    pronouns
     A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence.
    Pronouns are used to avoid repeating the same nouns over and
    over again. For example, "Jeremy ran so fast, you'd think his life
    was on the line." The pronoun "his" saved us from repeating the
    name of the person again.

     Common pronouns include I, me, mine, she, he, it, we, and us.
    In truth, there are many different types of pronouns, each
    serving a different purpose.
    Personal Pronouns

     Personal pronouns are used as a substitute for a person's name.

     There are two kinds: subjective and objective pronouns. That is, they either act
    as the subject of the sentence or the object of the sentence.
    As the subject of a sentence, they are:

     I
     you
     he
     she
     it
     we
     They

    For example:
     They went to the store.
     I don't want to leave.
    As the object of the sentence, they are:
     me
     you
     her
     him
     it
     us
     Them

    For example:
     Please don't sit beside me.
     Go talk to her.
    Possessive Pronouns
    Possessive pronouns show ownership or possession of a
    noun. They are:

     my
     our
     your
     his
     her
     its
     Their

    For example:
     Is that my book?
     No, that's his book.
    However, there are also independent possessive pronouns. These pronouns
    refer to a previously named or understood noun. They stand alone and
    aren't followed by any other noun. They are:
     mine
     ours
     yours
     his
     hers
     its
     theirs

    For example:
     That's mine.
     Wrong. It's ours.
    Indefinite Pronouns
    Indefinite pronouns don't point to particular nouns. We use them when an object doesn't
    need to be specifically identified. As such, it can remain indefinite. They include:

     few
     everyone
     all
     some
     anything
     Nobody

    For example:
     Most wealth is held by a select few.
     Everyone is here already.
    Relative Pronouns
    Relative pronouns are used to connect a clause or phrase to
    a noun or pronoun. We often see them when we need to add
    more information. They are:
     who
     whom
     which
     whoever
     whomever
     whichever
     that

    For example:
     The driver who ran the stop sign was careless.
     I don't know which pair of shoes you want.
    Intensive Pronouns
    Intensive pronouns emphasize, or intensify, nouns and pronouns.
    Typically, we find them right after the noun they're intensifying.
    These pronouns typically end in -self or -selves. They are:

     myself
     himself
     herself
     themselves
     itself
     yourself
     yourselves
     Ourselves

    For example:
     I myself like to travel.
     He himself is his worst critic.
    Demonstrative Pronouns
    Demonstrative pronouns take the place of a noun that's
    already been mentioned. They can be singular or plural.
    There are five of them. They include:

     these
     those
     this
     that
     such

    For example:
     These are ugly.
     Those are lovely.
    Interrogative Pronouns
    Interrogative pronouns do just what they say. They work
    in sentences that are posing a question. They are:
     who
     whom
     which
     what
     whoever
     whomever
     whichever
     Whatever

    For example:
     Who is going to arrive first?
     What are you bringing to the party?
    Reflexive Pronouns
     Reflexive pronouns are similar to intensive
    pronouns. The difference between the two is
    that intensive pronouns aren't essential to a
    sentence's meaning.
    They're used when the subject and the object of a
    sentence refer to the same person or thing. These
    pronouns end in -self or -selves. They are:

     myself
     yourself
     himself
     herself
     itself
     ourselves
     yourselves
     themselves

    For example:
     I told myself not to spend all my money on new shoes.
     You're going to have to drive yourself to the restaurant today.
