Kinds of Pronoun

1. Personal Pronoun:-

                                                     those associated with a certain person, thing, or group; all except you have distinct forms that indicate singular or plural number  

                      

    2. Reflexive Pronoun:-

                                                    those preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which they refer, and ending in –self or –selves

example:- myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, oneself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

     

     3. Demonstrative Pronoun:-

                                                   those used to point to something specific within a sentence.
example:-Singular Pronoun{ this, that },Plural Pronoun { these, those }

That is my car.

Those are my mothers things.

These are some beautiful girls.

    4. Relative Pronoun:-

those which refer to nouns mentioned previously, acting to introduce an adjective (relative) clause example:- that, which, who, whose, whom, where, when


Who, whom, and whose relate to people (or pets if you refer to them by name). Which is used with objects. That is preferably used only with objects, but you will see it used with people. Try to get in the habit of using who with people instead of that. It is more polite.

Examples of Relative Pronouns

(that = roller coasters)

(which = ice cream)
