Pronoun:
"A Pronoun is a Word that takes the place of a Noun."


Pronouns can do all of the things that Nouns can do.
They can be subjects, direct or indirect objects, object of the prepositions etc.

Examples:  He,  She,  It,  They,  We,  You,  Someone,  Who 


Types of Pronouns:

1. Personal Pronouns: I,  Me,  We,  Us,  You,  She,  Her,  He,  Him,  It,  They,  Them

2. Relative Pronouns: These Pronouns are words that introduce Adjective Clauses.

   As like: Who,  Whom,  Whose,  Which,  That

3. Demonstrative Pronouns: This,  That,  These,  Those

    Remember: You can use 'Demonstrative Pronouns' to point out the particular People or Things.

4. Indefinite Pronouns: Each,  Everything,  One,  Everyone,  Someone,  Anything,  Both,  Many,
                                 Several,  Few,  All,  Most,  None,  Some,  Much
  
   Remember: Indefinite Pronouns do not refer to a Definite or Specific Person or Thing.

5. Reflexive Pronouns & Intensive Pronouns: Reflexive Pronouns and Intensive Pronouns are kind of like   identical twins. They look the same, but they are actually different.

   'Reflexive Pronoun' is used to refer to the subject of the sentence.
   'Intensive Pronoun' is used to emphasize another noun.

   These two types of pronouns end in 'self' or 'selves'.

   Himself,  Herself,  Myself,  Itself,  Yourself,  Ourselves,  Yourselves,  Themselves

6. Interrogative Pronouns: What,  Whom,  Whose,  Who,  Which
  
   Remember: Interrogative Pronouns are often begin Interrogative Sentences.
  
   Example: Who stole the film from her Camera?

7. Possessive Pronouns: Show ownership.

   As like: His,  My,  Hers,  Your,  Theirs,  Mine,  Ours,  Its

   Remember: Possessive Pronouns are used before the nouns.
   They are actually being used as Adjectives, not Pronouns.

   Example: Our family has vacation next week. (used as adjective)

              That car is ours. (used as pronoun)
