What are pronouns?

Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition. They can refer to people, animals, things, or ideas. Some common pronouns include he, she, it, they, we, and you. Pronouns help make sentences clearer and more concise.

Pronouns are words that replace nouns or noun phrases. They are used to refer to people, places, things, or ideas without having to repeat the noun or noun phrase every time.

Types of Pronouns:

- Personal pronouns: Refer to specific people or things (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they)
- Demonstrative pronouns: Point out specific nouns or noun phrases (e.g., this, that, these, those)
- Interrogative pronouns: Ask questions about nouns or noun phrases (e.g., who, what, which)
- Relative pronouns: Introduce dependent clauses and refer back to a noun or noun phrase in the main clause (e.g., who, whom, whose, that, which)
- Reflexive pronouns: End in "-self" or "-selves" and refer back to the subject of the sentence (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself)
- Intensive pronouns: Emphasize a noun or noun phrase and typically end in "-self" or "-selves" (e.g., myself, yourself, himself)
- Indefinite pronouns: Refer to nonspecific people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., someone, anyone, something, everything)
- Reciprocal pronouns: Express a mutual action or relationship (e.g., each other, one another)

Pronoun Case:

Pronouns have different forms depending on their grammatical case:

- Nominative case: Subject of a sentence (e.g., I, he, they)
- Objective case: Object of a verb or preposition (e.g., me, him, them)
- Possessive case: Indicates ownership or possession (e.g., my, his, their)

Pronoun Agreement:

Pronouns must agree with the nouns or noun phrases they replace in terms of number, gender, and person.
