We’ll begin with box; the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is
oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, and
two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose
is never called meese.
You may find a lone mouse
or a house full of mice;
But the plural of house
is houses, not hice.
The plural of man is always
men,
But the plural of pan is
never pen.
If I speak of a foot, and
you show me two feet,
And I give you a book,
would a pair be a beek?
If one is a tooth and a
whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn’t two booths
be called beeth?
If the singular’s this and
the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss
be ever called keese?
We speak of a brother and
also of brethren,
But though we say mother,
we never say methren.
Then the masculine
pronouns are he, his, and him;
But imagine the feminine
. . . she, shis, and shim!

Subject Pronouns × Objective Pronouns
Os SUBJECT PRONOUNS normalmente aparecem no
início da sentença, mas obrigatoriamente antes do verbo ao qual se relacionam e
com ele fazem concordância. Os OBJECTIVE PRONOUNS aparecem depois do verbo e
completam sua informação.
EX: The
teachers (=They) saw David (=him).
The boy (=He)
plays the guitar (=it).
Possessive Adjectives × Possessive
Pronouns
Os POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES estão relacionados a
um substantivo expressando ideia de posse ou pertença. Vêm sempre antes desse
substantivo. Os POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS possuem a mesma função, porém não se ligam
a substantivo, uma vez que o substituem.
EX: This is my
necklace. (possessive adjective + substantivo)
That is yours. (= your necklace, para não repetir necklace)
Reflexive Pronouns
Os REFLEXIVE ADJECTIVES são usados quando:
a) o complemento do verbo é o mesmo que o
sujeito
EX: He shot himself. (sujeito = ele; alvo da ação de atirar = ele)
b) para dar mais ênfase ao sujeito ou ao
objeto
EX: I did it
myself. (enfatiza
o fato de eu ter feito)
They spoke to
the Director herself. (enfatiza
a importância da diretora).
c) com a preposição “by”, com a ideia de
“sozinho, sem ajuda de ninguém”.
EX: When I was
6 years old, I used to go to school by
myself.
