Singular Plural
(as subjects)
I we
you you
he, she, it they
(as objects)
Me us
you you
him, her, it them
Start with the singular subjects, then go to the plural subjects. Move from there to the singular objects then move to the plural objects. Use a rhythm like "da" (pause) "da" (pause) "da da da" (pause) "da" (pause) "da" (pause) "da") Repeat these lists aloud to yourself, and you'll find the rhythm. Once you've done that, you'll never forget what the pronouns are. I learned this is third grade, and I still can "sing" the rhythm to myself after 30 years.
Get the pronouns downIf you think about it, pronouns are mostly used as antecedents, in that they are usually the reference point for who is doing what or what is being done to whom. Here's a good example: It was he who threw the ball. Who does "who" refer back to? It refers back to "he", and since it was referred, it can also be called a reference point or an antecedent.I never learned the Dee de Dee rhythm, but I am living proof that you can get them down without it. Most pronouns are in the third person (he,she,they, them), and the rest is referrring to yourself, yourself and others, which I had to learn all in spanish in college. Right now, I am thinking of the grouping of these in spanish, as that was when I really got them down.
I really learned spanish by using it in ordinary conversations, with speaking full out in spanish being the goal, but I also did it by trying to translate simple words and phrases from English to spanish. I am trying not to ramble, as I think that all of this can help you get a better handlehold on these. Just try to include the pronouns in everyday speech or just at home. Just open a book and change all of the names to pronouns, and before long, you will have them down. If that doesn't work, try the mencia rhythm (Dee de Dee). Just a joke.

Five types of pronouns are:personal pronouns represent specific people or things: I/me, we/us, you/you, he/him, she/her, they/them, it/it.demonstrative pronouns indicate near or far in distance or time: this/that, these/those.possessive pronouns indicate something belongs to the person or thing: mine, ours, your, his, hers, theirs its (no apostrophe).interrogative pronouns are used to ask a questions: who, whom, which, what, whose.reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause; the reflexive pronoun is the same person or thing as that subject: myself, ourselves, yourself, yourselves, himself, herself, itself, themselves.

The pronouns that can show indicative type are "this," "that," "these," and "those." These pronouns indicate specific nouns by pointing to them in different ways (near or far, singular or plural).
The only thing to master when it comes to demonstrative pronouns is when they are functioning as pronouns and when they are functioning as adjectives:A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.An adjective is placed before a noun to describe that noun.The demonstrative pronouns are easy to learn because there are only four of them:this, that, these, and those.Examples:I'll take six of these and two of those. (demonstrative pronouns)I'll take six of these chocolates and two of those vanilla. (adjectives)
