Speaker 1 (00:01):
Section seventeen of one thousand and one Questions and Answers
on English Grammar by Benjamin Hathaway. Pronouns Number One give
the general rule for the agreement of pronouns. Pronouns must
agree with their antecedents in person, number, and gender, as
(00:22):
men may live fools, but fools they cannot die. Two
Why do they not agree also in case? Because case
is the relation of the pronoun to other words, and
the pronoun usually does not have the same relation as
its antecedent. Three Give two cases in which the rule
(00:45):
for agreement does not apply. One wherein your lordship, who shines?
Et cetera? Two it is i section four When the
antecedent represents an object personified, What is the person, number,
and gender of the pronoun? It agrees with it in
(01:08):
its figurative and not in its literal sense, as spring
with her many charms has come. Five. When the antecedent
is used in a metaphoric sense, what of the agreement
of the pronoun the pronoun agrees with its literal instead
of its figurative sense, as the monarch of the mountains
(01:31):
lifts his hoary head. Six, How does the pronoun agree
when its antecedent is a phrase or sentence. It agrees
with it in the third singular neuter. Seven How does
it affect the pronoun when its antecedent is preceded by
(01:53):
many a? When a singular noun is used with the
adjective many a, the pronoun re presenting it may be
either singular or plural. As many a day have we
been together? They were the happiest of my life. Full
many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste
(02:14):
its sweetness on the desert air? Eight? What is the
antecedent of the pronoun it? In the following how pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in unity? It
reigns in the first it is used to represent the
phrase for brethren to dwell et cetera, and is a
(02:38):
necessary explative. In the second, it has no definite antecedent. Nine.
What is the subject of the first sentence the phrase
for brethren to dwell et cetera? Ten? How are we
to know when it is an explotive when some other
(03:00):
part of the sentence really performs the function of the it?
And this word is used only to give a smoothness
or better form to the sentence than could be secured
without it. Eleven What pronouns have distinct forms of gender?
The personal pronouns of the third person as he masculine, she, feminine,
(03:24):
it neuter? Twelve What of the genders of personal pronouns
in the first and second persons? When the antecedents are expressed,
there is of course no doubt. When not expressed, we
must attribute masculine or feminine gender to them, or presume
that they represent both sexes. Thirteen Where is the pronoun
(03:49):
generally placed? It follows the noun or pronoun which it
represents as a bad workman quarrels with his tools. Fourteen
Name the exceptions there are four, One in interrogatives, as
whom have you invited as guests? Two in the case
(04:11):
of the introductory it, as it was Diogenes who lived
in a tub. Three when its antecedent is in apposition
with it, as I Alexander am Emperor of Russia. Four
when its antecedent is in the predicate with it, as
they are men whose word is as good as their bond.
(04:37):
Fifteen was the pronoun which, ever applied to persons it
was formerly as our father, which art in heaven, et cetera. Sixteen,
Where should the relative pronoun always be placed as near
its antecedent as possible, Otherwise obscurity or nonsense will be
(05:00):
the result. As we whom you have befriended will befriend them,
The correct idea to be conveyed is we will befriend
them whom you have befriended. The child has a ravenous appetite,
which we have just seen. This should read the child
(05:20):
which we have just seen has a ravenous appetite. Seventeen
What of the use of different pronouns for the same antecedent.
Avoid the use of different pronouns for the same antecedent
in the same sentence, as this is the man that
had a fortune, and who that went to Europe? Eighteen
(05:46):
What is peculiar of the pronouns who, which, what? And
that they and their compounds always precede the verb, even
when in the objective case as whom do you wish
whomsoever you desire to invite? Nineteen Give ten sentences in

exception to this rule? When the antecedents are only different
(08:06):
names for the same person or thing, they do not
require a plural pronoun, as that eminent lawyer and statesman
shot himself accidentally twenty two? How is a second antecedent
in the preceding and all similar sentences Parsted statesman is
(08:28):

the above rule When one or more of the antecedents
is preceded by each such every know or not, they
do not require a plural pronoun, as every plant and

(08:55):
third exception to the rule? When the antecedents are emphatically distinguished,
