What is pronoun ? Write kinds of pronoun with defination.

Dear Adrash,
Here is the answer:

Pronouns are words which are used as a substitute of noun. It helps to avoid recurrence or repetition of nouns in a sentence or a paragraph.

Various pronouns frequently used are I, You, He, She, It, We and They.

 

Here is an example of how you can use a pronoun instead of a noun. Kush went to the market. Kush bought two pens. (Here “Kush” is noun.) Kush went to the market. He bought two pens. (Here we used “he” (pronoun) in the second sentence, instead of the proper noun “Kush”.)


  ​

There are various types of pronouns namely:

• Demonstrative Pronouns that are used to demonstrate or indicate. This, that, these, those are known as demonstrative pronouns.

• Indefinite Pronouns are those which point out non-specific items. These are the largest group of pronouns. All, some, anybody, nobody etc are examples of indefinite pronouns.

• Interrogative Pronouns which are used in questions and are used to replace nouns. Examples are who, which, what, where and how.

• Possessive Pronouns are used to express possession. They are also used as adjectives. For instance, my, your, his, her, its, our and their.

• Relative Pronouns are used to add more information to a sentence. Examples are which, when, who (whom, whose) and where.

• Absolute possessive pronouns also show possession. However, unlike possessive pronouns, they are not dependant on nouns and stand by themselves. Instances of the same are mine, yours, his, hers, ours and theirs.

• Reciprocal Pronouns are used for actions or feelings that are reciprocated. The two most common reciprocal pronouns are one another and each other.

• Reflexive Pronouns refer to another noun or pronoun in a sentence. They end with -self or -selves. Examples of the same are: myself, yourself, himself, ourselves, etc.

• Personal pronouns are pronouns that are associated primarily with a particular grammatical person – first person (as I), second person (as you), or third person (as he, she, it). Personal pronouns may also take different forms depending on number (usually singular or plural), grammatical or natural gender, case and formality.
• A subjective pronoun acts as the subject of the sentence - it performs the action of the verb. Subjective pronouns are I, he, she ,it, they, we , you.For example - After having lunch, she and I went to the market.
• An objective pronoun acts as the object of the sentence - it receives the action of the verb. Objective pronouns are him, her, them, it, me us. For example- My mother gave me a toy
