A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

A pronoun performs the functions of a noun in a sentence.

The kinds of pronouns are:

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

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

example: You and I can bring them some lunch.

demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those.

A demonstrative pronoun takes the place of a noun, indicating near or far in place or time.

A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

example: The house on the corner is mine.

possessive adjectives: my, your, our, his, her, their, its.

A possessive adjective takes the place of a possessive noun and is placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

example: My house is on the corner.

interrogative pronouns: who, whom, what, which, whose.

An interrogative pronoun introduces a question. The antecedent of an interrogative pronoun is often the answer to the question.

reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

A reflexive pronoun is a word that 'reflects back' to its antecedent.

example: Dad got up and made himself some pancakes.

intensive pronouns are the same as the reflexive pronouns but used to emphasize its antecedent.

example: Dad made the pancakes himself.

reciprocal pronouns: each other, one another.

A reciprocal pronoun is used when each of two or more subjects is acting in the same way towards the other.

example: We share a birthday and give each other a party each year.

relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that.

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words with a subject and a verb that 'relates' information about its antecedent.

example: The man who lives next door has a beautiful garden.

indefinite pronouns: all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, enough, everybody, everyone, everything, few, fewer, less, little, many, more, most, much, neither, nobody, no one, nothing, none, one, other, others, several, some, somebody, someone, something, such, and they (people in general).
