PRONOUNS

Independent Pronouns

Like some of the prepositions, independent personal pronouns are separate forms

They may be used as subject pronouns/ subjects of clauses Correspond to English’s

I, you, he, she, we, they They may not be used as direct objects of verbs or as

objects of a preposition Special pronominal suffixes must be added to

verbs, prepositions, and nouns to indicate pronominal relationships other than that of subjects. These will be introduced later

Often sentences that use independent personal pronouns as subjects will be verbless clauses (with the verb ‘to be’ implied)

The present tense of ‘to be’ is not expressed with a word in Hebrew, it is implied and must be added in English.

Functions of Demonstrative Pronouns Like adjectives, they may be used attributively. In

this case they agree in gender, number, and definiteness with the nouns to which they refer. They also come after the nouns to which they refer. Demonstrative pronouns regularly take the definite article

when used attributively. Independent personal pronouns, on the other hand, may only be used as subject pronouns, and therefore never take the definite article.

Demonstrative pronouns may also be used predicatively. Like predicate adjectives, they agree in gender and number with the nouns to which they are linked but they never take the article.
