The pronoun 'some' is an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for an unknown or unnamed number or quantity.
A pronoun functions as the noun it replaces, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Examples:
Some will have an advantage. (subject of the sentence)
This is a problem that some will experience. (subject of the relative clause)
We made popcorn. You can have some. (direct objectof the verb 'can have')
The test was difficult for some. (object of the preposition 'for')
The word 'some' is an adjective when placed before a noun to describe that noun: "Some students will have an advantage."
Yes. Example: "It was over almost as soon as it started." However, such a sentence requires some context from neighboring sentences to identify what "it" is.
"She will never agree to that" is a complete sentence, and does not contain a possessive pronoun. If the sentence said, "Her cousin will never agree to that," then the word 'her' would be a possessive pronoun.
The appropriate pronoun is 'he'. In the sentence the pronoun he, takes the place of the noun 'teacher' as the subject complement following the linking verb 'will be'. A pronoun functioning as a subject complement (predicate nominative) is always a nominative (subjective) form.
The subject pronoun identifies what a sentence is about. It is the pronoun that performs the action in the sentence or is described by the predicate.
"It can." In that sentence, the pronoun "it" is the simple subject.
The pronoun 'them' is the indirect object of the sentence.
Yes. Example: "It was over almost as soon as it started." However, such a sentence requires some context from neighboring sentences to identify what "it" is.
The choice of pronoun is governed by the rules of grammar. If you learn English, you will be able to choose the right pronoun.

Their is a possessive pronoun, the third person plural. The pronoun their can be use as the subject or the object of a sentence.
There can be several pronouns for corn. It depends upon its use in a sentence. The CORN (noun) is fresh. IT (pronoun) is fresh. Do you want to eat CORN (noun)? Do you want to eat SOME (pronoun)?
No, the pronoun 'himself' is a reflexive pronoun used to 'reflect back' to the subject in a sentence. Example: Dad made himself some breakfast. The pronoun 'himself' is also a intensive pronoun used to emphasize its noun antecedent. Example: Dad himself made breakfast. Even when the pronoun is the first word in a sentence, it is not the subject of the sentence. Example: Himself a cook, dad always makes breakfast. (reflexive use of the pronoun, the subject of the sentence is 'dad')
The correct interrogative pronoun is 'who' as the subject of the sentence. The interrogative pronoun 'whom' is the objective form. To use the objective form, the sentence should read:At whom did you laugh? (the pronoun 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'at')To use the pronoun 'who' as the subject:Who did you laugh at?
"She will never agree to that" is a complete sentence, and does not contain a possessive pronoun. If the sentence said, "Her cousin will never agree to that," then the word 'her' would be a possessive pronoun.
The appropriate pronoun is 'he'. In the sentence the pronoun he, takes the place of the noun 'teacher' as the subject complement following the linking verb 'will be'. A pronoun functioning as a subject complement (predicate nominative) is always a nominative (subjective) form.
Yes, "Bill and he" is the compound subject of the sentence. The pronoun "he" is a subjective personal pronoun.
