Pronouns
A pronoun is a word that takes place of a noun. A pronoun can function as a as a subject, object or complement in a sentence.


Examples: I, you, we, she, he, they, it



Antecedent
An antecedent is the word, phrase, or clause to which a pronoun refers.



Personal pronoun
Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:

* Number: singular(eg: I) or plural(eg: we)

* Person: 1st person(eg:I), 2nd person(eg: you), 3rd person (eg: he)

* Gender: male(eg: he), female(eg: she) or neuter(eg: it)

* Case: subject(eg: we) or object(eg: us)



Subjective Pronoun
A subjective pronoun acts as the subject of a sentence—it performs the action of the verb. The subjective pronouns are he, I, it, she, they, we, and you.
Example: He spends ages looking out the window.
After lunch, she and I went to the planetarium.



Objective Pronoun
An objective pronoun acts as the object of a sentence—it receives the action of the verb. The objective pronouns are her, him, it, me, them, us, and you.
Example: Cousin Eldred gave me a trombone.
Take a picture of him, not us!



Possessive Pronoun
A possessive pronoun tells you who owns something. The possessive pronouns are hers, his, its, mine, ours, theirs, and yours.
Example: The red basket is mine.
Yours is on the coffee table.



Interrogative Pronoun
An interrogative pronoun often stands for something that we are not aware of yet, because we are asking about it. We use these nouns specifically to ask a question. (whom, whose, who, what, and which)

Examples: What is your favorite color? Whose shirt is this? Who said that? For whom will vote?



Demonstrative Pronoun
A demonstrative pronoun represents a thing or things. They can be both singular and plural. ( this, that, these, those).

Examples: This tastes good. Have you seen these shirts? Those were bad times. That is a wonderful hat.



Indefinite Pronoun
Pronouns replace nouns within sentences

Example: “Alex went to the movies and Alex got popcorn and a soda” It’s much easier to read a sentence that says “Alex went to the movies and he got popcorn and a soda” The pronoun he replaces the noun Alex. Nashaly, Claraliz and Aitza are welcome to come to the birthday party tonight. “ All are welcome to come to the birthday party tonight.”
