2. Generally pronouns stand for or refer to a noun, an individual(s) or thing(s) (the pronoun's antecedent) whose identity is made clear earlier in the text. Not all pronouns will refer to an antecedent The problem of agreement between a pronoun and its antecedent and between a pronoun and its verb is the Pronoun- Antecedent Agreement.

4.  Personal pronouns (which stand for persons or things) change form according to their various uses within a sentence.  Singular: He, She, It, Me, You, I, My  Plural: We, They, You, Us, Them  Example: We students at NRHS work hard

5.  Demonstratives can behave either as pronouns or as determiners.  Singular: This, That, Such  Plural: These, Those  Example: This class is fun.

6.  Relative pronouns relate groups of words to nouns or other pronouns.  Do NOT introduce a question  Who, Whichever, Which, What, Whoever, Whatever, Whomever  I seem to say whatever is on my mind.

7.  Indefinite pronouns do not substitute for specific nouns but are nouns themselves.  Some, Any, Anybody, Somebody, Everybody, All, Each, Many, Several etc.,  Example: More sugar than that is needed to make a cake.

8.  Intensive pronouns consist of a personal pronoun plus -self or -selves and emphasize a noun.  Singular: Myself, Itself, Herself, Himself  Plural: Themselves, Yourselves, Ourselves  Example: I decided to make the cake myself.

9.  Reflexive pronouns (which have the same forms as the intensive pronouns) indicate that the sentence subject also receives the action of the verb.  Singular: Myself, Itself, Herself, Himself  Plural: Themselves, Yourselves, Ourselves  Example: Students who cheat are only hurting themselves.

10.  Interrogative pronouns introduce questions.  Who, Which, What,  Example: What is that?

11.  Reciprocal pronouns are each other and one another. They are forms for connecting ideas.  Example: We borrowed each other’s information.
