<div class="message">This is an interactive tool to help you learn how to use different kinds of pronouns.
There are several story options, all of them are a single-page experience that shows you everything you need to start using an unfamiliar pronoun.
You can practise 28 different pronouns here. If you don't see the pronoun you want, let me know in the comments and I will include it in a future release.

[[Choose your pronoun->choose]]</div><div class="message">$Psubject knew that there was no reason to keep the artefact. After all, the curse would come for $pobject as well if $psubject did. It glowed a soft and scintillating light in $possessiveadj hands, and $psubject thought to $preflexive that this was not a curse, but an opportunity. With the power of this object, $psubject could finally make things right. It was a gift for $pobject and $pobject alone. $Psubject smiled, and clutched it tighter. It was $possessivepro now, and no-one could take it from $pobject.

$Psubject must be brought back by some one.

</div><div class="message">When $psubject reached home, $psubject found $possessiveadj servant waiting up for $pobject. $Psubject sent him to bed, and threw $preflexive down on the sofa in the library, and began to think over some of the things that Lord Henry had said to $pobject.
Was it really true that one could never change? $Psubject felt a wild longing for the unstained purity of $possessiveadj childhood, $possessiveadj rose-white childhood, as Lord Henry had once called it. $Psubject knew that $psubject had tarnished $preflexive, filled $possessiveadj mind with corruption, and given horror to $possessiveadj fancy; that $psubject had been an evil influence to others, and had experienced a terrible joy in being so; and that, of the lives that had crossed $possessiveadj own, it had been the fairest and the most full of promise that $psubject had brought to shame. But was it all irretrievable ? Was there no hope for $pobject?

<div class="message">I pursued $pobject; and for many months this has been my task. Guided by a slight clue, I followed the windings of the Rhone, but vainly. The blue Mediterranean appeared; and, by a strange chance, I saw the fiend enter by night, and hide $preflexive in a vessel bound for the Black Sea. I took my passage in the same ship; but $psubject escaped, I know not how.
Amidst the wilds of Tartary and Russia, although $psubject still evaded me, I have ever followed in $possessiveadj track. Sometimes the peasants, scared by this horrid apparition, informed me of $possessiveadj path; sometimes $psubject $preflexive, who feared that if I lost all trace I should despair and die, often left some mark to guide me. The snows descended on my head, and I saw the print of $possessiveadj huge step on the white plain. To you first entering on life, to whom care is new, and agony unknown, how can you understand what I have felt, and still feel? Cold, want, and fatigue, were the least pains which I was destined to endure; I was cursed by some devil, and carried about with me my eternal hell.

$title Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and $possessiveadj voice sank almost to a whisper as $psubject answered:
"Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"
I confess that at these words a shudder passed through me. There was a thrill in the doctor's voice which showed that $psubject was $preflexive deeply moved by that which $psubject told us. Holmes leaned forward in his excitement, and his eyes had the hard, dry glitter which shot from them when he was keenly interested.

</div><div class="message">Soon $possessiveadj eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: $psubject opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words ‘EAT ME’ were beautifully marked in currants. ‘Well, I’ll eat it,’ $psubject said, ‘and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I’ll get into the garden, and I don’t care which happens!’
$Psubject ate a little bit, and said anxiously to $preflexive, ‘Which way?

“So,” said $psubject, “here's Jim Hawkins, shiver my timbers! Dropped in, like, eh? Well, come, I take that friendly.”
And thereupon $psubject sat down across the brandy cask and began to fill a pipe.

<div class="message">Though a light from the one lamp shone dimly on the bed, Hook stood in darkness $preflexive, and at the first stealthy step forward $psubject discovered an obstacle, the door of Slightly's tree. It did not entirely fill the aperture, and $psubject had been looking over it. Feeling for the catch, $psubject found to $possessiveadj fury that it was low down, beyond $possessiveadj reach. To $possessiveadj disordered brain it seemed then that the irritating quality in Peter's face and figure visibly increased, and $psubject rattled the door and flung $preflexive against it. Was $possessiveadj enemy to escape $pobject after all?
But what was that? The red in $possessiveadj eye had caught sight of Peter's medicine standing on a ledge within easy reach. $Psubject fathomed what it was straightaway, and immediately knew that the sleeper was in $possessiveadj power.
Lest $psubject should be taken alive, Hook always carried about $possessiveadj person a dreadful drug, blended by $preflexive of all the death-dealing rings that had come into $possessiveadj possession. These $psubject had boiled down into a yellow liquid quite unknown to science, which was probably the most virulent poison in existence.
