Any word that modifies or describes a noun or a pronoun is an adjective. 

The noun or pronoun that follows the preposition in a phrase is the object of the preposition.

To communicate well in writing, one must use the correct forms of nominative and objective pronouns and the pronouns ending in self in a number of different contexts.

Possessive personal pronouns, such as my, your, his, her, its, our, and their, and possessive nouns, such as Jason’s and Linda’s, can be used as adjectives to modify nouns. 

If a pronoun follows and completes the meaning of the infinitive verb to be when to be has no subject, then that pronoun must be a subject of a sentence and its direct object.

Use the objective case pronoun forms—me, us, him, her, them, whom, whomever—when the pronouns are objects of verbs, prepositions, or infinitives. 

The words a, an, and the are called past participles.

Use angry with when the object of the preposition is a person; use angry at or about when the object is not a person. 

There are three cases, or forms, of pronouns—possessive, nominative, and subjective. 

Use who to refer to persons and which to refer to objects.
