Pronouns are words used in sentences to replace nouns and provide economy of writing. There are different types of pronouns including personal pronouns that indicate gender and number, possessive pronouns that show ownership, demonstrative pronouns that point to nouns, and indefinite pronouns that refer to unspecified people or things. Pronouns play an important role in English grammar by maintaining consistency between subjects and verbs when the subject is singular or plural.

1. 1. Pronouns “Zamirler”
Zamir cümle içerisinde kullanılan isimlerin yerini tutan kelimelerdir. Zamirler cümlede geçen bir ismi
tekrarlamamak ve yazımda ekonomiklik sağlamak için kullanılırlar.
Tarık, Salih ve Ahmet top oynarlar.
Onlar top oynarlar.
Yukarıdaki örnekte görüldüğü üzere Onlar zamiri “Tarık, Salih ve Ahmet” isimlerinin yerini tutmakta ve
toplamda 15 harften oluşan isimleri 5 harfle ifade etmemizi sağlamaktadır.
Zamirler temsil ettikleri ismin taşıdığı anlam ve cümle içerisindeki görevlerine göre çeşitlilik gösterir.
a. Personal pronouns (Kişi zamirleri)
Kişi zamirleri isimlerin tekillik-çoğulluğu ve cinsiyeti hakkında bilgi verirler. İsimlerin tekil mi çoğul mu
oldukları İngilizce dilbilgisi açısından önemlidir çünkü İngilizce de özne tekil ise yüklem ve nesnede
kullanılan isim de tekil olmalıdır. Keza özne çoğul ise yüklem ve nesnedeki isim de çoğul olmalıdır.
