Đại từ tân ngữ (Object pronouns)
Gồm me / you / him / her / it / us / them. Đứng sau động từ hoặc giới từ, làm tân ngữ. Ví dụ: Could you give me that? / give it to me.
Tính từ sở hữu (Possessive determiners)
Gồm my / your / his / her / its / our / their, dùng để chỉ sự sở hữu và luôn đi kèm một danh từ phía sau. Ví dụ: That's their car. Lưu ý: its (của nó) khác it's (= it is).
Đại từ sở hữu (Possessive pronouns)
Gồm mine / yours / his / hers / ours / theirs, đứng một mình thay cho "tính từ sở hữu + danh từ", không có danh từ theo sau. Ví dụ: That car is ours. (Không có đại từ sở hữu cho it.)
Đại từ phản thân (Reflexive pronouns)
Gồm myself / yourself / himself / herself / itself / ourselves / yourselves / themselves. Dùng khi chủ ngữ và tân ngữ là cùng một người/vật, hoặc để nhấn mạnh ai tự làm việc gì. Ví dụ: I did it myself!
