Is most a personal pronoun

Answer 1

No, the pronoun 'most' is an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for an unknown or unnamed amount. The indefinite pronoun 'most' can function as both singular and plural.

A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a specific person or thing.

The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.

Examples:

Of all the volunteers, he raised the most. (indefinite pronoun)

John is the top fundraiser. He raised the most. (the personal pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'John' in the second sentence)

Most of the money was raised by John. (singular indefinite pronoun)

Most of the volunteers were hard workers. (plural indefinite pronoun)

The word 'most' also functions as an adjective (much, more, most) and an adverb.

Examples:

Of all the volunteers, he raised the most money. (adjective, describes the noun 'money')

Of all the volunteers, he was the most industrious. (adverb, modifies the adjective 'industrious')
