PRONOUNS
Personal Pronoun
“A pronoun is a word used instead of a Noun”.
(I, we, you, he, she, it, they) are called personal pronouns because they
stand for the three persons.

Example: She is at work.
‘She’ is main subject of the sentence, hence in the sentence, ‘She’ is the
subjective personal pronoun.
Gender
Number
Singular Pronoun – where the pronoun is only referring to one specific Noun.
Example: That book belongs to me.
REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
“They are object pronouns that we use when the subject and the object are the
same Noun.”
“Reflexive pronouns are those which are used to indicate a noun which has been
used in an earlier part of the same sentence.
(myself, themselves, yourself, ourselves, herself, himself, itself.)

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
I like this.
(This – demonstrative pronoun)
INDEFINITE PRONOUN
“These pronouns do stand for some person or thing, but we don’t know for exactly
whom.”
(We don’t know to whom the word ‘somebody’ refers to. The word ‘somebody’ is
an indefinite pronoun.
DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUN
Each, either, neither are called distributive pronouns because they refer to
persons or things, one at a time.
Each →used to denote every one of a number of persons or things taken singly.
Either and Neither should be used only in speaking of two persons or things.
When more than two are spoken of (Any, No one, and none) should be used.
RECIPROCAL PRONOUN
RELATIVE PRONOUN
Example: The driver who Ran the stop sign was careless.
Who and whom are used for people and whose is used to show possession.
Example: she will choose the color which looks good on everyone
