3. Who is the King of Glory? What shall I say to him?
4. What is truth? Which is the path of duty?
5. In whom shall I put my trust? What did you say?

Whose house is this?

6. Who will be first?
7. Upon what do you depend?

8. In whose yard did you play?

Whose son are you, my boy?
What did you do?

9. Whom did you marry? Who will prove it?

Many errors are made in ordinary speech by not observing the proper case form of the pronoun who. Often we hear such incorrect sentences as Who did you say? Who will she marry? that should be Whom did you say? and Whom will she marry?

Remember to use who when it is the subject and whom when it is the object of the sentence.

Exercise 2. Complete these sentences by inserting the correct form:

There are some pronouns that are used to point out certain persons, places, or things. In the above sentences the words this and that are used to point out a certain book and a certain story, and are called demonstrative pronouns. Demonstrative means showing or pointing out. A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun used to point out certain persons, places, or things.

We may divide demonstrative pronouns into three classes.

1. Demonstrative pronouns that refer to particular persons, places, or things.

this, that, these, those.

2. Demonstrative pronouns that refer to general persons, places, or things.

few, many, one, none, several, some, other, all.

3. Demonstrative pronouns that refer to persons, places, or things considered in their relations.

each, either, neither, another.

When these pronouns are used to describe a noun expressed in the sentence, they are no longer pronouns, but

become adjectives. If we say Many men have many minds, the word many is an adjective because it describes men or minds. If we say Many were lost in the wreck, the word many is a pronoun because it refers to persons not expressed in the sentence.

Exercise 1. In the following sentences tell whether the words in Italics are pronouns or adjectives:

1. Each thought of the many loved ones at home.

2. Any man can do that if he tries.

3. Both were injured in this wreck.

4. Neither of you has any cause for complaint.

5. None of us is expected at either place.

6. Let us do all we can for all men.

7. Many are called, but few are chosen.

8. Look on this picture and then on that.

9. Some were amused, others mortified, a few were angry.
10. At another time all of us can go.

11. One was taken and another left.

12. Much remains to be said.

13. Too much eating will make any one ill.

14. I told him many things, and he remembered all.

15. Both went to the war; one only returned.

Exercise 2. Write sentences containing the following words used (1) as demonstrative pronouns, (2) as adjectives:

this, many, each, several, few, some,
those, neither, all, one, another, several.

LESSON 57.-PARSING PRONOUNS

In the parsing of pronouns we must tell

1. The kind of pronoun- whether personal, relative, interrogative, or demonstrative.

2. Its gender, number, and person.

3. Its antecedent, if there is one.

4. Its case.

LESSON 58. — EXERCISES ON PRONOUNS

Many errors of speech are made in the use of pronouns because they have so many forms. It is only by care and practice that we can acquire ease and accuracy. Remember that the subject of a verb must be in the nominative case, and the object of a verb or of a preposition must be in the objective case.
