    Pronouns can replace nouns and pronouns to avoid repetition. There are several types of pronouns including personal, demonstrative, interrogative, indefinite, relative, reflexive, and intensive. Personal pronouns refer to specific people or things and change form based on person, number, gender, and case. They can be subjective, objective, or possessive depending on their use in a sentence. Demonstrative pronouns point to and identify nouns, while interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. Relative pronouns link phrases and clauses, and intensive pronouns emphasize their antecedents.

    A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun.

    You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make
    your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.

    Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the
    interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive
    pronoun.

    Personal Pronouns

    A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender,
    and case.

    Subjective Personal Pronouns

    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.
    When she was a young woman, she earned her living as a coal miner.
    After many years, they returned to their homeland.
    We will meet at the library at 3:30 p.m.
    It is on the counter.
    Are you the delegates from Malagawatch?

    Objective Personal Pronouns

    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:

    Possessive Personal Pronouns

    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.

    Demonstrative Pronouns
    A demonstrative pronoun points to and identifies a noun or a pronoun. "This" and "these" refer to things that are
    nearby either in space or in time, while "that" and "those" refer to things that are farther away in space or time.

    The demonstrative pronouns are "this," "that," "these," and "those." "This" and "that" are used to refer to singular
    nouns or noun phrases and "these" and "those" are used to refer to plural nouns and noun phrases. Note that the
    demonstrative pronouns are identical to demonstrative adjectives, though, obviously, you use them differently. It is
    also important to note that "that" can also be used as a relative pronoun.

    Interrogative Pronouns

    An interrogative pronoun is used to ask questions. The interrogative pronouns are "who," "whom," "which,"
    "what" and the compounds formed with the suffix "ever" ("whoever," "whomever," "whichever," and "whatever").
    Note that either "which" or "what" can also be used as an interrogative adjective, and that "who," "whom," or
    "which" can also be used as a relative pronoun.

    You will find "who," "whom," and occasionally "which" used to refer to people, and "which" and "what" used to
    refer to things and to animals.

    "Who" acts as the subject of a verb, while "whom" acts as the object of a verb, preposition, or a verbal.

    Relative Pronouns

    You can use a relative pronoun is used to link one phrase or clause to another phrase or clause. The relative
    pronouns are "who," "whom," "that," and "which." The compounds "whoever," "whomever," and "whichever" are
    also relative pronouns.

    You can use the relative pronouns "who" and "whoever" to refer to the subject of a clause or sentence, and "whom"
    and "whomever" to refer to the objects of a verb, a verbal or a preposition.

    In each of the following sentences, the highlighted word is a relative pronoun.

    Intensive Pronouns

    An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used to emphasise its antecedent. Intensive pronouns are identical in form to
    reflexive pronouns.

    The highlighted words in the following sentences are intensive pronouns:

    I myself believe that aliens should abduct my sister.


    The Prime Minister himself said that he would lower taxes.
    They themselves promised to come to the party even though they had a final exam at the same time.
