The sentence is not about believing Franny, but about who won the competition. | | | This pronoun belongs to the clause "that the culprit was she." In this clause, "culprit" is the subject and "she" is the subject complement. | | | Although this pronoun comes at the end of the sentence, it actually serves as the subject of an implied verb. |

| | Possessive pronoun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | There are seven possessive pronouns in modern English: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs. | | | It should be noted however that precisely because a possessive adjective constitutes a determiner phrase, and not a noun phrase, strictly speaking its lexical category is determiner, not pronoun. | | | In such contexts, in order to distinguish determinative possessive pronouns from the possessive pronouns described above, the latter are also called independent possessive pronouns, because they constitute full noun phrases and don't depend on a noun. |

| | PRONOMINALIZATION OF THE POSSESSIVES & THE DEMONSTRATIVES |
| | Perhaps one will consider the possibility of describing the pronominal use of these particular personal pronouns by the same transformation that describes the pronominal use of the other demonstratives. | | | One possibility to describe (1a) and (2a) is to consider demonstratives, like personal pronouns, as having first and second person forms. | | | So, since there is already independent motivation to classify them as separate from the demonstratives, the move to make them deictic nominals will not bring about a simplification of the grammar. |
