The order of parsing an ADJECTIVE PRONOUN, is--an adjective pronoun, and
why?--distributive, demonstrative, or indefinite, and why?--to what
noun does it belong, or with what does it agree?--RULE.
"_One_ man instructs many _others." One_ is an adjective pronoun, or
specifying adjective, it specifically points out a noun--indefinite, it
expresses its subject in an indefinite or general manner, and belongs to
the noun "man," according to RULE 19. _Adjective pronouns belong to
nouns, expressed or understood_.
_Others_ is a compound pronoun, including both an adjective pronoun and
a noun, and is equivalent to _other men_. _Other_ is an adjective
pronoun, it is used specifically to describe its noun--indefinite, it
expresses its subject in an indefinite manner, and belongs to _men_:
Rule 19. (Repeat the rule.) _Men_ is a noun, a name denoting
persons--common, &c. (parse it in full;) and in the objective case, it
is the object of the action expressed by the transitive verb
"instructs," and gov. by it: Rule 20. _Active-transitive verbs, &c_.
"_Those_ books are _mine_."
_Those_ is an adjective pronoun, it specifies what noun is referred
to--demonstrative, it precisely points out the subject to which it
relates--and agrees with the noun "books" in the plural number,
according to NOTE 1, under Rule 19. _Adjective pronouns must agree in
number with their nouns_.
_Mine_ is a compound personal pronoun, including both the possessor and
the thing possessed, and is equivalent to _my books_. _My_ is a pron. a
word used instead of a noun--personal, it stands for the name of the
person speaking--first person, it denotes the speaker--sing. number, it
implies but one--and in the poss. case, it denotes possession, and is
gov. by "books," according to Rule 12. (Repeat the rule, and decline
the pronoun.) _Books_ is a noun, the name of a thing--common, &c. (parse
it in full;)--and in the nominative case after "are," according to RULE
21. _The verb_ to be _admits the same case after it as before it_.
