Pronoun And Its Kinds
In this article, we will discuss Pronoun and their different kinds. A pronoun is a
word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns refer to either a
noun that has already been mentioned or to a noun that does not need to be
named specifically.

Image: Types of pronouns
There are ten kinds of pronouns. They are

1. Relative Pronouns: Pronouns that relate one component of the phrase to
another are known as relative pronouns. The relative pronouns that, which,
where, when, why, what, whom, and whose are a few examples.
Example:
• Sheena, who is a dancer, now also teaches at a University.
• My bike, which I lost last month was found in an old garage
• The youngster who earned the reward is shown here.
2. Possessive Pronouns: Pronouns that indicate possession are known as

possessive pronouns. The possessive pronouns mine, yours, his, her, theirs, and
its are a few instances.
Example:
• Why did you take my dress?
• This is your car.

3. Reflexive Pronouns: Pronouns that relate back to the sentence's subject are
known as reflexive pronouns. Myself, yourself, herself, himself, oneself, itself,
ourselves, themselves, and yourselves are a few examples of reflexive
pronouns. Self or selves is used with the pronoun in this form as a suffix.
Read the sentences that follow.
• I blame myself for my failure.
• In our sleep, we frequently chat to ourselves.
The pronouns I, we, you, yourself, he, she, they, and themselves behave like
verbs' objects, but they refer to the same people as the verbs' subjects. They are
therefore known as reflexive pronouns.
4. Demonstrative Pronouns: Demonstrative pronouns are those that are

employed to point at the things they are referring to. Pronouns that point to
particular things are referred to as demonstrative pronouns. The demonstrative
pronouns this, that, these, and those are a few instances.
Examples:
• These oranges are rotten.
• Those buildings are new.
• This is my bottle.
• That is your phone.
The words this, these, that, and those are used to identify the object or objects in
the aforementioned statements. That and those allude to items lying far away,
while this and these refer to things nearby. They are, therefore, called
Demonstrative Pronouns.
5. Interrogative Pronouns: Pronouns that ask questions are called

interrogative pronouns. Interrogative pronouns include who, what, when, why,
and where are a few examples. The pronouns known as interrogative pronouns
are used to ask questions about people or objects.
Examples:
• Who was the noisemaker?

• What is the problem?

The pronouns who, whom, and whose are used when referring to people. The
pronoun is used to inquire about individuals or objects.
6. Indefinite Pronouns: Pronouns that are indefinite do not specifically refer to

any one person, place, or thing. Someone, someone, someplace, something,
anyone, anyone, anywhere, anything, no one, nobody, nowhere, everyone,
everybody, everywhere, everything, each, none, few, and many are a few
examples of indefinite pronouns.
Example:
• Only a few people came to the show.
• Is there anyone who still needs to register?
• I did not see her anywhere.
•
7. Personal Pronouns: Pronouns that are used in place of people, animals, or

things are known as personal or possessive pronouns. These are of three types
representing the first person, second person, and third person.
• Pronouns of the First Person are those that allude to the speaker or
speakers; examples are I, we, me, us, mine, and ours.
• Pronouns of the Second Person, like you and yours, are those that allude
to the person or people being talked to.
• He, she, him, his, her, hers, they, them, theirs, and it are examples of
third-person pronouns that refer to the subject of the sentence.
Example:
• It is not sufficient for them.
• Will they buy a gift for her?
Simple pronouns called personal pronouns are used to replace proper names. I,
you, he, she, we, and they are some examples of personal pronouns, as are him,
her, he, she, us, and them.

8. Subject Pronouns: The action of a sentence is carried out by subject

pronouns. The subject pronouns I, you, we, he, she, it, they, and one are a few
examples.
Example:
• I am fond of her.
• He is very kind.
• You are being rude.
9. Object Pronouns: Pronouns that receive the action in a sentence are called
object pronouns. The object pronouns me, us, him, she, and them are a few
instances.
Example:
• Please allow them to come in.
• After the movie, she decided to go to the beach
10. Reciprocal Pronouns: Pronouns that express a reciprocal relationship are

referred to as reciprocal pronouns. Both each other and one another are
reciprocal pronoun examples.
Example:
• The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed hysterically.
• The siblings are kind to each other.
• They recited the speech to one another.
Point to Remember:
Note: Emphatic Pronoun and Reflexive Pronouns look identical but Emphatic
Pronouns are used directly after the subject while Reflexive Pronouns are
used in place of the object.

Summary
In this chapter, we learned the pronouns which is a word or phrase that stands in
for a noun or noun phrase. Since pronouns are compact words that can serve all
of the purposes of nouns, they are one of the fundamental building blocks of
sentences. In order for us to speak with one another, pronouns are necessary.
However, pronoun communication is really important. Next time, think twice
before assuming that someone is referring to someone by their pronouns
because we use pronouns to identify or refer to them.
