Today,we have grammar presentation about pronouns  by my friends it is Aini,Zura and Jiha.


this is some infomation that i get from the presentation..

A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less difficult and less repetitive.
Types of pronouns:
ØPersonal pronouns
SUBJECTIVE  PERSONAL PRONOUNS
To replace nouns as the subjects of sentences
Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they)
OBJECTIVE PERSONAL PRONOUNS
To replace nouns as the objects of verbs and prepositions
Object pronouns(me, you, her, him, it, us, them )
POSSESSIVE PERSONAL PRONOUNS
To replace nouns to show possession and defines who owns a particular object or person
Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, theirs, ours) 

ØDemonstrative pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns points to and identifies a noun or a pronoun.
This” and “These” refers to things that are nearby either in space or in time.
That” and “Those” refers to things that are farther away in space or time.

ØInterrogative pronouns
To replace nouns used to ask questions.
Interrogative pronouns (who, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever)

ØIndefinite pronouns

anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none,
one, several, some, somebody, and someone).

The reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and
  themselves.

ØIntensive pronouns
Intensive pronouns used to emphasise its antecedent.
Intensive pronouns are identical in form to reflexive pronouns.

Second topic is DETERMINERS. This topic was presented by Ila, Mira and Edlina. My friend said that this group provide a gift if somebody would be able to answer their question based on this topic. Such a great thing. =)

Determiners is - help to identify and used to show quantity.
                         - word like a, the, my, this, some etc,
vThere are 2 main groups of determiners :

Group A determiners
- Help to identify things. Examples are : 
Articles : a/an,the
Possessive : my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their, one’s, whose
Demonstratives : this, these, that, those

Note that two Group A determiners cannot be put together. We can say the cat, my cat or this cat, but not  the my cat, or my this cat.

 Group B determiners
ØMost Group B determiners are quantifiers. Examples are :

  -  Some, any,no
  -  Eachevery, either, neither
  -  Much, many, more, most a little, lessleasta fewfewerfewest;
  -  enoughseveral
  -  Allbothhalf
  - Whatwhateverwhichwhichever
  - Onetwothree etc. 






During night class, they had learn on reading part. They had learn on how to skimming and scanning information from the text. 

SKIMMING - refers to the process of quickly identifying the main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of its content.

SCANNING - reading skill used to find spesific information quickly.
