Definitive pronouns are examples in sentences. Definitive pronouns

The lesson examines attributive pronouns, their meaning, functions in speech, features of use.

1. Pronouns included in the category

Definitives include pronouns all, everyone, himself, very, different, other, any, each, all and all.

2. Examples of the use of attributive pronouns

The barefoot man bowed, looked gloomily at everyone, and went out.(A.I. Herzen).

The definitive pronoun in the sentence of all... Initial form - all.

I would look from heaven to earth and rejoice at everything(A.N. Ostrovsky).

To all all.

I'll reveal the whole truth to you(A.S. Griboyedov). The whole- a definitive pronoun. Initial form - the whole(m. r., unit. h., I. p.).

Anyone can be convinced of this if they go to this garden.(M.A.Bulgakov).

In this sentence, the definitive pronoun - any.

Yes, I thought so myself at first(A.I. Kuprin). Definitive pronoun itself... Initial form - myself.

The boy remembered that he had in his pocket the same matches that his father had given him when he was leaving for the city.(E.L. Schwartz). Definitive pronoun the most and the initial form is most.

I was satisfied with another, / I knew other thirsts, / But such a radiant dream / I only dream once(KD Balmont). In these sentences we are interested in the words others, others... These are definitive pronouns.

You cannot enlighten them by other means: Rough natures(N.A. Nekrasov). In this case, consider the word others- attributive pronoun ( another).

3. The meaning of attributive pronouns

The function of attributive pronouns is to identify an object or objects in a number of other objects.

4. Pronouns the whole, all and all

Pronoun the whole changes in gender, number and case and has the same forms as the adjective ( all, all, all, all, all, all etc.). This pronoun, like the adjective, agrees in gender, number and case with the noun on which it depends.

Pronouns all and all look like pronoun forms the whole, but differ from it in that in the sentence they are not a definition, but a subject or addition, that is, they replace not adjectives, but nouns. Although their forms completely coincide with some forms of the pronoun the whole they are separate words; in the grammatical dictionary of the Russian language, we will find all three words: the whole, all and all.

Let's analyze examples. Everybody came on time... What is the pronoun in this sentence: all? Or a pronoun form the whole? In a sentence the pronoun all is the subject, repeats the signs of a noun, which means that we have the pronoun ALL.

I'm glad to see everyone... Glad to see who? Of all... We ask a question of a noun, which means we have again a pronoun all.

All things lay in their places... Here is the word all depends on the word things, defines it. Things(what kind?) all, this is a definition, which means we have a pronoun form the whole.

I did everything right. Did(what?) all... This is an add-on. So, we have before us a pronoun all.

He drank all the milk... Here is the pronoun all depends on the word milk. What milk? Everything... So this definition behaves like an adjective - a pronoun the whole.

It must be remembered that the pronoun the whole gender and number are inconstant signs, this pronoun changes by gender, number and case. And for pronouns all and all genus and number are constant signs ( all - plural, a all- always singular, cf. R.). They change only in cases.

5. Pronouns myself and most

Consider the other two cognate pronouns: myself and most... Both of these pronouns change in gender and number: the most, the most, the most, the most; yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself. Moreover, these pronouns are declined. Moreover, the forms of indirect cases (all, except for the nominative) pronouns myself and most very similar. They look the same, but differ in stress.

The same will happen with the feminine gender.

I. p. The very top, the sister herself

R. p. Sama peaks, sisters herself

D. n. To the top, to the very sister

V. n. To the top, myself, to my sister

T. n. With my peak, my sister herself

P. p. About the summit itself, about the sister herself

Homework

Task number 1

Decline pronouns himself, the most in the neuter.

Task number 2

Insert pronouns instead of blanks myself, most in the right grammatical form... Indicate sentences in which the pronoun most serves to form the superlative of the adjective.

Working in the country was for my grandmother ... a favorite thing. He received a gift from ... the director. I ... will dig up the beds. They have been friends since ... childhood. There was a birch tree near ... the fence. Sasha can do it ..., without outside help. Underwater world perhaps ... mysterious.

Task number 3

Find the definitive pronoun in the text. Justify your choice by answering these questions. What sign does the pronoun indicate and what question does it answer? How does it change? What word is associated with?

All the attraction of the earth lies in the animal and flora... We have studied both worlds almost perfectly, but always from contact with them there is a feeling of mystery. Mysterious and therefore beautiful are the dark thickets of forests, the depths of the seas. Mysterious is the cry of a bird, the crackle of a tree bud bursting from the warmth. A riddle solved does not kill the excitement caused by the sight of the earth. The more we know, the stronger the desire to know(K. Paustovsky).

By its meaning and grammatical features pronouns in Russian are divided into several categories: personal, reflexive, possessive, interrogative, relative, negative, indefinite, determinative and indicative.

Pronoun grades table

In order to correctly determine the category of pronouns, we will find out what meanings they have in speech, and highlight their main grammatical features.

The crux of the matter is that it is better to solve it together.

In the table, we got acquainted with the categories of pronouns with examples of their use in Russian. We have previously learned.

Personal pronouns I, we, you, you, he, she, it, they indicate a person or object.

Pronouns "I", "we" belong to the first person; "you you"- to the second; "he she it"- to the third.

I climbed onto a tall pine tree and began to shout (K. Paustovsky).

We followed the moose trail (K. Paustovsky).

Do you remember, Alyosha, the roads of the Smolensk region? (K. Simonov)

Have you seen how under the coniferous roof walks in morocco mushroom boots ..? (A.Kovalenko)

Pronouns "he she it" male, female and neuter gender is determined.

He sang, and every sound of his voice breathed something familiar and boundlessly wide, as if a familiar steppe was opening up in front of you, going into an endless distance (I.S. Turgenev).

After Masha rummaged through the compositions, she settled on novels (A. Pushkin).

To the left, from the edge of the village, a field began; it was visible far to the horizon, and throughout the entire width of this field, flooded with moonlight, there was also no movement or sound (A. Chekhov).

Personal pronouns are singular and plural.

Let's compare:

  • I, you - we, you;
  • he, she, it - they.

However, we mean that the pronouns "I am" and "we" , "you and "you" are not singular and plural of the same word. Pronouns "we" and "you" do not mean "A lot of me" or "You are a lot"... They indicate the speaker or interlocutor along with other persons participating in the conversation or in a certain action.

All personal pronouns change in cases. When they are declined in indirect cases, completely different words appear:

  • I am me;
  • you - you;
  • she her;
  • they are theirs.

As soon as I touch on mathematics, I will again forget everything in the world (S. Kovalevskaya).

Reflexive pronoun "myself" indicates the person being spoken of.

Will you look into yourself? There is no trace of the past (M. Lermontov).

I erected a monument not made by hands (A. Pushkin).

This pronoun has no nominative case, grammatical categories of person, gender, number. It changes only in cases:

  • i.p. -
  • r.p. myself
  • etc. myself
  • vp myself
  • etc. by myself
  • p.p. About Me

horse (im.p.) (whose?) his (r.p.).

It happened like a nightingale to fly in on their noise (I.A.Krylov).

Noise (whose?) Them- inconsistent definition.

Possessive pronouns "Him", "her", "them" do not change.

Words answered by nouns ( who? what?), adjectives ( which? whose? what? which one?) and numerals ( how much?) are interrogative pronouns.

Who's knocking at the gate? (S. Marshak).

What will I do for the people? - shouted Danko (M. Gorky) stronger than the thunder.

Suddenly he turned to his mother: "Avdotya Vasilievna, how old is Petrusha?" (A. Pushkin).

"Why don't you understand?" - Pavel Vasilievich asks Styopa (A. Chekhov).

What news did you receive yesterday?

What is the answer to my question?

Which math lesson will be?

The same pronouns, only without a question, serve to connect simple sentences as part of a complex subordinate and are called relative:

Look how many flat-bottomed scows lie on my bank (A. Kataev).

A hundred paces from me the grove was dark, from which I just left (A. Chekhov).

He was not at all what Konstantin (L. Tolstoy) imagined him to be.

It was already getting dark, and Vasily could not understand who was walking (K. Paustovsky).

Often I wanted to guess what he was writing about (A. Pushkin).

I also thought about the person in whose hands my fate was (A. Pushkin).

Indefinite pronouns

Indicate unknown items, signs and quantities:

"Someone", "something", "some", "several", "someone", "something", "someone", "someone", "someone", "some ”,“ Some ”,“ some ”,“ some ”,“ someone ”,“ someone ”,“ someone ”,“ some ”,“ so much ”.

Someone played the violin ... the girl sang in a soft contralto, laughter was heard (M. Gorky).

It was getting scary, as if in this silence some danger was silently waiting for him (V. Kataev).

In the living room, something small fell from the table and broke (A. Chekhov).

You are not able to act from any motives (K. Fedin).

But, perhaps, in some ways he was right (M. Sholokhov).

Negative pronouns

Negative pronouns "Nobody", "nothing", "nobody", "nothing", "no", "nobody", "nothing" serve to deny the presence of an object, feature or quantity, or to strengthen the negative meaning of the entire sentence.

I do not want to sadden you with anything (A. Pushkin).

Nobody really knew anything (K. Simonov).

Vladik stood silently, not bullying anyone and not answering anyone's questions (A. Gaidar).

They are formed from interrogative (relative) pronouns using an unstressed prefix nor- or shock attachment not-.

Pronouns "Nobody", "nothing" do not have a nominative case.

They were silent, because there was nothing to tell each other (I.A. Goncharov).

There is no one to ask when he himself is to blame (proverb).

Pronouns "Nobody", "no", "nobody", "nobody", "nothing" can be used with a preposition after the prefix:

not from anyone, on anything, under any, not for anyone, not with anyone, not because of what, etc.

In nothing the folk character is manifested so freely as in song and dance (A. Fadeev).

I don't want to think about anything, to interfere with anything (M. Prishvin).

An attempt to intercept Masha on the way did not lead to anything (A. Fadeev).

"That", "this", "such", "such", "so much" serve to highlight among others a certain object, feature, quantity.

I would strictly forbid these gentlemen to drive up to the capitals for a shot! (A. Griboyedov).

All this would be funny if it were not so sad (M. Lermontov).

How many heads, so many minds (proverb).

In the dark, I climbed into such a windbreak, from which even in the daytime you will not get out soon. However, I managed to get out of this labyrinth (V. Arseniev).

Definitive pronouns - "All", "everyone", "himself", "most", "each", "any", "other", "other", "whole".

Everyone who is young, give us your hands - to our ranks, friends! (L. Oshanin).

Every work of the master praises (proverb).

Learn to rule yourself; not everyone will understand you like me; inexperience leads to trouble (A. Pushkin).

To the right the whole village was visible, the long street stretched for five miles (A. Chekhov).

These pronouns change in gender, number and case, like adjectives.

Video tutorial on the Russian language for 6th grade pupils “Pronoun. The categories of pronouns "

Pronoun- This is an independent non-significant part of speech that indicates objects, signs or quantities, but does not name them.

The grammatical features of pronouns are different and depend on which part of speech is substituted by the pronoun in the text.

Ranks of pronouns by meaning

There are 9 categories of pronouns by meaning:

1. Personal : me, you, he, she, it, we, you, they... Personal pronouns indicate participants in the dialogue ( me, you, we, you), persons not participating in the conversation, and objects ( he, she, it, they).

2. Returnable : myself... This pronoun indicates the identity of a person or thing named by the subject, the person or thing named by the word itself ( He will not offend himself. Hopes fell short).

3. Possessive : ... Possessive pronouns indicate that an object belongs to a person or another object ( This is my portfolio. Its size is very convenient).

4. Indicative : this, that, such, such, so much, this(outdated), this(obsolete). These pronouns indicate a sign or number of objects.

5. Definitive : himself, most, all, everyone, everyone, any, other, different, every(outdated), every kind(obsolete). Definitive pronouns indicate a sign of an object.

6. Interrogative : who, what, what, who, whose, how much... Interrogative pronouns serve as special interrogative words and indicate persons, objects, signs and quantities.

7. Relative : the same as interrogative, in the function of connecting parts of a complex sentence ( union words).

8. Negative : nobody, nothing, nobody, nothing, nobody, nobody... Negative pronouns express the absence of an object or feature.

9. Undefined : some, some, some, some, some, as well as all pronouns formed from interrogative pronouns with the prefix something- or suffixes - then, - or, -.

Categories of pronouns by grammatical features

By their grammatical features, pronouns correlate with nouns, adjectives and numerals. Pronoun nouns indicate a person or an object, pronominal adjectives indicate a sign of an object, and pronominal numerals indicate quantity.

TO pronouns-nouns include: all personal pronouns, reflexive self, interrogative-relative who and what and negative and indefinite derived from them ( nobody, nothing, nobody, nothing, somebody, something, somebody, etc.).

TO pronouns-adjectives include all possessive, all determinative, indicative this, that, such, such, this, this, interrogative-relative which, which, whose and negative and indefinite (no, nobody's, some, some, some, etc.).

TO pronouns-numerals pronouns belong as much as those derived from them ( some, some and etc.).

Grammatical features of pronouns-nouns

Pronouns include the following pronouns: personal I , you, he, she, it, we, you, they, returnable myself, interrogative-relative who and what and derived from them negative and indefinite ( nobody, nothing, nobody, nothing, somebody, something, somebody, something, something and etc.).

These pronouns have grammatical features similar to grammatical features of nouns, but they also have certain differences from significant nouns. You can ask them questions who? or what ?, in a sentence these words act mainly as subjects or additions.

Consider the morphological features of noun pronouns.

Personal pronouns have morphological characteristics faces :

1 person: i, we;

2nd person: you you;

3rd person: he, she, it, they.

The morphological sign of the face of pronouns is expressed out-of-word - the personal endings of the verb in the present or future tense of the indicative mood and the forms of the imperative mood of the verb, that is, those verb forms that have the morphological sign of the person:

1st person: I'm going, we are going;

2nd person: you go-eat, go-and-, you go-go, go-and-those;

3rd person: he, she, it goes, let it go, they go, let it go.

For the rest of the pronouns-nouns, as well as for all significant nouns, it is not customary to determine the face.

Personal pronouns have a morphological feature the numbers ... Personal pronouns are unique ( me, you, he, she, it) and plural ( we you they) numbers.

Pronouns-nouns have a constant feature kind ... This question, like the question of number, is poorly covered in school textbooks. We will proceed from the following provisions. All personal pronouns have a constant gender characteristic, which, like in the case of significant nouns, is expressed out of words.

Pronouns I and you general kind: I, you came - I, you came.

The pronoun he is masculine: he came.

The pronoun she is feminine: she came.

It is a neuter pronoun: it came-oh.

Plural pronouns we, you, they are not characterized by gender. We can talk about the animateness of personal pronouns, since the V. n. In them coincides with the R. n. ( there is no you - I see you).

All personal pronouns change according to cases , that is, they are inclined.

In indirect cases with a preposition, n is added to the pronouns of the 3rd person: him, to them, from her... Addition does not occur with derivative prepositions for, thanks, according to, in spite of, etc.: thanks to her, according to him.

Reflexive pronoun-noun itself has no gender and number. It declines in the same way as the personal pronoun you, with the exception that the pronoun itself does not have the form I. p.

Interrogative-relative pronouns who are masculine singular ( who came, but not who came or who came), and the pronoun what is the neuter singular ( what happened).

Formed from the pronouns who and what, negative and indefinite pronouns have the same characteristics as the pronouns who and what. A feature of indefinite pronouns someone and something is that someone has the form only I. p., and something- I. p. And V. p. A negative pronouns no one and nothing, on the contrary, do not have the form I. p.

Negative and indefinite pronouns with prefixes not- and not-, when used with prepositions, "pass" the preposition inward: no one, no one.

Grammatical features of adjective pronouns

All possessive ( my, your, your, our, your, his, her, them), all determinants ( himself, most, all, everyone, everyone, any, other, different, every, every), indicative this, that, such, such, this, this, interrogative-relative which, which, whose and derived from them negative and indefinite ( no, nobody, some, some, some and etc.).

Pronouns-adjectives have grammatical features similar to those of significant adjectives: they have unstable signs of gender, number and case , in which they agree with the noun to which they refer, in the sentence are the definition or (rarely) the nominal part of the predicate.

Possessive pronouns deserve special mention him, her and them... Unlike the words mine, yours, ours, yours, his pronouns, hers and theirs are unchangeable (cf. his house, desk, window; his houses, desks, windows). Immutability is their constant feature.

Pronouns-adjectives such and such do not change in cases and are used only in the function of the predicate.


Grammatical features of pronouns-numerals

Pronouns-numerals are few. These are words how many, how many and the pronouns formed from them are somewhat, somewhat, somewhat.

Like significant numerals, these words do not have morphological signs of gender and number; they change in cases and are combined in a special way with nouns. the numbers of the noun in I. p. and V. p. and agree with the noun in indirect cases. The declination of these words is the same:

I. p. How many

R. p. How many

How many

V. p. How many

So how many

P. n. How many.

The word is not usually attributed to pronouns, but to adverbs, since it is unchangeable.

Morphological parsing of the pronoun

Pronouns are morphologically disassembled according to the following plan: I. Part of speech. Total value... Initial form (i. P., Singular h.). II. Morphological signs: 1. Constant signs: a) rank by meaning, b) person (for personal pronouns), c) number (for pronounsme, you, you ) 2. Non-permanent signs: a) case, b) number (if any), c) gender (if any).

III. Syntactic role

SAMPLE Parsing of Pronouns


At the gallery, some embarrassed citizen found in his pocket a pack tied with a bank method and with the inscription “One thousand rubles” on the cover ... A few seconds later, the rain of money, all thickening, reached the armchairs, and the audience began to catch the pieces of paper (M. A. Bulgakov).

I. Some (what?) - a pronoun, some initial form.

fickle signs: in husband. kind, units number, I. p.

III. Citizen (what?) Some (definition).

I. (Y) myself (who?) - a pronoun, the initial form of oneself (R. p.)

II. Permanent signs: recurrent;

unstable signs: in R. p.

III. Found (where?) In myself (circumstance).

I. Several (how many?) - pronoun, initial form several.

II. Persistent symptoms: vague;

unstable signs: in V. p.

III. Reached (when?) In a few seconds (circumstance).

The lesson examines attributive pronouns, their meaning, functions in speech, features of use.

1. Pronouns included in the category

Definitives include pronouns all, everyone, himself, very, different, other, any, each, all and all.

2. Examples of the use of attributive pronouns

The barefoot man bowed, looked gloomily at everyone, and went out.(A.I. Herzen).

The definitive pronoun in the sentence of all... Initial form - all.

I would look from heaven to earth and rejoice at everything(A.N. Ostrovsky).

To all all.

I'll reveal the whole truth to you(A.S. Griboyedov). The whole- a definitive pronoun. Initial form - the whole(m. r., unit. h., I. p.).

Anyone can be convinced of this if they go to this garden.(M.A.Bulgakov).

In this sentence, the definitive pronoun - any.

Yes, I thought so myself at first(A.I. Kuprin). Definitive pronoun itself... Initial form - myself.

The boy remembered that he had in his pocket the same matches that his father had given him when he was leaving for the city.(E.L. Schwartz). Definitive pronoun the most and the initial form is most.

I was satisfied with another, / I knew other thirsts, / But such a radiant dream / I only dream once(KD Balmont). In these sentences we are interested in the words others, others... These are definitive pronouns.

You cannot enlighten them by other means: Rough natures(N.A. Nekrasov). In this case, consider the word others- attributive pronoun ( another).

3. The meaning of attributive pronouns

The function of attributive pronouns is to identify an object or objects in a number of other objects.

4. Pronouns the whole, all and all

Pronoun the whole changes in gender, number and case and has the same forms as the adjective ( all, all, all, all, all, all etc.). This pronoun, like the adjective, agrees in gender, number and case with the noun on which it depends.

Pronouns all and all look like pronoun forms the whole, but differ from it in that in the sentence they are not a definition, but a subject or addition, that is, they replace not adjectives, but nouns. Although their forms completely coincide with some forms of the pronoun the whole they are separate words; in the grammatical dictionary of the Russian language, we will find all three words: the whole, all and all.

Let's analyze examples. Everybody came on time... What is the pronoun in this sentence: all? Or a pronoun form the whole? In a sentence the pronoun all is the subject, repeats the signs of a noun, which means that we have the pronoun ALL.

I'm glad to see everyone... Glad to see who? Of all... We ask a question of a noun, which means we have again a pronoun all.

All things lay in their places... Here is the word all depends on the word things, defines it. Things(what kind?) all, this is a definition, which means we have a pronoun form the whole.

I did everything right. Did(what?) all... This is an add-on. So, we have before us a pronoun all.

He drank all the milk... Here is the pronoun all depends on the word milk. What milk? Everything... So this definition behaves like an adjective - a pronoun the whole.

It must be remembered that the pronoun the whole gender and number are inconstant signs, this pronoun changes by gender, number and case. And for pronouns all and all genus and number are constant signs ( all- plural, and all- always singular, cf. R.). They change only in cases.

5. Pronouns myself and most

Consider the other two cognate pronouns: myself and most... Both of these pronouns change in gender and number: the most, the most, the most, the most; yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself. Moreover, these pronouns are declined. Moreover, the forms of indirect cases (all, except for the nominative) pronouns myself and most very similar. They look the same, but differ in stress.

The same will happen with the feminine gender.

I. p. The very top, the sister herself

R. p. Sama peaks, sisters herself

D. n. To the top, to the very sister

V. n. To the top, myself, to my sister

T. n. With my peak, my sister herself

P. p. About the summit itself, about the sister herself

Task number 2

Insert pronouns instead of blanks myself, most in the desired grammatical form. Indicate sentences in which the pronoun most serves to form the superlative of the adjective.

Working in the country was for my grandmother ... a favorite thing. He received a gift from ... the director. I ... will dig up the beds. They have been friends since ... childhood.

All the attractiveness of the earth lies in the flora and fauna. We have studied both worlds almost perfectly, but always from contact with them there is a feeling of mystery. Mysterious and therefore beautiful are the dark thickets of forests, the depths of the seas. Mysterious is the cry of a bird, the crackle of a tree bud bursting from the warmth. A riddle solved does not kill the excitement caused by the sight of the earth. The more we know, the stronger the desire to know(K. Paustovsky).

What is a definitive pronoun? Answer to the question asked you will learn from the materials of this article. In addition, several examples of sentences and proverbs where this part of speech is used will be presented to your attention.

General information on pronouns

Before talking about what definitive pronouns exist in Russian, you should give a complete definition of this part of speech.

So, a pronoun is an independent part of speech, which is very often used instead of a numeral, a noun, as well as an adverb. It should be especially noted that the pronoun can change in numbers, gender and cases.

What are the categories of pronouns?

Not everyone knows that the attributive pronoun is one of the categories of this part of speech. In general, there are the following:


Let's consider the last digits in more detail and give examples of how they are used in Russian.

Demonstrative pronoun

Such pronouns are sometimes called demonstratives. They indicate what kind of object this or that person has in mind, as well as its location relative to himself or the addressee (this, that, such, such, such, so much, such, this, this).

It should also be noted that demonstrative pronouns are capable of expressing additional information about an object (for example, its gender, animation, etc.).

In some cases, such a group is not singled out separately. This is due to the fact that the corresponding value is not expressed in the form independent words, but with the help of pointer particles, which are attached to the noun.

Examples of demonstrative pronouns

Some experts refer to demonstrative pronouns and such words as "both" and "both". However, this is only if they are used in the meaning of "one and the other", "one and the other."

Let's give an example:

  • Both students successfully passed the session. (Both students successfully passed the exam.)
  • Both boys got good gifts... (Both the boy and the boy received good gifts.)

Other examples of demonstrative pronouns:

  • This man was very rude to me.
  • The one who does nothing is never wrong.
  • I am what I am, and I will not become another.
  • He's so smart and handsome.
  • Take as many nuts as you like.

As for obsolete demonstrative pronouns, they are most often used in historical, religious and classical literature:

  • I had never seen such a weirdo before.
  • What a mischievous person (irony).
  • To this day, not a word has been heard about him.
  • On that day, when I wanted to leave home.

Definitive pronoun

This category of pronouns indicates one thing in a row of others. Whole, himself, every kind, the most, every, every, every, different, different, every - all these are determinative pronouns.

Examples: everyone can walk quickly; anyone can run; all dirty etc.

What features do attributive pronouns have?

We talked about what a definitive pronoun is. But what is their detailed indication? We will answer this question in more detail.


However, it should be noted that not everything is so simple. After all, attributive pronouns have their own variations. For example, the word “any” is often used to mean “one to choose” or “whatever”. "The most" in some cases indicates the main feature of an object or its limit (for example, at the very end of the year). In addition, such a pronoun is sometimes used to form a superlative adjective or to indicate the highest measure of a characteristic (for example, the greatest happiness comes when you don't expect it).

As for the attributive pronouns "other" and "other", it is customary to consider them as antonyms to the words "this" and "that".

Definitive pronouns: are they declined by cases, gender and number or not?

TO morphological features such pronouns include their ability to change in three forms, namely by gender, case and number.

Here are some examples:

  • the only one and oneself - oneself, the whole - everything;
  • genus: itself - itself (itself), all - everything (all), another - another (other);
  • cases: other - other (other), all - everything (all), the other - other (other), etc.

However, this rule also has its exceptions. For example, something like "everyone" never changes by case. He can only be declined by number and gender.

Members of the proposal

What member of the sentence are the attributive pronouns? In written or spoken speech, this part of speech most often acts as agreed definitions. For example: "Over the years, new years go by, and every day brings us happiness." Also, together with nouns, pronouns can be one member of a sentence. For example: "Every hour she called me just like that" and "The boss himself called me and gave the order."

If a definitive pronoun passes into a pronoun-noun, then it acts as a subject in a sentence. For example: "Everyone left, only I stayed at home."

It should also be noted that this part of speech often acts as a particle or adverb. For example: "He still agreed to marry her" and "She is all in her worries."

Where are definitive pronouns most often used?

This part of speech can be used in completely different sentences. By the way, proverbs with definitive pronouns are quite popular in Russian. Here are some examples.

Pronouns "any", "each" and "the most", indicating one object from others:

  • Lack of intelligence is considered the worst poverty. The worst morning is Monday morning. The most best friends- parents.
  • Any job is good. Everyone chews, but not everyone lives. A bad ship - any wind in the stern.
  • Everyone gets what is destined for him. Every cricket know your six. Everyone can see, but not every doctor.

The pronoun "everyone", indicating any object from the others:

  • All sandpipers only praise their swamp.
  • Not everyone will understand you like me.
  • Everyone is looking for the truth, but not everyone can create it.
  • Everyone goes crazy in their own way.
  • Every spruce makes noise in its forest.

The pronoun "all" ("everything", "everything"), which defines an object as something inseparable:

  • Everything is one: that is the crumb, that is the bread.
  • Everything has its time.
  • We all walk under God.
