Pronoun is one of the parts of speech in English grammar. Pronoun is a part of speech that is used instead of noun. It is used to reduce repeated use of noun in a conversation. Examples of pronouns are he, she, they, them, him, and it and so on. For example: Mary got a HCL kids laptop yesterday. She bought it for her niece. (Here, ‘she’ is used instead of using ‘Mary’ again.) There are six types of pronouns. Let’s have a look at each of them.
Personal Pronouns:
Personal pronouns are types of pronouns that are used as substitute for proper or common nouns. Examples of personal nouns are: I, we, our, he, she, mine, his, her, and they and their. For example: I bought a HCL kids’ laptop from online kids store few days back.
Demonstrative Pronouns:
Demonstrative pronouns are types of pronouns that are used to point out objects. Examples of demonstrative pronouns are: this, that, these, those and more. For example: That baby bottle is of Nuby bottles brand.
Indefinite Pronouns:
Indefinite pronouns are types of pronouns that are used to refer general things or people in general way without specifying anyone. Examples of indefinite pronouns are: nobody, somebody, everybody and more. For example: One can buy Nuby bottles for kids’ online stores as well.
Distributive Pronouns:
Distributive pronouns are types of pronouns that are used to refer two or more persons or things at the same time. Examples of distributive pronouns are: each, either, neither and so on. For example: She can buy either Himalaya baby soap or Johnson & Johnson’s baby soap for her baby.
Relative Pronouns:
Relative pronouns are types of pronouns that are used to relate a subordinate clause to the rest of the sentence. Examples of relative pronouns are: who, whose, whom, which and so on. For example: For whom are you buying this Himalaya baby soap ?
Interrogative Pronouns:
Interrogative pronouns are used for asking questions. Examples of interrogative pronouns are what, which, who, whose, whom and so on. For example: What Christmas gift do you want?
