A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun or a noun phrase in a sentence. A pronoun functions the same as a noun in a sentence, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The kinds of pronouns are:
Personal pronouns take the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.
They are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.
Example: The Fishers came to visit and theybrought the baby with them.
Demonstrative pronouns take the place of a noun, indicating near or far in place or time.
They are: this, that, these, those.
Example: I would like six of these and a two of those.
Possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
They are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
Example: The chicken is mine and the salmon is yours.
Possessive adjectives describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. A possessive adjective is placed just before the noun it describes.
They are: my, your, his, her, their, its.
Example: How is your salmon? My chicken is delicious.
Interrogative pronouns ask a question. The interrogative pronoun takes the place of a noun that is the answer to the question.
They are: who, whom, what, which, whose.
Example: What is the plan for tonight?
Reflexive pronouns are words that reflect back to the subject of the sentence or clause.
They are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
Example: Dad got up at six and made himselfsome breakfast.
Intensive pronouns are the reflexive pronouns used to emphasize by placing the pronoun immediately following the noun they refer to.
Example: Dad himself made the breakfast.
Reciprocal pronouns are used when each of two or more subjects is acting in the same way towards the other.
They are: each other, one another.
Example: We gave each other a gift on our mutual birthday.
Relative pronouns are pronouns that introduce a relative clause; a relative pronoun "relates" to the word that it modifies; the relative clause provides additional information about the antecedent without starting another sentence.
They are: who, whom, whose, which, that.
Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your questions.
Indefinite pronouns are used in place of nouns for people, things, or amounts that are unknown or unnamed.
They are: 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).
