Pronouns (Местоимения)
Все местоимения современного английского языка делятся на группы в соответствии со значением, которое они выражают:
личные (Personal) (в именительном и объектном падежах)
притяжательные (Possessive) (в совмещённой и абсолютной форме)
неопределённые (Indefinite)
указательные (Demonstrative)
возвратные (Reflexive)
вопросительные

Nominative Case |
Objective Case |
Conjoint Form |
Absolute Form |

Singular |
I You He She It |
me you him her it |
my your his her its |
mine yours his hers its |
myself yourself himself herself itself |
Plural |
We You They |
us you them |
our your their |
ours yours theirs |
ourselves yourselves themselves |
Personal Pronouns в именительном падеже выполняют в предложении роль подлежащего или именной части составного именного сказуемого и отвечают на вопрос «кто? что?».
They visited the Tate yesterday.
It was they who did it.
Личные местоимения в объектном падеже употребляются после предлогов: without, except, with, by, between, up; и отвечают на вопросы «кому? кого?».
He didn't give me the definite answer.
The money was divided between Nick and me.
Possessive Pronouns имеют две формы: совмещённую (the Conjoint Form) и абсолютную (the Absolute Form) и отвечают на вопросы «чьё? Чьи?».
Совмещённая форма употребляется только в сочетании с существительными и ставится перед ними (но после слов all и both):
Our life is hectic but interesting.
Her parents are very understanding.
All my friends were at the party.
Абсолютная форма употребляется самостоятельно, без существительного, во избежание его повторения в тексте.
The book is not mine.
Theirs was the best plan.
Reflexive Pronouns указывают, что действие, выполняемое субъектом, отражается на него самого.
She saw herself in the mirror.
They did it all by themselves.
Возвратные местоимения могут также употребляться с целью усиления значения того или иного слова в предложении. В подобных случаях оно следует либо за словом, которое оно усиливает, или же стоит в конце предложения.
The director himself welcomed us.
I've made this dress myself.
Возвратные местоимения используются после определённых глаголов: behave, burn, cut, enjoy, hurt, kill, look at, laught at, introduce, dry, teach, etc., когда действие, выполняемое субъектом, отражается на него самого.
He burnt himself when he was cooking breakfast.
Возвратные местоимения могут использоваться после be, feel, look, seem, чтобы описать эмоции или состояние.
He doesn't seem himself these days.
Они также используются после предлогов, но не после предлогов места.
He is so proud of himself.
He looked behind him. (not: behind himself)
После некоторых глаголов, таких как: wash, shave, (un)dress, afford, complain, kiss, meet, rest, relax, stand up, get up, sit down, wake up, etc. возвратные местоимения не используются.
He got up and shaved.
Обратите внимание на следующие идиомы:
Enjoy yourself! (= Have a good time!)
Behave yourself! (= Be good!)
I like being by myself. (= I like being alone.)
Make yourself at home. (= Feel comfortable.)
Help yourself coffee. (= You are welcome to take some coffee.)
Do it yourself! (= Do it without being helped.)
She lives by herself. (= She lives on her own.)
Demonstrative Pronouns имеют единственное и множественное число: this — these, that — those.
This is a new film. - These are new films.
Местоимения - this - these- обозначают предмет или лицо, которые находятся ближе к говорящему во времени и пространстве и употребляются с наречием -here-. That-those обозначают нечто более удалённое во времени и в пространстве и употребляются с наречием -there-.
These children live here. (эти дети)
Those people met there at 12. (те люди)
Местоимения -this - these- также используются для описания настоящего и будущего: I'm taking a test this week. That-those используются для прошлого: That week was the best of my life.
This-these используются, когда говорящий находится около/ на месте, на которое он ссылается: This church is very old. That-those используются, чтобы сделать ссылку на что-то, что уже упоминалось ранее: «We're getting married.» - «That's great.»
