7  Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:  number: singular (I) or plural ( we).  person: 1st person (I), 2nd person (you) or 3rd person(he).  gender: male (he), female (she) or neuter (it).  case: subject (we) or object (us).  EXAMPLES: - I like coffee. - John helped me. - Do you like coffee? - John loves you. -They played doubles. -John and Mary beat them.

9 REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS Reflexive pronouns are personal pronouns that have "- self" or "-selves" added to the end. EXAMPLES: Bob finished the homework himself. The criminal shot himself. The reflexive pronoun is "himself."

11 A demonstrative pronoun is used to single out one or more nouns referred to in the sentence. EXAMPLES: This, that, these, and those are demonstrative pronouns. These lemons are sour. The word "these" is a demonstrative pronoun.

13 All, any, most, none and some can be singular or plural, depending on the phrase that follows them. An indefinite pronoun does not refer to any specific person, thing or amount. It is vague and "not definite". Some typical indefinite pronouns are:

14 We use reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more subjects is acting in the same way towards the other.  There are only two reciprocal pronouns, and they are both two words: - each other - one another EXAMPLES: John and Mary love each other. The ten prisoners were all blaming one another. Why don't you believe each other?

16  A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies. There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that. Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. That can be used for people, and things and as subject and object in defining relative clauses. EXAMPLES: The car, whose driver jumped out just before the accident, was completely destroyed. The car which hit me was green.

17 Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership, but they never have an apostrophe. EXAMPLES: Ours, his, their, and her are possessive pronouns. Those are his pencils. The word "his" is a possessive pronoun.

18 Interrogative pronouns are used to ask a question. EXAMPLES: Who, whom, and which are interrogative pronouns. Which shoes are mine? The word "which" is an interrogative pronoun.
