ADJECTIVES WITH PRONOUNS

+262.+ Since pronouns are used in place of nouns, they may have

modifiers, also, just as nouns do. So you will often find adjectives

used to modify pronouns. As, for example; _He, tired, weak and ill, was

unable to hold his position_. Here, _tired_, _weak_ and _ill_ are

adjectives modifying the pronoun _he_.

+263.+ We often find a participle used as an adjective with a pronoun.

As, for example:

She, having finished her work, went home.

They, having completed the organization, left the city.

He, having been defeated, became discouraged.

In these sentences, the participles, _having finished_, _having

completed_, and _having been defeated_, are used as adjectives to modify

the pronouns _she_, _they_ and _he_.
