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.

Demonstrative pronouns take the place of a noun, indicating near or far in place or time.

They are: this, that, these, those.

Possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

They are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

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.

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.

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.

Intensive pronouns are the reflexive pronouns used to emphasize by placing the pronoun immediately following the noun they refer to.

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.

Relative pronouns are pronouns that introduce a relative clause; a relative pronoun "relates" to the word that it modifies, providing additional information about the antecedent without starting another sentence.

They are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

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).
