A vague pronoun is a pronoun that lacks a clear antecedent.
In the sentence, "Even though the car backed in the wall it was not damaged.", it's not clear which noun the pronoun 'it' represents. The car was not damaged or the wall was not damaged. The pronoun 'it' is the vague pronoun.
The sentence must be revised to show which noun the pronoun 'it' replaces. Examples:
The car was not damaged even though it backed into the wall.
The wall was not damaged even though the car backed into it.
The pronoun in the sentence is his, a possessive adjective used to describe the noun 'jeans'.
No, the word 'laugh' is a verb (laugh, laughs, laughing, laughed) and a noun (laugh, laughs).A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronoun that takes the place of the noun 'laugh' is it.Examples:You will laugh at what happened. (verb)I need a good laugh. (noun)It will lift my spirits. (pronoun)
In the sentence, the possessive pronoun "his" is used as an adjective to describe the noun "jeans." It indicates ownership, specifying that the jeans belong to "he." Therefore, "his" modifies "jeans" to convey that they are associated with the male subject.
No, the pronouns 'she' and 'I' are subject pronouns used as the object of the preposition 'between'.The first use of the subject pronoun 'she' is correct as the subject of the clause (I hope she will keep...) even though it follows the verb 'hope'.The correct sentence is, "I hope she will keep this between her and me." The pronouns 'her' and 'me' are object pronouns needed as the object of the preposition 'between'.Or, to simplify, "I hope she will keep this between us."The pronoun 'us' is the plural, object pronoun.
All is usually used as an adjective, though it can be used as a noun. In general you can't say what part of speech an isolated word is; only when it's used in a sentence does this become clear.
No, must is not a pronoun. A pronoun is any word that can take the place of the noun in a sentence. Original sentence: Sally took the dog to her house. Sentence with pronouns: She took it there. She replaced Sally It replaced Dog There replaced house. It is usually a verb, though there are times when it is used as a noun -- but never a pronoun.

(the noun phrase 'my mother's homemade cookies' is the antecedent of the demonstrative pronoun 'these', even though the pronoun appears in the sentence before the antecedent)

In English, the pronoun "I" is always capitalized, regardless of its position in the sentence. This rule is a grammatical convention that helps distinguish the pronoun "I" from other words and emphasizes its importance in the sentence.
The correct form is "It was he at the door." Though correct, many people do not use this form in modern English, especially when spoken, because it sounds stilted and stuffy to them. One way to get around this is to use a slightly different form, saying "He was at the door." This form also confirms that he is the correct form of the pronoun to use, since it is generally easier to see that "Him was at the door" is incorrect.Another way to get around the "it was he" construction is to use a proper name or description instead of the pronoun. For example, "It was Harry at the door" or "It was the hitchhiker at the door."
No, the pronouns 'she' and 'I' are subject pronouns used as the object of the preposition 'between'.The first use of the subject pronoun 'she' is correct as the subject of the clause (I hope she will keep...) even though it follows the verb 'hope'.The correct sentence is, "I hope she will keep this between her and me." The pronouns 'her' and 'me' are object pronouns needed as the object of the preposition 'between'.Or, to simplify, "I hope she will keep this between us."The pronoun 'us' is the plural, object pronoun.
