Topic 3: Pronouns

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in a sentence, helping to avoid repetition and simplify sentences. There are several types of pronouns:




1. Personal Pronouns: Refer to specific people or things. They change form based on their role in the sentence (subject, object, possessive). Examples:
   - Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we,they
   - Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
   - Possessive: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

2. Reflexive Pronouns: Refer back to the subject of the sentence (e.g., myself, yourself, himself).

3. Demonstrative Pronouns: Point to specific things (e.g., this, that, these, those).

4.  Interrogative Pronouns: Used to ask questions (e.g., who, whom, what, which).

5. Relative Pronouns: Introduce relative clauses and link parts of a sentence (e.g., who, whom, which, that).

6. Indefinite Pronouns: Refer to non-specific people or things (e.g., someone, anything, everyone).

7. Reciprocal Pronouns: Show mutual action or relationship (e.g., each other, one another).
