PRONOUN
A word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers
either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you) or to someone or
something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this).

TYPES OF PRONOUN

1. PERSONAL PRONOUN
each of the pronouns in English (I, you, he, she, it,
we, they, me, him, her, us, and them) comprising a set that shows contrasts
of person, gender, number, and case.
2. REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
Pronoun that is preceded by the noun, adjective,
adverb or pronoun to which it refers
In general linguistics, a reflexive pronoun, sometimes simply called a reflexive, is
an anaphoric pronoun that must be coreferential with another nominal (its
antecedent) within the same clause. In the English language specifically, a
reflexive pronoun will end in -self or -selves, and refer to a previously named
noun or pronoun (myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, etc.).

3. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
Demonstrative pronouns are used to replace
nouns in a sentence. Some of the same words that can be used
as demonstrative pronouns, including this, that, these, those , and such,
can also be used as demonstrative 

4. INDEFINITE PRONOUN
 They are called “indefinite” simply because they do
not indicate the exact object, being, or place to which they refer. Indefinite
pronouns include partitives such as any, anybody, anyone, either, neither,
nobody, no, someone, and some; they also include universals such as every,
all, both, and each; finally,...

5. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN
 An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun which is
used to make asking questions easy. There are just five interrogative
pronouns . Each one is used to ask a very specific question or indirect
question. Some, such as “who” and “whom,” refer only to people .
6. Distributive pronoun
 A distributive pronoun is a pronoun that describes members of
a group separately and not collectively. It refers to a person or thing. So this
pronoun is always singular, and we use it with a singular noun and verb. We
use this pronoun to describe all the members of the particular group.

7. RECIPROCAL PRONOUN
 The word reciprocal itself gives the meaning of
reciprocity, and the reciprocal pronoun is a type of pronoun used to point
to two or more people who are the subjects of the same verb in a sentence.
This pronoun always performs as the verbs’ object, referring back to the
two or more people acting as subjects.

8 . RELATIVE PRONOUN
 A relative pronoun is a word that introduces a dependent
(or relative) clause and connects it to an independent clause. A clause
beginning with a relative pronoun is poised to answer questions such as
Which one? How many? or What kind? Who, whom, what, which, and that
are all relative pronouns.

PERSONS OF PRONOUN

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a

particular person, in the grammatical sense.

When discussing “person” in terms of the grammatical, the following rules

apply:
  First person, as in “I”
 Second person, as in “you”
 Third person, as in “It, he, she”

Personal pronouns may take on various forms depending on number

(singular or plural for the most part). They may also take different forms
depending on case, gender, or formality. It is important to note that
personal pronouns may refer to objects, animals, or people.
Personal pronouns provide us with the following information:

 The person – Who is speaking?

 The number – Is the pronoun plural or singular?
 The gender – Is the pronoun feminine, masculine, or neuter?

Examples of Personal Pronouns

The word “he” is an example of a personal pronoun. He is third person
(because he is the person being spoken about), singular, and masculine.
The word “we” is another example of a personal pronoun. We is first
person (because we are speaking as a group), plural, and neuter.
In the following examples, personal pronouns are italicized.

1. You need to stop lying to me.

2. We would love for you to join us.
3. Come look at my cat! He has climbed to the top of that tree.

Personal Pronouns as Subject Pronouns

When a personal pronoun takes the place of a noun as the subject of a
sentence, it is both a personal pronoun and a subject pronoun. What is a
subject pronoun? In essence, it’s any pronoun that is used to replace a
common or proper noun as a sentence’s subject.
If you are using a personal pronoun to talk about a person, animal, place,
or thing that also happens to be the subject of a sentence, then it is
classified as both a personal pronoun and a subject pronoun.

Personal Pronouns as Object Pronouns

When a personal pronoun is the direct or indirect object of a verb, or
when it is used as the object of a preposition, it is called an object
pronoun. What is an object pronoun? It’s any pronoun that is affected by
the action the subject of the sentence takes.
The personal pronouns that are used as object pronouns are different
than the personal pronouns that are used as subject pronouns, but they
are just as important. There are seven object pronouns that also happen
to be personal pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.

CASES OF PRONOUN

Subjective Pronouns

The subjective (or nominative) pronouns are I, you (singular), he/she/it, we,
you (plural), they and who. A subjective pronoun acts as a subject in a
sentence. See the sentences below for illustration:

I have a big chocolate bar.

You have some ice cream.

He has a cake.

We could have a party.

They could come, too.

Who should be invited?

Objective Pronouns

The objective (or accusative) case pronouns are me, you (singular), him/her/it,
us, you (plural), them and whom. (Notice that form of you and it does not
change.) The objective case is used when something is being done to (or
given to, etc.) someone. The sentences below show this use of the objective
case:

Give the chocolate to me , please.

Why should I give it to you ?

You could give it to him , instead.

Please share it with all of us .

Do we have to share it with them ?

Possessive Pronouns

There are two types of possessive pronouns. The first type is used with
nouns my, your (singular), his, her, your (plural), its, their, our. The other type
of pronouns are sometimes called independent possessive pronouns,
because they can stand alone. They are mine, yours (singular), his, hers,
ours, yours (plural) and theirs. The possessive pronouns show that something
(or someone) belongs to someone (or something).

That’s my shirt.

That shirt is mine.

The house is theirs.

It’s their house.

The dog is scratching its ear.
