Basic English Grammar: Pronouns - SHE, HER, HE, HIS

Hello. How are you? I'm very, very well. Thank you. My name is Ronnie. I'm going to teach

Привет. Как поживаете? Я хорошо, спасибо. Я Ronnie. Я хочу научить вас

чему то очень простому, но немного смущающему... и сложному даже если вы изучали английский

you something very easy but a little bit confusing and difficult even if you have studied English

or grammar for a while. I hear people make this mistake every day. Again, so this is

или грамматику недавно. Я слышу эту ошибку от людей постоянно. Еще раз

what we're doing: when you should use "she" or "he" or "his" -- sorry -- "her" or "his".

когда мы используем SHE или HE или HIS ... простите ... HER или HIS.

These are two words that a lot of people get confused.

Эти два слова очень смущают людей.

First of all, the thing -- or a mistake that a lot of people make is "she" and "he" -- which

Прежде всего люди путают SHE и HE

one's the girl? Which one's the boy? Most of you know that "she" is the girl, but when

кто девочка? Кто мальчик? Большинство из вас знаю что SHE для девочки, но когда

you speak, you mix it up, and you say, "My mom went to the store. He bought -- " what?

вы разговариваете - волнуетесь и говорите "Моя мама ходила в магазин. Он купил..." ЧТО?

He what? Your mom is a "he" now? What happened on the way to the store? Did something happen

Он что? Твоя мама ОН? Что случилось по пути в магазин? Что случилось, что

to your mom that changed it into a "he"? So be careful. "She" is a girl; "he" is a boy.

твоя мама стала ОН? Так что будьте аккуратны. "SHE" это девочка, "HE" это мальчик.

Now, this is the trick. You will remember this forever if you get this. "She" or "he"

going to be followed by a verb, okay? So subject + verb. "She" or "he". So "she likes", "he

hates", and then, if you want to, you're going to write a noun, or you're going to say a

noun. For example, "She likes chickens." "He hates apricots. He doesn't like them at all."

So when you use "she" or "he", it's always going to be followed by a verb.

When we use "her" or "his", it's going to be followed by a noun because it is a possessive

pronoun. So I can say, "her dog" because "dog" is a noun. Or I can say "his chicken". Then,

usually, I would use a verb. For example, "Her dog is cute", or "his chicken -- let's

say we put an S -- his chickens are -- these are your verbs. Uh-oh -- sexy!" Sexy chicken

time! So if you need to remember, "Oh, my God. Do

I say -- do I say 'her' or 'his' or 'she' or 'he'?" Just remember: "she" or "he" plus

the verb -- any verb you want, and "her" or "his" plus a noun. If you can remember these

two very simple things for English grammar, you're going to be, "Hallelujah, Ronnie. You

saved my life." You're welcome. Stay tuned. Go to www.engvid.com for a quiz
