Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative Pronouns highlight specific persons, places, things, or ideas. Examples: this, that, these, those The cats are all cute but those cats are really cute. I like working on this grammar assignment better than that last one. You can have this snack with your milk. Will you take those to the office?

Indefinite pronouns An indefinite pronoun does not refer to a specific person, place, or thing, and it does not usually have an antecedent. Your books lists many. Examples: another, anybody, nobody, no one, nothing, someone, neither, each, everything, something, etc. (Singular) Examples: both, few, many, several (Plural) How does the word “few” function in the sentences below? Few of my friends will be there. Few people like to clean bathrooms. Will somebody give an answer? Can I have another?

Interrogative and Relative pronouns
An interrogative pronoun is used to ask a question. Examples: Which book do you like best? Who won the football game? What will we do for homework? A relative pronoun is used to introduce a subordinate clause. (a group of words with a subject and a verb that cannot stand alone) Whenever she writes, her teacher is happy. Whatever my mom cooks, it is always delicious. subordinate clause independent clause relative pronoun
