Which is not a singular subject pronoun?

Defining a Singular Pronoun

All pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. The prefix "pro" means "for," so a pronoun is "for a noun." This allows the text to flow better and not be filled with repetitions of nouns.

Some pronouns are designed to reflect singular situations, and some reflect plural situations. Singular pronouns represent singular nouns. Any time you need to use a pronoun to replace a noun, consider whether the noun is plural or singular. If it is singular, it should be replaced with a singular pronoun.

Examples of Singular Pronouns

It is important to understand which pronouns are singular so that you are successful in using a singular pronoun when the word it is replacing in the sentence (the antecedent) is singular. Here is a singular pronouns list for each of the types of pronouns.

subject pronouns - I, you, he, she, it, they (when used as a gender-inclusive pronoun)

object pronouns - me, you, him, her, it, them

possessive pronouns - my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, theirs

interrogative pronouns - who, whom, whose, what, which

indefinite pronouns - another, each, everything, nobody, either, someone

relative pronouns - who, whom, whose, that, which

reflexive and intensive pronouns - myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself

demonstrative pronouns - this, that

Antecedents & Pronouns: Show the Relationship

A pronoun often refers back to a noun, pronoun, phrase, or clause in a sentence or sentences, and that is the pronoun's antecedent. If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun that refers back to it must be singular. This is called pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Tips for Tricky Situations With Singular Pronouns

There are certain situations and some words that can be bothersome when trying to make pronouns and their antecedents agree. Keep the following tips in mind.

Ignore Other Words Between the Antecedent and Pronoun

Sometimes there are a lot of words and phrases between the antecedent and the pronoun, so you need to ignore those extra words and focus on the words that need to agree.

My mother is running for the city council in our small town near the border, so she is making signs to advertise her candidacy.

People were making fun of the lunchbox with the purple sparkly handle and frolicking unicorns with rainbow hair, and I was kind of embarrassed to admit that it was mine.

When Aaron checked his email on the rainy day in March just before Easter, I was the last person he expected to hear from.

Know That Groups Can Sometimes Be Singular

Other times, the subject is referring to a group of people or things. In this case, the group is treated as singular.

A herd of cows came into the road, where it held up traffic for an hour.

Our team won the debate because it was the most prepared.

When it came back from deliberations, the jury quickly found the man guilty.

A Compound Subject Sometimes Needs a Singular Pronoun

A compound subject will need a singular pronoun if the words "or" or "nor" are joining the subjects. If this is the case, the subject that is closer to the pronoun is the one the pronoun must agree with.

The workers or the boss wanted his hours changed.

Neither Sam nor Fred wanted to sign his name to the document.

Neither the book nor the movie received the recognition it deserved.

O'Connor once stated: "I have found that anything that comes out of South is going to be called grotesque by the Northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic. Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one." Infer what O'Connor means by this statement.

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.

And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
Of Williamsport, Pa. and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed.

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

I fell back,
Dazed, clutching my brow,
Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"
And everybody peeled away from me
And dropped from laughter, and there we were,
All of us writhing on the ground for one reason
Or another.

Someone said "shin" again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was
Through his tears, picking me up
And dusting me off with hands like swatters, And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
"Yours" and "take it," but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set,
"Hum baby" sweetly on my lips.
