The pronoun other. About English with love. Pronouns each, every

Features of the use of vocabulary (another, other, others, the others)

Pronoun other– ‘other’, ‘other’ is used before nouns and is formed either by indefinite or definite articles, depending on the semantic orientation of the statement and the specific conditions of speech.

Another(an+other) is a pronoun with an indefinite article. The following countable noun is always in the singular:

I don't like this pencil; please give me another one.
I don't like this pencil. Give me another one, please.

Pronoun other It has both singular and plural forms and can be used with either the definite or the zero article. In the plural in the absence of a noun, a pronoun other accepts form others . Pronoun other, thus, can take the following forms:

1) the other book = the other
the other books = the others
2) another book = another
3) other books = others

The choice of one form or another, as already mentioned, depends on the semantic orientation of the utterance and the specific conditions of speech.

If the pronoun other is a concretizing definition that singles out the noun that follows it, on the basis of any sign from a number of similar ones, then before the pronoun other there is a definite article:

There are two English books on the table. You are asking:
“Whose books are they?”
“Whose books are these?”
“One of the books is mine and the other is Ann’s.”
“One of the books is mine, and the other is Anina.”

The form the other used for another specific object when choosing from two possible ones. In the event that the choice is made from a larger number of objects, then the pronoun is used another to refer to any other object outside of a specific relation:

Your sister is upset. She lost her pen. You comfort her.
“Don't worry, dear. I'll buy you another one."
"Do not worry. I'll buy you another one."

Pronouns behave the same way. others And the others. If you include other objects in the number known to both interlocutors, then you must select form the others :

There are four English books on the table. You are asking:
“Whose books are these?”
"Whose books are these?"
“One of them is mine, and the others are my sister’s.”
“One of them is mine and the others are my sisters.”

Pronoun others it is appropriate to choose if the word "other" denotes objects simply related to one group or another:

You asked the lab assistant where the books from the lab went. They answered you:
“Some of the books have been taken by the teachers and others by the pupils.”
“Some books were taken by the teachers, and others were taken by the students.”

A pronoun or pronoun is a part of speech that indicates objects, quantities, or signs, without naming them. As in Russian, pronouns in English can act as a subject, a predicate, or one of the secondary members of a sentence.

The whole catch with using pronouns is that without a specific context, the meaning of pronoun sentences can be lost. That is why in most cases pronouns are used to replace the previously mentioned objects, persons, signs.

As you can see from the example above, pronouns help to dilute the text by avoiding frequent repetition of the same words. Thanks to them, the proposals do not sound monotonous and primitive.

But let's dwell on the varieties of pronouns and study in more detail the features of each in order to avoid mistakes or stupor in communication.

By structure, English pronouns are divided into 3 groups:

Group difference Example
1 Simplepronouns or simple pronouns Consist of a single root I- I

he- is he

they- they

us- US

the same- same

whose- whose

2 Compoundpronouns or compound pronouns Consist of two or more roots somebody(some + body) = someone

myself(my + self) = myself / self

nothing(no + thing) = nothing

3 Compositepronouns or compound pronouns Consist of multiple words each other- each other

one another- each other

Pronouns in English: types

The types of pronouns in English are a more diverse list, consisting of 9 sub-items. Let's consider each in more detail:

Personal Pronouns or Personal Pronouns

Personal Pronouns or Personal Pronouns is one of the most widely used groups. This is the only kind of pronoun in English that has a declension. Declension of pronouns in English is much simpler, since the number of cases is limited to only two:

Cases Nominative Objective case
difference Used instead of nouns Used instead of supplement
declination
person and number
1 l., units I- I me- me / me / by me
1 l., pl. we- we us[ʌs] - us / us / us
2 l., unit you- you you- you / you
2 l., pl. you- you you- you / you / you
3 l., unit he- is he

she[ʃi:] - she

it- this is it

him- his / him / them

her- her / her

it- this

3 l., pl. they[ðei] - they them[ðem] - them / them / them

It is important to note that:

  • the pronoun I (I) in English is always capitalized.
  • In English, they don't speak "you" or "you", in both cases the pronoun you should be used, which makes it easier to start a conversation with a stranger.
  • The pronoun it in English, in turn, is used when referring to inanimate objects, animals and birds. However, very often pet owners refer to them using the pronouns he and she, so such a substitution will not be considered a mistake.

Examples of using:

I had no idea she is so talented. I had no idea that she so talented.
I want to warn you that she has a very complicated character. I want to warn you, what she has very complex character.
He is really proud of them. He really proud of them.
could you translate me the exercises into English? Could you you translate to me are these exercises in english?
It is such a pleasure to be surrounded by all these intelligent people. (This) Such a pleasure to be surrounded by all these smart people.
Whatever happens they will always love you. Whatever happens, they will always be you be in love.
I love my puppy he (it) is such a lovely boy. I love my puppy is he such a lovely boy.
It has an indirect relationship to the case. This is indirectly related to the case.

Possessive Pronouns or Possessive Pronouns

Possessive Pronouns or Possessive pronouns are a type of English pronoun that shows ownership and answers the question “whose?”. There are 2 forms of possessive pronouns:

Attached Form Absolute form
my- my mine- my
your- is yours yours- is yours
his- his his- his
her- her hers- her
its- his its- his
your- your yours- your
our- our ours- our
their[ðeə(r)] - their theirs[ðeəz] - their
This form of the possessive pronoun is in front of a person/thing. It shows ownership and replaces articles. Sometimes these pronouns can be omitted when translated into Russian. Replaces a noun that has already been discussed to minimize repetition.

Examples of the use of English pronouns of this type in tables:

Attached Form
Her life was full of ups and downs. Her life was full of ups and downs.
Our relationship with Ann is not your business. Our relationship with Ann is not your a business.
My goal in life is to make a contribution to the world prosperity. My the goal in life is to contribute to the prosperity of the world.
I intend to keep my word. I intend to contain (own) word.
All members of my family study English. All members my families learn English.
Absolute form
Don't even look at her; this girl is mine. Don't even look at her; this girl my.
It's not my guilty but yours. It's not my fault, but yours.
The idea was his, not ours. The idea was his, but not our.

Reflexive Pronouns or Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive Pronouns or Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that are equivalent to the Russian pronouns “himself” and “himself” or particle -sya in verbs.

myself I cut myself while shaving.

(I cut Xia while shaving.)

yourself Can you tell us a little about yourself?

(Can you tell me a little about yourself?)

himself You shouldn't come because George will do everything himself.

(You don't have to come, because George will do everything myself.)

herself She can't write a coursework herself.

(She can't write term paper alone (on her own).)

(Oh my God, look on themyself!)

ourselves We must take care of ourselves.

(We should themselves take care of yourself.)

themselves[ðəm'selvz] They identify themselves as heroes.

(They consider myself heroes.)

This type of pronoun cannot be used with self-directed verbs. These include words such as: feel (feel), bath (take a shower), wash (wash), hide (hide).

Reciprocal Pronouns or Reciprocal Pronouns

Reciprocal Pronouns or Reciprocal Pronouns is one of the smallest groups, consisting of two compound pronouns that are used alone or after prepositions.

Interrogative Pronouns or Interrogative Pronouns

Interrogative Pronouns or Interrogative Pronouns are pronouns that begin special questions. These include:

what- what / what What are you going to do next?
who- who will win Who told you that nonsense?

(Who told you this nonsense?)

which- which / which Which of these cars do you like more?

(Which Which of these cars do you like best?

(When Do you have time to do Spanish exercises with me?)

where- where / where Where do you usually spend time in the evening?

(Where do you usually spend time in the evening?

Note that the pronoun who does not require an auxiliary verb. It can also be used in place of the pronoun whose. Often there is a problem of choosing between the pronouns which and what in the meaning of "what". Which is used when the choice is limited, what when the choice is unlimited.

Relative and Conjunctive Pronouns or Relative and Connective Pronouns

Relative and Conjunctive Pronouns or Relative and connecting pronouns - groups of pronouns, the use of which in English is necessary in a complex sentence, or rather in its subordinate clause. Relative pronouns in English have words in their list that are similar to interrogative pronouns, but their translation and functions are different.

that[ðæt] - which

(for animate and inanimate objects)

Do you know the girl that is standing over there?

(You know girl, which standing over there?)

which- which the

(for inanimate objects)

Demonstrative Pronouns or Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative Pronouns or Demonstrative pronouns are pronouns that in English indicate a person or object, highlighting them from the mass. In addition to the determiner of the noun, in the sentence there are in the role of subject and object.

Examples of using:

That game was fantastic! (Ta) The game was fantastic!
This is that man I talked about. This is the one the person I was talking about.
You deserve to be happy, don't forget about this. You deserve to be happy, don't forget about this.

(I want to ask several questions.)

several- several Several men appeared in front of me.

(before me appeared several human.)

As you may have noticed, quantitative pronouns in English with a translation into Russian turn into adverbs. In addition, despite the fact that many quantitative pronouns are translated the same way, in English you need to be able to distinguish them in order to correctly express your thoughts with certain pronouns in certain situations.

Indefinite Pronouns and Negative Pronouns or Indefinite Pronouns and Negative Pronouns

Indefinite Pronouns and Negative Pronouns or Indefinite pronouns and negative pronouns are the most extensive group of pronouns.

This group includes the pronouns some, any, no and every, as well as their derivatives, with which you can make both a definite and a negative pronoun.

Basic pronouns Derivatives
thing one body where
some something - something someone - someone somebody - someone somewhere - somewhere
any anything - anything anyone - someone anyone - someone anywhere - anywhere
no nothing - nothing no one - no one nobody - no one nowhere - nowhere
every everything - everything everyone - everyone everybody - everyone everywhere - everywhere

Another pair of indefinite pronouns is other and another. Both words are translated as "other", but do not confuse their use cases. The pronoun other is used with certain nouns. It can also be used with plural nouns. While the pronoun another is used exclusively in the singular with indefinite nouns.

Let's look at some examples:

I have something to tell you. I need you something say.
When I needed help no one picked up the phone. When I needed help none didn't pick up the phone.
Nobody deserves your tears. None does not deserve your tears.
each of them should be aware of the great potential of this business. Every of them should be aware of the great potential of this case.
His shadow follows her everywhere she goes. His shadow haunts her wherever she didn't go.
Emily is a recluse, and she wants to see nobody. Emily is a recluse and she nobody doesn't want to see.
Did anyone see my English notebook? anyone Have you seen my English notebook?
Why should I choose one bag if I can buy both? Why should I choose one bag if I can buy both?

Actually, that's all. These were all kinds of pronouns in English. Having dealt with the structure and having studied all the categories of pronouns, you will not have difficulties in using them in practice. When confusion arises, refer to the tables above, do the exercises, study these examples and come up with your own.

When using who as an interrogative pronoun in the function of the nominal part of the predicate, the linking verb agrees in person and number with the nouns or pronoun that expresses the subject:

  • Who are they(those people)? - Who are they (these people)?
  • Who is she (the girl)? - Who is she (this girl)?

When using who, who, as a relative pronoun in the subject function, the predicate can be both in the singular and in the plural:

  • This girl who was still barely twenty had already worked five years.
  • They heard the slow and guarded movements of those who were on the bank.-- They heard the slow, guarded movements of those who were on the bank.

Who as a relative pronoun is used in the turnover it is (was) ... who when highlighting the subject denoting a person.

Pronoun whom is the object case form of the pronoun who. As well as who, the pronoun whom is used in relation to persons; Whom is used as both an interrogative and a relative pronoun:

  • Whom do you represent? - Who do you represent?
  • Not politely inquired after my brother whom he remembered as a young man

The interrogative pronoun whom with the preposition related to it corresponds in Russian to the pronoun who in oblique cases with and without prepositions. The preposition referring to whom usually takes place after the verb, and if there is an object, after the object:

  • Whom was the law discovered by? Who discovered this law?
  • Whom did you give the book to? Who did you give the book to?

Note. Modern English tends to use the interrogative pronoun who instead of whom:

  • Who is Lily talking to? Who is Lily talking to?
  • Who are they going to give it to? Who are they going to give it to?

If whom as a relative pronoun is used with a preposition, then the preposition takes place before whom:

  • Is that the roan to whom you spoke yesterday? Is this the man you spoke to yesterday?

More common, however, is the omission of the relative pronoun in the attributive restrictive clause, in which case the preposition takes place after the verb: Is that the man you spoke to yesterday?

Pronoun whose usually used for persons. In a sentence, the pronoun whose performs a defining function and is placed immediately before the noun to which it refers. The article before the noun is not used in this case. Whose as an interrogative pronoun means whose?

  • Whose name does Moscow University bear? -- Whose name is Moscow University?

Whose as a relative pronoun means which:

  • Doctor Manson, whose specialty was lungs, examined her. “Dr. Manson, whose specialty was lung disease, examined her.

Whose as a relative pronoun is sometimes used in relation to inanimate objects:

  • All particles of a rotating body describe circles whose centers are in axis -- All particles of a rotating body describe circles whose centers are on the axis.

Pronoun what refers to inanimate objects * .
* The pronoun what can refer to persons if you are asking about the profession or occupation of the person being asked about.

What as an interrogative pronoun in the function of the subject or direct object, it means that, in the function of the nominal part of the predicate or the definition, which, which.

Note. Pronoun what as an interrogative pronoun, performs the function of the subject when the question refers to the subject; direct object when the question refers to a direct object; definitions, when the question refers to the definition, and the nominal part of the predicate, when the question refers to the nominal part of the predicate. Thus, depending on which member of the sentence the question refers to, the function changes, as well as the meaning of the pronoun what.

The verb-predicate with the pronoun what in the subject function is used in the singular (see):

  • What has happened? -- What's happened?

The verb-predicate with the pronoun what in the function of the nominal part of the predicate agrees in number (and person). with the noun (or pronoun) that is the subject of the sentence:

  • What is your opinion on this question? -- What is your opinion on this issue?
  • What are the physical properties of the material? What are the physical properties of this material?

Pronoun what in the function of the complement in combination with prepositions corresponds in Russian to the pronoun that in indirect cases without prepositions or with prepositions. The preposition related to the pronoun what usually takes place after the verb, and if there is an object, after the object:

  • What is strain caused by? - What causes stress?
  • What is he going to talk about? What is he going to talk about?
  • What did you do it for? - Why did you do it?

The pronoun what in the definition function comes before the noun to which it refers. If the noun has other definitions, what is placed before them. When what is the definition of a noun, the article is not used with the noun:

  • What form of energy does a steam engine produce? What form of energy does a steam engine produce?
  • What other forms of motion do you know? What other forms of movement do you know?

The pronoun what in the definition function in combination with prepositions corresponds in Russian to the pronoun what in oblique cases with and without prepositions:

  • What temperature does aluminum melt at? -- At what temperature does aluminum melt?

Which as an interrogative pronoun can refer to both persons and things. Which matters which, which (from), who (from) and is used when choosing from a certain number of persons or objects.

Which as a relative pronoun is used for inanimate objects. Usually which refers to one of the members of the main clause and is translated which:

  • They returned to their canoe which they had left in the stream. - They returned to their boat, which (they) left on the river.

Sometimes which can refer to the object expressed by the pronoun that includes the element thing (something, etc.), or to the entire sentence as a whole. In this case, which is translated as what

  • "I"ve found out something which might improve your working conditions," said Andrew. --- "I have discovered something that might improve your working conditions," Andrew said.

  • Those are lorries that carry our brothers to the mines. “These are the trucks that take our brothers to the mines.

That is also used in relation to nouns denoting persons, usually in cases where the noun is determined by an adjective in a superlative degree or such a word as only the only one, very the same, any any, and also in the turnover it is ... that:

Some

Pronoun some and compound pronouns, which include some ( somebody, someone, something), are used in affirmative sentences, a any and compound pronouns, which include any ( anybody, anyone, anything) are used in interrogative and negative sentences.

  • Doesn't know something about it. He knows something about it.

Compound pronouns, which include body or one, are used only in relation to persons; compound pronouns, which include thing, are used in relation to inanimate objects.

Pronouns some, any And no usually perform the function of a definition in a sentence. Compound pronouns ( somebody, something, nothing, nobody, no one etc.) act in the sentence as a subject or object:

  • No substance is a perfect insulator. No substance is a perfect insulator.
  • It was clear that something had happened. It was clear that something had happened.
  • "No medicine? No one ever told me that before." “No medicines? No one has ever told me this before.”

  • Some bodies have a motion of vibration or oscillation. -- Some bodies have a vibrating or oscillating motion.
  • If you want to slow a molecule, let it do some work. -- If you want to slow down a molecule, let it do some work.

When used with real nouns some And any pointing to a part of a substance matters and are not translated into Russian as a separate word. In this case, the noun with the preceding pronoun some (or any) is usually translated into Russian as a noun in the genitive case:

  • Give me some ink. - Give me some ink.
  • Have you brought any water? - Did you bring water?

Note. If a real noun is preceded by a definite article, then such a noun is translated into Russian by a noun in the accusative case. In this case, the action expressed by the verb applies to the entire amount of the substance as a whole, and not to part of it:

  • Give me the ink. -- Give me some ink (that is, all the amount of ink that is here).
  • Have you brought the water? - Did you bring water?

Some used in interrogative sentences in the meaning of a small amount, a little.

  • Will you give me some ink? "Will you give me some ink?"

Some (but not any ) is also used in questions containing any offer or request:

  • Will you have some biscuits? - Do you want cookies?
  • Will you buy some stamps? - Please buy stamps. (lit. Won't you buy stamps?)

Some used before numerals in meanings about, approximately:

  • Some three hundred delegates will gather in our city. -- About three hundred delegates will gather in our city

Any and compound pronouns, which include any, are used in affirmative sentences in the meaning of any:

All molecules have the same average energy at any given moment, -- All molecules have the same average energy at any given moment,

Pronouns some And any can also perform the function of the complement in the sentence, and the pronoun some, in addition, the function of the subject:

  • "Have you any hews?" -- Do you have any news?
  • "Yes, I have some." -- Yes, I have,
  • The meeting began and the hall was packed up, still some workers squeezed in, and some were left standing outside, -- vszhe some workers squeezed inside, and some remained standing outside.

The pronoun none is also used in the function of subject and object. None- derived pronoun formed from no one:

  • Not used vaccines none of them had ever heard of. "He used vaccines none of them had ever heard of."

many, much, few, little*

* Words many, much, few, few have signs of an adjective (degrees of comparison), the meaning of numerals (the meaning of an indefinite number), the meaning of pronouns (indicate the quantity but do not name it). Therefore, these words in some textbooks refer to adjectives, in others to numerals, but in most textbooks they are usually referred to as pronouns, although their inclusion in the category of pronouns is also conditional.

Pronouns many And much matter a lot few And little matter little. Many a lot and few rarely used with specific nouns, i.e. with nouns denoting objects that can be counted as separate units:

  • many books (pencils, days, questions, etc.)
  • few books (pencils, days, questions, etc.) -- few books (pencils, days, questions, etc.)
  • Gas is made up of a good deal of emptiness and very few molecules. - There is a lot of emptiness in the composition of gas and very few molecules.

Much a lot and little few used with real and abstract nouns, i.e. with nouns denoting objects that cannot be counted as separate units:

  • much iron (oil, coal, sugar, air, etc.) -- a lot of iron (oil, coal, sugar, air, etc.)
  • little iron (oil, coal, sugar, air, etc.)
  • To an ordinary observer the air seems to offer little resistance to bodies moving through it. - To the average observer, air seems to offer little resistance to bodies passing through it.

Much And many usually used in interrogative and negative sentences. In affirmative sentences, much and many are used mainly when they are determined by such adverbs as very, too, so:

  • I said I could not permit him to take so much labor upon himself. “I said I couldn’t let him take on such a big job.

In affirmative sentences meaning many expressions are used: a lot (of), lots (of), lots (of), a (large, great) number (of); in meaning much- a lot (of), a (great, large) quantity (of), a good (great) deal (of):

  • There seemed a good deal of luggage when we put it all together. There was a lot of luggage when we put it all together.

A few, a little several, a little indicate the presence of a small amount, i.e. have a positive value, while few And little few, a little emphasize the lack of quantity, i.e. have a negative meaning:

  • There is a little hope. There is a little hope (lit.: there is a little hope).
  • There is little hope. There is little hope.
  • Doesn't have a few friends. He has several friends.
  • Doesn't have few friends. - He has few friends.
  • We "ll rest a few minutes and go back. - We will rest a few minutes and go back.
  • Could you spare us a little water? "Could you give us some water?"

Indefinite pronoun one

Pronoun one expresses an indefinite person and is used as a subject in indefinite personal sentences:

  • If one halves a bar magnet each of two halves will be a complete magnet, --

If the predicate includes a modal verb, then the sentence containing the indefinite pronoun one in the function of the subject, is translated into Russian by an impersonal sentence:

  • One must do it.-- One must do it.
  • One should do it.
