Here's how it works:
* Pronouns as adjectives: These pronouns usually come before the noun they modify, acting like descriptive words. They often answer questions like "which one?", "how many?", or "what kind?".
* Types of Pronouns that act as Adjectives:
* Possessive pronouns: These pronouns indicate ownership or possession (e.g., *my*, *your*, *his*, *her*, *its*, *our*, *their*).
* Example: "My car is red." (*My* modifies the noun *car*)
* Demonstrative pronouns: These pronouns point out specific items or people (e.g., *this*, *that*, *these*, *those*).
* Example: "That book is interesting." (*That* modifies the noun *book*)
* Interrogative pronouns: These pronouns ask questions (e.g., *which*, *what*, *whose*). When used before a noun, they act like adjectives.
* Example: "Which movie do you want to watch?" (*Which* modifies the noun *movie*)
Examples:
* This book is great! (Demonstrative pronoun *this* acts as an adjective modifying *book*)
* Our team won the game. (Possessive pronoun *our* acts as an adjective modifying *team*)
* What kind of music do you like? (Interrogative pronoun *what* acts as an adjective modifying *kind*)
Remember: While pronouns can sometimes act like adjectives, they are still considered pronouns. They are simply functioning in a different way within the sentence.
