A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. It helps to avoid repetition and makes the sentence flow better. Here are the different types of pronouns:

 

1. Personal pronouns: These pronouns refer to specific people or things and the relationship they have with the speaker (first person), the person spoken to (second person), or the person or thing spoken about (third person). Examples include:

 

- First person: I, me, we, us

- Second person: you

- Third person: he, him, she, her, it, they, them

 

2. Reflexive pronouns: These pronouns reflect back to the subject of the sentence. They always end in '-self' or '-selves'. Examples include: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves.

 

- Example: I hurt myself while playing football.

 

3. Demonstrative pronouns: These pronouns point to specific people or things. Examples include: this, that, these, those.

 

- Example: This is my book.

 

4. Relative pronouns: These pronouns introduce a subordinate clause in a sentence and relate to the noun or pronoun preceding them. Examples include: who, whom, whose, which, that.

 

- Example: The book that you gave me is interesting.

 

5. Interrogative pronouns: These pronouns are used to ask questions. Examples include: who, whom, whose, which, what.

 

- Example: Who is coming to the party?

 

6. Indefinite pronouns: These pronouns refer to nonspecific people or things. Examples include: anyone, someone, nobody, everybody, anything, something, nothing, each, either, neither, many, few, some, all, most.

 

- Example: Nobody knows what happened to the missing cat.               💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
