    example, instead of saying "Sara went to the market because Sara needed groceries," we can say,
    "Sara went to the market because she needed groceries." Here, "she" is a pronoun replacing
    "Sara."

    o Usage: "This book is mine."
    3. Reflexive Pronouns: These refer back to the subject of the sentence.
    o Examples: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves,
    themselves.
    o Usage: "She made the cake herself."
    4. Demonstrative Pronouns: These point to specific things.
