## Task 5 Grammar

Why Do We Need Pronouns?

Pronouns take the place of nouns when we are writing or talking about something.
It would be very tiresome if we had to repeat the same noun over and over again.
Just look at how long it takes to express ideas without using pronouns:

A Day at the Park
Sammy went to the park with Sammy’s mother and Sammy’s father. Sammy and Sammy’s mother and Sammy’s father ran on the lawn. Then Sammy’s father pushed Sammy on the swings while Sammy’s mother smiled and watched. Then Sammy’s mother spread out a blanket on the lawn and read a book while Sammy and Sammy’s father played catch with a ball. Sammy threw the ball too hard, and Sammy’s father had to chase after the ball. Sammy did some somersaults, rolling forward on Sammy’s head and kicking Sammy’s feet up over Sammy’s head. Sammy giggled and
lay on the grass until Sammy’s dad came back. Sammy, Sammy’s mother, and Sammy’s father ate sandwiches together before Sammy, Sammy’s mother, and Sammy’s father went back home.

#### Task 5.1

Personal pronouns

Watch the video of Alfie and Oliver again.

Wat voor soort woorden zijn de rode woorden?

In het Nederlands noemen we dit 'persoonlijk voornaamwoorden'.

Je gebruikt deze woorden om namen van mensen, dieren of dingen te vervangen.

Bijvoorbeeld:

- Ibrahim fietst altijd heel snel naar school.
- Hij vindt school erg leuk.
- De leraar vindt hem aardig.

Schrijf de tabel met de 'personal pronouns' over in je schrift en doe de oefening.

In deze video wordt het gebruik van personal pronouns nog een keer uitgelegd.

#### Task 5.2

Do the practice tests to check if you understand how pronouns work.

Write down your grade in your notebook.
