Pronouns and its Types

Pronouns are words used in place of nouns or noun phrases to avoid repetition and make sentences
smoother. They stand in for a specific noun that is either mentioned earlier or is clear from the context.
Pronouns can refer to people, things, or places.

Types of Pronouns

1. Personal Pronouns:

o Subject Pronouns: Used as the subject of a sentence.

 Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

o Object Pronouns: Used as the object of a verb or preposition.

 Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

2. Possessive Pronouns:

o Indicate ownership or possession.

o Examples: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

3. Reflexive Pronouns:

o Refer back to the subject of the sentence and end in "-self" or "-selves".

o Examples: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

4. Demonstrative Pronouns:

o Point to specific things or people.

o Examples: this, that, these, those

5. Interrogative Pronouns:

o Used to ask questions.

o Examples: who, whom, whose, which, what

6. Relative Pronouns:

o Introduce relative clauses, linking them to a noun or pronoun.

o Examples: who, whom, whose, which, that

7. Indefinite Pronouns:

o Refer to non-specific people or things.

o Examples: anyone, everyone, someone, nobody, nothing, anything, several, many

8. Reciprocal Pronouns:
o Express a mutual action or relationship.

o Examples: each other, one another

9. Distributive Pronouns:

o Refer to members of a group individually rather than collectively.

o Examples: each, either, neither

These different types of pronouns are used in various contexts to replace nouns, clarify meaning, or refer
to previously mentioned entities.

Here's a pronoun chart that includes the subject pronoun, object pronoun, possessive adjective,
possessive pronoun, and reflexive pronoun for each person:
