In this lesson you will learn about what pronouns are. You ready? let's get started
What is pronouns?
A pronoun is a word that acts as a substitute for a noun, frequently to eliminate the need to repeatedly use the same noun. Pronouns, like nouns, can be used to refer to individuals, objects, ideas, and places. At least one noun or pronoun appears in most sentences.
Let's go on with the Types of Pronouns:
Personal pronouns.
-A personal pronoun is a brief word we employ as an easy replacement for a person's given name. We can see the grammatical person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces using any of the personal pronouns in English.
Personal pronouns include:
I, you, He, She, It, We, They, Me, Him, Her, Us, and They.
Possessive pronouns.
-A possessive pronoun is one that is used to show ownership.There are a bunch of different possessive pronouns that you can use, which can be either singular or plural if they are referring to one person or multiple people.
Examples of posssessive pronouns are:
Mine, ours, yours, his, her, theirs, and whose are the possessive pronouns in English.
Take note:
Some might confuse personal and possessive based on how simple they sound, do notice that possessive usually means
owning something.
Relative pronouns.
-A relative pronoun is a word that introduces and links an independent clause to a dependent (or relative) clause. Questions that uses Which one? How many? or What kind? Who, whom, what, which, and that are all relative pronouns.
Reflexive pronouns.
-Words like myself, you, him, her, it, ourselves, ourselves, and yourselves are examples of reflexive pronouns. Words like myself, you, him, her, it, ourselves, ourselves, and yourselves are examples of reflexive pronouns. They refer back to someone or something. When the subject and the object of a verb are the same, reflexive pronouns are commonly used.
Take Note:
A reflexive pronoun and an intensive pronoun are nearly identical, although they have different purposes. Intense pronouns are employed to emphasize the sentence's subject or antecedent. The intensive pronoun is typically found immediately following the noun or pronoun it modifies, however this is not always the case.
Intensive pronouns.
-I, you, him, her, it, ourselves, yourself, and themselves are examples of the intensive/reflexive pronouns. A pronoun that ends in "self" or "selves" and emphasizes its antecedent is known as an intense pronoun.
Indefinite pronouns.
-Indefinite pronouns does not specifically refer to any one person or thing. Such as anybody, everyone, or anything; they do not exactly refer to any specific subject.
Demonstrative pronouns.
-A word that acts as a noun substitute is known as a demonstrative pronoun. Words are employed to specifically identify something or someone (such as "this is my sister"). This, that, these, and those are the demonstrative pronouns in English.
Interrogative pronouns.
-Who, whom, whose, what, and which are the five interrogative pronouns that are most frequently employed. The phrases whoever, whomever, whosever, whatever, and whichever are also used in longer, less common versions. These variations can be used as interrogative pronouns to emphasize a point or convey surprise.
