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.
