Chief differences between personal and relative pronouns include function and reference. personal pronouns stand for persons, while relative pronouns introduce relative clauses. Appositive use occurs to rename or clarify a noun, often set off by commas. Examples: I, myself, and she. Active voice presents the subject performing the action, while passive voice has the subject receiving the action. When changing active to passive, the object becomes the subject and the verb is conjugated with a form of be plus past participle. Masculine and feminine gender distinctions appear in pronouns, nouns with natural gender, and agreement with verbs or adjectives. Examples: masculine he, his. feminine she, hers. natural gender nouns like actor/actress or waiter/waitress. Personal pronouns identify people. indirect object receives the action for or to whom. indirect quotation reports what someone says with that clause. indirect question embeds a question within another clause. A predicate adjective follows a linking verb and describes the subject. In parsing, identify the subject and linking verb, then classify and relocate the adjective as a descriptor of the subject. The phrase in bold is parsed as: By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead. Sentences divide by use (narrative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory) and by form (simple, compound, complex, compound-complex). Verbs divide by form (finite, nonfinite) and by use (tas to main, auxiliary, modal).
