How to teach English pronouns to a child in a game. Pronouns in English for children: learning the language in pictures and images

Studying any topic starts with its basics. The same goes for English pronouns. Yes, you can immediately throw yourself into the pool headlong, studying all the intricacies of this topic. However, if you do not know how this or that pronoun is translated or pronounced, immediately combining the word with other members and making sentences with them will be at least difficult, and at most impossible. Therefore, if you are just beginning your acquaintance with this topic, let's look at English pronouns with translation and pronunciation in order to avoid problems in their further development.

English pronoun types

To begin with, it is worth noting that pronouns in English language are divided into 9 types:

1. Personal Pronouns or Personal pronouns
2. Possessive Pronouns or Possessive pronouns
3. Reflexive Pronouns or Reflexive Pronouns
4. Reciprocal Pronouns or Reciprocal Pronouns
5. Interrogative Pronouns or Interrogative Pronouns
6. Relative and Conjunctive Pronouns or Relative and connective pronouns
7. Demonstrative Pronouns or Demonstrative Pronouns
8. Quantitative pronouns or Quantitative pronouns
9. Indefinite Pronouns and Negative Pronouns or Indefinite pronouns And negative pronouns

Each type has a limited number of words that you need to remember to express your thoughts. These words, as a rule, consist of a small number of letters and do not contain sounds, the pronunciation of which can cause difficulties for initial stage. Let's look at each type in more detail and study the pronouns of the English language with transcription and translation.

English pronouns with translation and pronunciation: meaning and transcription

1. The main place among English pronouns is occupied by Personal Pronouns. This is the only group in which English allows case declension. Table for clarity:

Person and number	Nominative	Objective case
1 l., units	I(ay) - I	me(mi) – me / to me / by me
1 l., plural	we(ui) - we	us[ʌs] (as) – us / to us / by us
2 l., units	you(yu) - you	you(yu) – to you / by you
2 l., plural	you(yu) - you	you(yu) – you / to you / by you
3 l., units	he(hee) - he she[ʃi:](shi) - she it(it) – this/it	him(him) – his / him / them her(hyo) – her/her it(it) is
3 l., plural	they[ðei] (zey) - they	them[ðem] (zem) – their / them / by them

1. The second most important is the Possessive Pronouns group or the group of possessive pronouns. It also has two forms: attached and absolute. They both answer the same question (“whose?”), but differ in that the first requires a noun after itself, and the second does not. Let's compare:

As you can see, these forms have something in common, but they are written and pronounced differently. Let's consider full list possessive pronouns:

Attachable form	Absolute form
my (May) – mine	mine (mine) – mine
your (yo) – yours	yours (yors) - yours
his (his) - his	his (his) - his
her (hyo) - her	hers (hes) - her
its (its) - his	its (its) - his
your (yo) – yours	yours (yors) – yours
our (oue) – ours	ours (owers) – ours
their [ðeə(r)] (zea) – theirs	theirs [ðeəz] (zeirs) – theirs

1. Reflexive Pronouns or reflexive pronouns are a group of pronouns that are translated into Russian to mean “oneself” and “oneself” depending on the situation:

The second part of these pronouns may remind you famous word“selfie” (selfie), which actually comes from the word “self” (himself). The first parts repeat the pronouns of the two above-mentioned groups.

1. Reciprocal Pronouns or reciprocal pronouns in English are the group that will probably take the least time to memorize. It consists of two words with the same meaning:

Pronoun	Translation	Transcription	Pronunciation
each other	each other	[ˌiːtʃ ˈʌðə(r)]	ich aze
one another	[ˌwʌnəˈnʌðə(r)]	one enase

1. The group of Interrogative Pronouns or the group of interrogative pronouns is more extensive. These pronouns, as the name suggests, are used to form questions:

Pronoun	Translation	Transcription	Pronunciation
what	what/which		wot
who	who will win		xy
which	which/which		wich
whom	whom/to whom		hum
whose	whose		khus
how	How		how
why	Why		wy
when	When		van
where	where/where		vea

1. Relative and Conjunctive Pronouns or relative and connecting pronouns are used in complex sentences. There are not many of them, but you need to know these words:

Some words of this group and group interrogative pronouns are similar, but their functions and meanings are different.

1. Demonstrative Pronouns or demonstrative pronouns in English are also often found in speech. Some of them have singular and plural forms:

	Pronoun	Translation	Transcription	Pronunciation
units h.	this	this/this	[ðis]	zys
plural	these	these	[ði:z]	zyz
units h.	that	that/that	[ðæt]	zet
plural	those	those	[ðəʊz]	zous
only units h.	such	such		sach
only units h.	(the)same	same		Sejm

1. There are pronouns in English that denote quantity. They are called Quantitative pronouns or quantitative pronouns. These include:

Pronoun	Translation	Transcription	Pronunciation
much	a lot (with uncountable nouns)		mach
many	a lot (with countable nouns)	[ˈmeni]	mani
little	little (with uncountable nouns)	[ˈlɪtl]	little
a little	a little (with uncountable nouns)	[ə ˈlɪtl]	uh little
few	little (with countable nouns		ugh
a few	several (with countable nouns)	[ə fjuː]	ugh
several	some	[ˈsevrəl]	saveral

1. The largest group can rightfully be considered Indefinite Pronouns and Negative Pronouns or indefinite and negative pronouns. Most of them are formed by a combination of pronouns, which independently also perform the functions of this group, and other parts of speech:

Pronouns	Other parts of speech
thing [θɪŋ]	one	body [ˈbɒdi]	where
some	something (Samsing) - something	someone (samuan) - someone	somebody (sambadi) - someone	somewhere (samvea) - somewhere
any [ˈeni]	anything (enising) - anything	anyone (eniuan) - someone	anybody (enibady) - someone	anywhere (enivea) - somewhere
no	nothing (nasing) - nothing	no one (but one) - no one	nobody (nobadi) - no one	nowhere (newa) - nowhere
every [ˈevri]	everything (eurising) – everything	everyone(euryuan) - everyone	everybody (eurybadi) - everyone	everywhere(evrivea) - everywhere

And also pronouns:

Pronoun	Translation	Transcription	Pronunciation
other	another	[ˈʌðə(r)]	aze
another	[əˈnʌðə(r)]	enase

These were all English pronouns with translation and pronunciation. I would like to pay special attention to pronunciation. The fact is that the sounds of the English language are different from the sounds of Russian, so it is actually quite difficult to convey how pronouns are pronounced in English.

The presented options are close to English pronunciation and added so that their understanding is on entry level it was easier. With this pronunciation you will definitely be understood, but for a more correct sound, study the transcriptions in English. To remember correct pronunciation It’s also great to listen to audio of native speakers and imitate their speaking style.

Pronouns occupy an important niche in English. Take any book, article, or just a note, and you will immediately see how many pronouns are in the text. Their function: to designate an object or its sign. Moreover, you need to remember that pronouns serve to replace other parts of speech. In most cases they are nouns, but they can also be adjectives, adverbs or even numerals. Let's look at pronouns in English for children, with pictures, examples and translation. With us, learning pronouns is easy and fun! So, go ahead!

First, let's look at the types of pronouns. They happen =>

• Personal Pronouns
• Possessive Pronouns
• Reflexive Pronouns
• Demonstrative Pronouns
• Interrogative Pronouns
• Indefinite Pronouns
• Relative Pronouns
• Reciprocal (Reciprocal Pronouns).

Personal Pronouns

The first and, one might say, the most significant group. In a sentence they point to the subject.

Personal pronouns (who, what)
I	I	I am a pilot => I am a pilot.
You	You, You (''You'' refers to one person, used in single)	You are handsome => You are beautiful (You are beautiful)
He	He	He is an ideal husband => He is an ideal husband.
She	She	She is pretty one but her character wish to be better => She is pretty, but her character leaves much to be desired.
It	It	It is a rainbow => This is a rainbow.
We	We	We are good parents, we believe so => ​​We believe that we good parents.
They	They	They are perspective students => They are promising (promising) students.

Note! When we write in English I am, he is, they are, etc., then in the Russian translation the connecting part ‘’is’’ is omitted. For example, in the sentence I am a pilot the translation will be - I am a pilot, and not I am a pilot. The same goes for other sentences:

We are good parents, we believe so => ​​We believe that we are good parents (We believe that we are good parents)

It is a rainbow => This is a rainbow (This is a rainbow), etc.

It is important to remember that the personal pronoun I Always written with a capital letter.

Reference: If we are writing a sentence in which we need to list several people, then I should be placed at the end of the listing (we talk about ourselves last) =>

Our sisters and I visited these people last month => I and our sisters visited these people last month.

Note! When translated into Russian, “I” is placed first.

As for the pronoun you, the table shows that it can mean both singular and plural =>

You are very good friend => good friendó You are very good friends => You are very good friends.

How can you tell the difference – is it plural or single? Just from context. IN in this case The identifier is the word friend(s).

The English pronouns he, she, it are very interesting to learn. Despite the fact that they belong to the same group, he and she are used to denote animate persons, it - inanimate. But! Animals and children should also be added to inanimate persons.

Examples

He is nice guy and she is pretty girl => He good guy, and she is a pretty girl.

This child is too noisy. Parents have to bring up it better => This child is too noisy. His parents should raise him better.

On a note! Personal Pronouns are subject to declension, that is, they can be used in different cases. Remember: when we replace the subject, we put such pronouns in the nominative case (Subject Pronouns), when we replace complements, we put them in the subjective case (Object Pronouns).

Personal Pronouns in nominative case play the role of the nominal part of the predicate or subject =>

Laura hasn’t decided whether she will go or not. She is still thinking about it => Laura has not yet decided whether she will go or not. She's still thinking about it.

»We use Subject Pronouns to avoid repetition. Instead of using the word Laura twice, we use it only once, and the second time we replace it with she."

Personal Pronouns in subject case play the role of a direct or indirect object =>

We talked to him and explained him everything => We talked to him and explained everything to him.

We asked her to do her best at school => We asked her to do her best at school.

Possessive pronouns in English

Function Possessive Pronouns => indicate the ownership of an item. Such pronouns answer the question ‘whose?’.

Please note that there are two groups of possessive pronouns => absolute and attached. The absolute form serves to replace a noun, the function of the attached form is to determine ownership.

Basic form of possessive pronouns

Absolute form of possessive pronouns

Note! When we write sentences like The phone is his, then when translated into Russian we use the word ‘’this’’. Moreover, in English version can be either this or simply the article the.

Let's sum it up

Children need to learn English in a fun way! Use pictures and tables in pictures. Cards with individual pronouns and examples are also useful. Based on the tables given above, you can compile several dozen educational materials that will help your child learn English more easily. Use interesting drawings, images of cartoon characters and colorful examples. Studying for children should not be boring! Good luck and inspiration!

Any student who begins to learn English from scratch on their own or with a teacher will already learn in the first lesson how to answer the question “ What's your name?” (Russian. What is your name?).

Answering “ My name is...“ (Russian. My name is...), he doesn’t even think that he already knows two possessive pronouns: my(my, mine, mine. mine) and your(Russian: yours, yours, yours, yours), without which it is impossible to communicate in English.

We use the same possessive pronouns for everything, but do we own our lives or sisters or husbands in the same way we own our shoes? Do we own any of them at all?

We use possessive pronouns for everything, but do we really own our lives, sisters, or husbands in the same way we own our shoes? Do we own it all?

~ Samantha Harvey

They may cause some misunderstanding on the part of those who are just starting to learn English and are encountering Possessive pronouns for the first time.

IN English grammar Two types of possessive pronouns coexist peacefully: Possessive Adjectives (possessive adjectives) and Possessive Pronouns(possessive pronouns). We will talk about them today in this article.

Possessive pronouns in English

Possessive pronouns help us understand that someone or something owns something. Signature on keychains: I am yours (Russian: I am yours), And you are mine (Russian: And you are mine)

Let's first remember what a possessive pronoun is.

Possessive pronouns(mine, yours, ours, and others) indicate the attribute of belonging to a specific person and answer the question whose? In Russian they agree with the noun in number, gender and case.

What about English possessive pronouns? There are two forms of possessive pronouns in English ( Possessive adjectives and Possessive pronouns), which vary in spelling and how they are used in a sentence.

Let's take a closer look at both forms of possessive pronouns in English.

Possessive Adjectives

Possessive pronouns in English, reminiscent of an adjective in its role in a sentence, and which are always used with a noun, are called Possessive Adjectives(rus. possessive adjective).

Below is a table of the formation of possessive pronouns in English and their comparison with personal pronouns.

Possessive pronouns dependent form (Table 1)

Possessive pronouns dependent form (Table 2)

When we want to indicate ownership, we cannot use !

Offer He name was Carl(Russian. His name was Karl) sounds strange and incorrect in both English and Russian. He is a personal pronoun. Replace it with a suitable possessive adjective his and get it grammatically and logically correct sentence: His name was Car l (Russian. His name was Karl)

Sometimes this form possessive pronouns or Possessive Adjectives called dependent, since it cannot be used independently, without a noun.

Remember!

Possessive pronouns-adjectives (Possessive Adjectives) in English they are used only in conjunction with a noun and always come before it.

Since dependent possessive pronouns resemble adjectives in their functionality, they also serve as a definition in a sentence.

Example sentences with possessive adjectives in English

Often, beginners learning English confuse possessive adjectives with abbreviated forms of the verb. to be:

your And you're (= you are)

its And it's (= it is)

Compare the use of possessive pronouns and the abbreviated form of the verb:

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns in English that can be used in a sentence without a noun are called Possessive Pronouns(Russian possessive pronoun).

Possessive Pronouns also called absolute or independent form of possessive pronouns. In this form after possessive pronouns nouns are never placed, since these pronouns are used instead of nouns.

Remember!

Absolute possessive pronouns ( Possessive Pronouns) in English are used without a noun and serve in a sentence as the subject, object, or nominal part of the predicate.

Below is a table of the formation of absolute possessive pronouns in English and their comparison with personal pronouns.

Possessive pronouns in English absolute form (Table 1)

Possessive pronouns in English absolute form (Table 2)

English possessive pronouns in absolute form replace the possessive adjective ( Possessive Adjective) with a noun to avoid repetition of information, since everything is clear without it. For example:

This book is my book, not your book(Russian. This book is my book, not your book)

This book is mine, not yours(Russian. This book is mine, not yours)

As you noticed in both Russian and English second the proposal sounds more natural. Let's look at how possessive pronouns are used in a sentence.

Examples of sentences with possessive pronouns in English

Sentence with possessive pronoun	Translation into Russian
What's mine is yours, my friend.	What's mine is yours, my friend.
I have broken my pencil. Please give me yours.	I broke my pencil. Please give me yours.
Are those gloves hers?	Those gloves are hers?
All the essays were good but his was the best.	All the essays were good, but his was the best.
The world is mine.	The world is mine.
Your photos are good. Ours are terrible.	Your photos are great, but ours are terrible.
These aren't John and Mary's children. Theirs have black hair.	These are not John and Mary's children. Theirs are black-haired.
John found his passport but Mary couldn't find hers.	John found his passport, but Mary could not find hers.
Is that chair yours?	Is this chair yours?
I know this drink is yours but I need to drink something.	I know this drink is yours, but I need something to drink.

Possessive pronoun its in absolute form it is used extremely rarely, only in conjunction with the word own:

The cottage seems asleep yet, but it may have a life of its own(Russian. It seemed that the cottage was still sleeping, but perhaps it lived its own life).

My or Mine? Possessive pronoun or adjective?

On the poster there is an inscription with a shining example the use of possessive pronouns in the dependent and absolute form: “Because my body is mine (belongs to me!)”

As already mentioned, we use possessive adjectives and pronouns, when we need to express ownership. Both forms are translated into Russian in the same way.

Possessive adjective ( Possessive Adjective) is always used followed by a noun:

This is my pen(Russian: This is my pen), where my– possessive adjective, pen – following noun.

Possessive pronouns ( Possessive Pronouns) are always used independently, without an accompanying word:

This pen is mine(Russian: This pen is mine), where mine– a possessive pronoun after which we DO NOT NEED a noun.

Comparison chart of possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns.

The semantic load does not change in these two sentences. However, when we need to emphasize someone or something, it is better to use the absolute form.

Translation of English possessive pronouns

There is no difference in the meaning of possessive adjectives and pronouns in English and their translation into Russian.

English possessive pronouns in dependent and absolute form are translated into Russian in the same way, but there are a few things you need to know about.

Translation of the possessive pronoun your into English

In English there is no special possessive pronoun corresponding to the Russian possessive pronoun ""svoy"".

Russian pronoun ""your"" translated into English appropriate possessive pronouns.

Examples of sentences in English with translation of the pronoun your

English possessive pronouns are usually not translated into Russian when they are combined with nouns denoting parts of the body or items of clothing, but are always present before the noun.

In Russian, possessive pronouns are usually not used with similar nouns. Compare English sentences with possessive sentences with translation:

Special cases of using possessive pronouns

Using the Of yours structure

Very often (especially in American English) you can hear the following construction: a friend/some friends of + mine, yours, etc:

I saw a friend of yours last night(Russian: I saw one of your friends last night) = I saw one of your friends last night.

Here are some friends of mine(Russian: Here are my friends) = Here are my friends.

Offers I saw one of your friends last night and I saw a friend of yours last night will be translated the same way: “Last night I saw one of your friends.” However, there is a slight semantic difference.

Let's look at phrases “my friend” And “a friend of mine”.

“My friend” will be said about close friend. If you call a person “my friend”, it means you have a warm and trusting relationship with him. But each of us has people with whom we just have a good relationship. These are just our friends and acquaintances. This is exactly what we need here: “a friend of mine”.

Myself indefinite article indicates to us that “one of” friends, someone undefined:

This is my friend Jessica.(“my friend” – before the name)

This is Jessica, a friend of mine.(“a friend of mine” – after the name)

With the phrase "a friend of mine" one is associated fun fact. In English-speaking culture there is a concept "urban myth"(BrE) or "urban legend"(AmE). This is a story, usually with an unexpected, humorous or instructive ending, which the narrator passes off as a real event.

We call these stories "tales" or "fiction". These incidents allegedly happen to a certain acquaintance of the narrator, and the name of the acquaintance is never specified.

Majority similar stories(or “tales”) begin with the words: This happened to a friend of mine... (This happened to one of my friends...).

When to use Yours faithfully and Yours sincerely

You've probably already come across the phrases Yours faithfully or Yours sincerely at the end of an official letter, for example:

Yours sincerely, Mary Wilkinson(Russian: Sincerely yours, Mary Wilkinson).

At business correspondence- This irreplaceable phrases, which should be written at the end of the letter. Read more about the features of business English.

Examples of using the phrases “Yours faithfully” and “Yours sincerely”

Using an English noun in the genitive case

Possessive nouns can be used as possessive pronouns to talk about belonging to someone in particular.

As a rule, the use of nouns in the possessive case does not affect the form of possessive pronouns, for example:

Whose cell phone is that? - It's John's.(Russian. Whose phone is this? - Jonah.)

Who do these computers belong to? - They "re our parents".(Russian: Who owns these computers? – Our parents.)

The relationship of belonging or involvement of one object to another can also be indicated using the possessive case ( The Possessive case ). which we will talk about in our next article.

English is one of the three leading languages international level. Today it covers several billion people who own it to one degree or another. And, as statistics show, this is not the limit. The number of people who want to express their thoughts in English is only increasing every day. The number indicating preschool age students. Parents strive to give their children the best, to provide them with a successful, stable future and confidence in the future.

If you turn to the technologies and tools for learning a language among children, you will notice that for kids a foreign language begins not with grammar, but with replenishment vocabulary. This technique is especially common in the most junior groups. The road to successful and barrier-free language proficiency begins with words. And here it follows with special attention approach the choice of lexemes. When creating a personal English-Russian dictionary, be guided by the following:

• do not start with complex lexemes;
• words must be frequently used;
• pay attention to the transcription;
• Don't forget to repeat the words regularly.

First of all, you should focus on such parts of speech as pronouns and verbs. They are the basis of the foundations in English speech and participate in the construction of almost all structures: from simple to complex ones. If you have these parts of speech in your vocabulary, then rest assured that you are on the right path to expanding or even erasing the boundaries of the English language.

In our article we will look at pronouns in more detail. If we talk about their literal purpose, then they are used “instead of a name,” that is, they help replace nouns in order to avoid repetitions. It would seem that repetitions take place and there is nothing critical about it, but remember: you must speak correctly and beautifully, regardless of what language you are doing it in.

English pronouns: types and applications

As in Russian, in English pronouns are divided into different kinds depending on their purpose and function. For example, point to something (indicative place), etc.

For your convenience, we have prepared a table in which you can familiarize yourself with the classification of pronouns.

Personal Pronouns	I - I	I
	You – you/you	You you
	He – he	He
	She - she	She
	It – it, this	It, this
	We - we	We
	They - they	They
Possessive Pronouns (possessives)	My – mine (my, mine)	My
	Your – yours/yours	Yours/Yours
	His - his	His
	Her - her	Her
	Its - his	His
	Our - ours	Our
	Their - theirs	Their
Reflexive Pronouns (reflexive)	Myself – I myself (myself, myself, etc.)	I myself, myself
	Yourself - yourself	You yourself
	Himself - himself	Myself
	Herself - she herself	Herself
	Itself - it itself	Self
	Ourselves - ourselves	We ourselves
	Yourselves - yourself	You yourself
	Themselves - themselves	They themselves
Absolute Pronouns (absolute form)	Mine – mine, mine, mine	My, my, mine
	Yours - yours	Is yours
	His - his	His
	Hers - hers	Her
	Its - his	His
	Ours - ours	Our

It is important not only to remember these lexemes, but also to be able to use them correctly - so that it is appropriate and does not cause misunderstanding on the part of the interlocutor. To do this, we will consider each type separately.

Personal pronouns in English will not be difficult to explain to children. They are used to indicate an object or phenomenon, but without naming it.

He looked at the clock was midnight. – He I looked at my watch - it was midnight.

The possessive form will be appropriate if you want to say that an object or quality belongs to someone. Thus, these pronouns are directly related to a specific person.

This is her bag. - This her bag.

Can I have your luggage? - Can Your baggage?

Reflexive pronouns - this type is typical for constructions in which we're talking about about an action performed by someone independently.

I washed myself . - I washed (I washed myself).

Absolute form - this type allows you to replace a noun without losing the meaning of the sentence.

This is not my bag. Mine is not here. - This is not my bag - my there is no.

Learning English with children is always interesting, but it requires a lot of time and effort. As numerous studies show, kids remember everything quickly. IN childhood the brain is so flexible to learn new information that learning a foreign language turns into an exciting process. It becomes especially interesting in cases where adults do not focus on memorizing dry theory, but strive to make them as effective as possible from a practical point of view from the first lessons.

Modern educational methods offer the following techniques which have successfully proven themselves at the international level:

• playful activities;
• less theory - more practice;
• memorizing new lexemes using flashcards.

Children learn about the world through play, so why not make it a guide to the world of the interesting and powerful English language? In the game format, children learn new words unnoticed. They build structures on their own using speeds of varying complexity. If we are talking about pronouns, then the game is exactly the technique that helps you learn to distinguish between the types of this part of speech and the features of composing sentences with it.

“Less theory - more practice” is Golden Rule, perhaps, works in almost all cases, especially if the students are children. They, like no one else, like to sit and monotonously read and cram something. Many programs are doomed to fail simply because they require kids to memorize. Therefore, do not waste precious time - build a competent English program for children, focusing on what your child likes best.
