What words are pronoun?

Answer 1

Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun in a sentence. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it, and pronouns help sentences flow more smoothly and make them easier to say.

The most common pronouns are the personal pronouns, words that take the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

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

Example: The Fishers came to visit and they brought the baby with them.

Other types of pronouns and their functions are:

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 himself some 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 words 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 whoassigned 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).

Example: Everyone has left the building but a few are still waiting to be picked-up.

Answer 2

Pronouns are words that take the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: The apples are locally grown. They look so good that I think I'll buy them. (the pronouns 'they' as the subject and 'them' as an object take the place of the noun 'apples' in the second sentence)
