Introduction to Pronouns

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence to avoid repetition and make sentences
clearer.

Types of Pronouns:
1. Personal Pronouns: Represent specific people or things (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
2. Possessive Pronouns: Show ownership (e.g., mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs).
3. Reflexive Pronouns: Refer back to the subject (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself,
ourselves, themselves).
4. Demonstrative Pronouns: Point to specific things (e.g., this, that, these, those).
5. Interrogative Pronouns: Used to ask questions (e.g., who, whom, whose, which, what).
6. Relative Pronouns: Introduce dependent clauses (e.g., who, whom, whose, which, that).
7. Indefinite Pronouns: Refer to nonspecific things or people (e.g., someone, anyone, everyone,
nobody, everything).

Examples:
- "She is my friend." (Personal pronoun)
- "This book is mine." (Possessive pronoun)
- "He hurt himself." (Reflexive pronoun)
- "Who is calling?" (Interrogative pronoun)
- "The student who won is happy." (Relative pronoun)

Conclusion:
Pronouns make language more efficient and help avoid redundancy. Understanding their usage
improves communication skills.
