2. What is Muriel's number one aim in life?
3. Why do you think Muriel wanted to be called Mariel instead?
4. Why do think Muriel so desperately wanted to get married?
5. What became a turning point for Muriel? When in the story did she "wake up" and what did she realise then?

Genitive



What is a Pronoun?


In grammar, a pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that may be substituted for a noun or noun phrase.

Without pronouns, we’d have to keep on repeating nouns, and that would make our speech and writing repetitive, not to mention cumbersome. Most pronouns are very short words. Examples include:
  • He
  • She
  • They
  • It
  • We
  • Who




Ex: Eric Weihenmeyer is a blind mountain climber. (noun)
       He is a blind mountain climber. (pronoun)



Different types of pronouns:
Personal, possessive (my, your, his...), relative (who, which, that) etc.
