1. Personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things (e.g. I, you, he, she, it, we, they). Example: "She is going to the store."

2. Demonstrative pronouns point to specific items (e.g. this, that, these, those). Example: "This is my favorite book."

3. Possessive pronouns show ownership or relationship (e.g. mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs). Example: "That jacket is hers."

4. Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions (e.g. who, whom, whose, which, what). Example: "Who is coming to the party?"
