What is Pronoun?
a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and
that refers either to the participants in the discourse
(e.g., I , you ) or to someone or something mentioned
elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she , it , this ).

Demonstrative Pronoun
The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these,
and those. They are used to demonstrate or point
out specific things.
A demonstrative pronoun represents a thing or
things:
near in distance or time (this, these)
far in distance or time (that, those)
This and that refer to singular nouns;
whereas, these and those refer to plural nouns.
Ex: 1. This is the one I left in the car.
(In this example, the speaker could be
indicating to a mobile phone, in which case,
the pronoun this replaces the words mobile
phone.)
2. Shall I take those?
(the speaker could be indicating to some
candy, or a candy that far away from the
speaker)

The main interrogative pronouns are: who, whom,

which, and what. (Whoever, whomever, whichever,
whatever, and whose can also be interrogative
pronouns.)
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions.
(The interrogative pronoun represents the thing that
the question is about.)
Example:
1. Who won the race?
2. Which is the greater?
3. Which feat is the greater? (This is not an

interrogative pronoun. It is an
interrogative adjective it modifies "feat".)

Note: Possessive adjectives (my, her, your) may be

confused with possessive pronouns. Possessive
adjective modifies noun in terms of possession. Both
possessive adjective and possessive show possession
or ownership, but possessive adjective is used (with
noun) to modify the noun while Possessive pronoun is
used instead (in place of) a noun.
Examples.
This is my book. (Possessive adjective: my modifies
the noun book)
This book is mine. (Possessive pronoun: mine is
used instead of noun to whom the book belongs)

emphasis on subject or object. If a reflexive
pronoun is used to give more emphasis on a subject
or an object, it is called Intensive Pronoun.

different from that of reflexive pronoun.
For example, she herself started to think
about herself.
In the above sentence the first herself is used as
intensive pronoun while the second herself is used
as reflexive pronoun.

Personal pronouns are the words I, you, he, she, it,

we, they and who. When a personal pronoun is the
subject of a verb (e.g., I went to the park), it is said
to be in the subjective form. (All the ones above are
in the subjective form.) However, when a personal
pronoun is not the subject of a verb (e.g., Pass it to
me.), it is in the objective form (i.e., me, you, him,
her, it, us, them and whom).

A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject
of the sentence.
The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she," "he," "it," "we," "you," "they."
In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is a subjective personal
pronoun
and acts as the subject of the sentence:
I was glad to find the bus pass in the bottom of the green knapsack.
You are surely the strangest child I have ever met.
He stole the selkie's skin and forced her to live with him.

Objective Personal Pronoun

An objective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as an object of a verb
, compound verb, preposition, or infinitive phrase. The objective personal pronouns are:
"me," "you," "her," "him," "it," "us," "you," and "them."
In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is an objective personal pronoun:
* Seamus stole the selkie's skin and forced her to live with him.
The objective personal pronoun "her" is the direct object of the verb "forced" and the
objective personal pronoun "him" is the object of the preposition "with."
* After reading the pamphlet, Judy threw it into the garbage can.
The pronoun "it" is the direct object of the verb "threw."
The agitated assistant stood up and faced the angry delegates and said, "Our leader will
address you in five minutes."
In this sentence, the pronoun "you" is the direct object of the verb "address."
*Deborah and Roberta will meet us at the newest caf in the market.
Here the objective personal pronoun "us" is the direct object of the compound verb "will
meet."

Possessive Personal Pronoun

A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as a marker of
possession and defines who owns a particular object or person. The possessive
personal pronouns are "mine," "yours," "hers," "his," "its," "ours," and "theirs."
Note that possessive personal pronouns are very similar to possessive adjectives
like "my," "her," and "their."
In each of the following sentences, the highlighted word is a possessive
personal pronoun:
* The smallest gift is mine.
Here the possessive pronoun "mine" functions as a subject complement.
*This is yours.
