1/ Pronouns:

Pronouns
I Me My Mine

He / She / It Him / Her / It His / Her / Its His / Hers
We Us Our Ours
You You Your Yours
They Them Their Theirs

• Direct Object Pronouns:

These replace the noun directly receiving the action of the verb.

Examples:

− I see her. ("Her" replaces "the girl.")


− They invited us. ("Us" replaces "me and my friends.")

• Indirect Object Pronouns:

These replace the noun receiving the action indirectly, often answering "to whom" or "for
whom" the action is done.

Examples:

− She gave him a book. ("Him" replaces "to John.")


− I sent them an email. ("Them" replaces "to the students.")

for sb, find sth for sb, get sth for sb, make read sth to sb, sell sth to sb, show sth to sb,

2/ Adjectives:

- Adjectives + one/ones: We use one (singular) and ones (plural) to avoid repeating a
noun that has already been mentioned:

Adjectives + one (singular): Used when referring to a single item.

o Example: Which shirt do you want? The red one. (One replaces "shirt.")

Adjectives + ones (plural): Used when referring to multiple items.

o Example: Which apples are better? The green ones.(Ones replaces "apples.")
- A bit / much + Comparative Adjective

A bit: Used to show a small difference in comparison.

o Example: This book is a bit more interesting than the other one. (The
difference in how interesting they are is small.)
Much: Used to emphasize a big difference in comparison.
o Example: This car is much faster than that one. (The difference in speed is
significant.)
➢ Key Tip: Both a bit and much are placed before the comparative adjective (more
interesting, faster).

Adjective Comparative Superlative

Stressed More stressed The most stressed
