns: what, who, which, whose, who interrogative adverbs: when, where, why, how interrogative adjectives: what (which, whose) + noun

Edit this paragraph There are two word orders for special questions

1. If a question word is used as the subject or the attributive of the subject, that is, it is a question about the subject or the attributive of the subject, the word order is that of the declarative sentence: question word (+ subject) + predicate verb + other components. Such as: who is singing in the room? whose bike is broken? 2. If interrogative words are used as other components, that is, questions about other components, the word order is: interrogative words + general interrogative sentence word order? Such as: what class are you in? What does she look like? Where are you from? What time does he get up every morning? How do you know? General interrogative sentences are a type of interrogative sentences. It refers to sentences answered with yes (yes) or no (no). Its structure is: Coupling verb be/auxiliary verb/modal verb + subject + other components? The usual answer is: Yes: Yes, + subject + auxiliary verb of question. Negative: No, + subject + auxiliary verb of question + not. For example: Are you from Japan? Yes I am. ／ No I'm not． Is her sister doing her homework now? Yes she is． ／ No she isn't． Does he work in a bank? Yes he does． ／ No he doesn't． Do you live near your school? Yes I do． ／No I don't． Can you speak French? Yes I can． ／ No I can't． May I go home now? Yes you may． ／ No you mustn't．

Notes when editing this paragraph:

1. When turning a declarative sentence into a general question, for example, if there are be verbs (am is are...) in the sentence, you can directly mention them before the subject. If the subject is in the first person, change it to the second person.

Such as: I'm in Class 2Grade 1. → Are you in Class 2Grade 1? We're watching TV． → Are you watching TV? 2. When there are modal verbs (can may must...) in the declarative sentence, they can also be mentioned directly in front of the subject to become a general question. Such as: He can swim now. →Can he swim now? The children may come with us． → May the children come with us? 3． In a declarative sentence, there is only one substantive verb as the predicate and its tense is the present simple tense. When it becomes a general question, do or does should be added at the beginning of the sentence and the substantive verb after the subject should be used in its original form. Such as: I like these animals. → Do you like these animals? She wants to go to the movies． → Does she want to go to the movies? 4. General questions are generally pronounced with a rising tone (↑) 5. General questions are sometimes not answered with yes or no. Such as: Are they in town now? I think so. May I sit here? Certainly. Does he like soccer? Sorry I don't know． 6. Generally, the first word of a question sentence is always a function word, and it should be read softly when reading. Proper nouns

Proper names that represent specific people, things, places, groups or institutions (the first letter must be capitalized) Example: China China Asia Asia Beijing Beijing the People's Republic of China Chinese People* **和国

Proper nouns composed of common nouns, that is, proper nouns are phrases containing common nouns. In this case, the definite article the must be used.

For example: ① the Great Wall ② the East Street Hospital East Street Hospital

If the surname is in plural form, it means that the surname is a family (plural meaning), such as: the Greens ( Green family). It is an adverb in the main series structure.

1. What is the main series structure: The so-called main series structure means that the main components in an English sentence are the subject, the linking verb and the predicate.

1. Subject: The subject is the center of a sentence, indicating who or what is being said. Its position is generally placed at the beginning of the sentence. In English, subjects are generally not omitted. The subject is mainly played by a noun, gerund, pronoun, or a phrase or clause that functions as a noun. For example:

Li Lei is a Chinese boy. (Li Lei is a noun and serves as the subject.

)

He is from England. (He is a pronoun and serves as the subject.)

Feeding the birds is my hobby. (“Feeding the birds” is a gerund phrase and serves as the subject. )

What she said is right. (“What she said” is a clause and serves as the subject.)

2. Link verb: The link verb itself has a certain meaning , but it cannot be used as a predicate independently. It must be combined with the predicate in the sentence to form a predicate. Simply put, a verb that connects the subject and the predicate to form a complete sentence is called a linking verb. Coupling verbs learned so far include be, feel, look, sound, taste, smell, etc. For example:

This flower is beautiful.

I felt very tired.

You look worried.

It tastes delicious.

3. Predicative: Predicative is used to explain the identity, characteristics or status of the subject. It is also called subject complement. The predicate is located after the linking verb and is mainly played by nouns, pronouns, adjectives, numerals, adverbs, prepositional phrases, participles (phrases) or gerunds (phrases). For example:

I am fine . ( fine is an adjective, used as a predicate)

He is a boy . ( boy is a noun, used as a predicate)

Five plus two is seven. (Seven is a numeral, used as a predicate)

We are here. (Here is an adverb, used as a predicate)

He is not at home. ( "at home" is a prepositional phrase, used as a predicate)

My hobby is reading. (reading is a gerund, used as a predicate) The rest is simple
