Basic English Grammar: Pronouns - SHE, HER, HE, HIS

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. How are you? I'm very, very well. Thank you. My name is Ronnie. I'm going to teach you something very easy but a little bit confusing and difficult even if you have studied English or grammar for a while. I hear people make this mistake every day. Again, so this is what we're doing: when you should use "she" or "he" or "his" -- sorry -- "her" or "his". These are two words that a lot of people get confused.

First of all, the thing -- or a mistake that a lot of people make is "she" and "he" -- which one's the girl? Which one's the boy? Most of you know that "she" is the girl, but when you speak, you mix it up, and you say, "My mom went to the store. He bought -- " what? He what? Your mom is a "he" now? What happened on the way to the store? Did something happen to your mom that changed it into a "he"? So be careful. "She" is a girl; "he" is a boy.

Now, this is the trick. You will remember this forever if you get this. "She" or "he" going to be followed by a verb, okay? So subject + verb. "She" or "he". So "she likes", "he hates", and then, if you want to, you're going to write a noun, or you're going to say a noun. For example, "She likes chickens." "He hates apricots. He doesn't like them at all." So when you use "she" or "he", it's always going to be followed by a verb. When we use "her" or "his", it's going to be followed by a noun because it is a possessive pronoun. So I can say, "her dog" because "dog" is a noun. Or I can say "his chicken". Then, usually, I would use a verb. For example, "Her dog is cute", or "his chicken -- let's say we put an S -- his chickens are -- these are your verbs. Uh-oh -- sexy!" Sexy chicken time!

I think anybody can have the knowledge, but not anybody can teach it the way you do, Ronnie. I want to be an English teacher and your videos are helping me a lot! Thank you.

Hi Ronnie, my name is Kassya and I'm from Brazil! Hahah
I love your lessons. Actually they have helped me a lot despite having to use a lot of google translator hahaha "one case apart". It's good fun and good to learn from you, I swear that when I started to study English I thought the hardest thing would be to write until I found out that this is the easiest. I think that because I have no one to talk to in English is what makes pronunciation more difficult. It's great to have you as a teacher, thank you for everything, kassya.
