The order of parsing an ADJECTIVE PRONOUN, is--an adjective pronoun, and
why?--distributive, demonstrative, or indefinite, and why?--to what
noun does it belong, or with what does it agree?--RULE.
"_One_ man instructs many _others." One_ is an adjective pronoun, or
specifying adjective, it specifically points out a noun--indefinite, it
expresses its subject in an indefinite or general manner, and belongs to
the noun "man," according to RULE 19. _Adjective pronouns belong to
nouns, expressed or understood_.
_Others_ is a compound pronoun, including both an adjective pronoun and
a noun, and is equivalent to _other men_. _Other_ is an adjective
pronoun, it is used specifically to describe its noun--indefinite, it
expresses its subject in an indefinite manner, and belongs to _men_:
Rule 19. (Repeat the rule.) _Men_ is a noun, a name denoting
persons--common, &c. (parse it in full;) and in the objective case, it
is the object of the action expressed by the transitive verb
"instructs," and gov. by it: Rule 20. _Active-transitive verbs, &c_.
"_Those_ books are _mine_."
_Those_ is an adjective pronoun, it specifies what noun is referred
to--demonstrative, it precisely points out the subject to which it
relates--and agrees with the noun "books" in the plural number,
according to NOTE 1, under Rule 19.
