Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition and make sentences less repetitive and more fluid. They can refer to people, places, things, ideas, and more.
Personal Pronouns:
These replace specific nouns and can be subjective (subject of the sentence), objective (object of the verb), or possessive (indicating ownership).
Subjective: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Possessive: my/mine, your/yours, his, her/hers, its, our/ours, their/theirs
Demonstrative Pronouns:
These point to specific things or people.
This, that, these, those
Relative Pronouns:
These introduce relative clauses and connect them to the noun they modify.
Who, whom, whose, which, that
Interrogative Pronouns:
These are used to ask questions.
Who, whom, whose, which, what
Indefinite Pronouns:
These refer to non-specific people or things.
Someone, anybody, anything, everybody, nothing, each, both, either, neither
Reflexive Pronouns:
These end in "-self" or "-selves" and refer back to the subject of the sentence.
Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves
Intensive Pronouns:
These are used for emphasis and are the same as reflexive pronouns but not necessary for the sentence's meaning.
