PRONOUNS
There are several different types of pronouns. Some are listed and defined below.
Personal pronouns name people or things and are either subjective or objective .
Possessive pronouns show ownership. His, hers, ours, mine, yours, and theirs are examples. They act like adjectives showing whom owns or has the item.
Demonstrative pronouns are the Vanna White of the pronoun world. They point to and identify a noun. There are only four that, this, these, and those.
Other types of pronouns include interrogative pronouns (like who and what), relative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and intensive pronouns.
The type of pronoun is determined by how it is being used in the sentence.
