Latin Grammar: Demonstrative Pronouns |
Pronouns are words which take the place of nouns. Whereas first and second person pronouns are fairly straight-forward (e.g.: ego, nos, tu, vos) the third person pronouns are more varied. They are demonstrative, pointing out he, she, or it, but more specifically: "he over there" or "she right here," etc. In the passage above, we find several examples of third person demonstratives in the genitive case: eius and huius. Refresh your memory of the paradigms for these two forms by completing the charts below. |
