200 Words English Learners Need to Know

Pronouns

Pronouns in English are divided into eight groups. We'll look at the most useful of several groups. Given that some forms of personal pronouns are the same, it is necessary to remember 40 words.

Personal pronouns

There are more cases in Russian than in English. Instead of several pronouns, for example "him", "them", "him", "about him", the English use only one - him. This greatly simplifies the memorization of words.

Possessive pronouns

They indicate who owns a particular item. There is only one word form for all genera.

Demonstrative pronouns

There are only four pronouns in this group. They will help determine the number and distance of objects pointed to by the speaker.

Reflexive pronouns

You can easily remember these words if you understand their structure. This group of pronouns is formed using the word self, which means "person, entity." And in the plural it changes to selves. Reflexive pronouns are translated in the same way: "yourself", "yourself" or "yourself", "yourself".

Indefinite pronouns

You can add the words body (if we are talking about animate beings) or thing (if we are talking about inanimate objects) to these pronouns, then they will not require a noun after themselves. For example: everybody - "every person"; nothing - "nothing".

Interrogative pronouns

These pronouns are needed to formulate questions.
