1. Mention the Kinds of Pronoun !
Make sentences for each kind !
Pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun, e.g. he,
she, it, they, his, her, him its etc.
There five types of pronoun
1. Personal Pronoun
Personal pronoun describes a particular person or thing or
group.personal pronoun describes the person speaking (I, me, we, us), the
person spoken to (you), or the person or thing spoken about (he, she, it, they,
him, her, them). Examples :
He helps poor. The pronoun “he” in above sentence describes
a person who helps poor.
(1). She is intelligent. (2) We love our country. (3)The teacher appreciated them.
2. Possessive Pronoun
Possessive Pronoun indicates close possession or ownership
or relationship of a thing/person to another thing/person. e.g. yours, mine,
his, hers, ours, theirs, hers. Example : This book is mine. The pronoun
“mine” describes the relationship between book and a person (me) who possesses
this book or who is the owner of this book.
Examples :
(1) That car is hers. (2)Your book is old. Mine is new.
(3)The pen on the table is mine.
Note: Possessive adjectives (my, her, your) may be confused
with possessive pronouns. Possessive adjective modifies noun in terms of
possession. Both possessive adjective and possessive show possession or
ownership, but possessive adjective is used (with noun) to modify the noun
while Possessive pronoun is used instead (in place of) a noun.
Examples:
This is my book. (Possessive adjective: “my” modifies the
noun “book”.
3. Reflixive Pronoun
Reflexive pronoun describes noun when subject’s action
affects the subject itself. e.g himself, yourself, herself, ourselves,
themselves, itself are reflexive
pronouns. Reflexive pronouns always act as objects not subjects, and they
require an interaction between the subject and an object.
Examples.
(1) I looked at myself in the mirror. (2) You should think
about yourself. (3)They prepared themselves for completion.
Note: Reflexive noun can also be used to give more emphasis
on subject or object. If a reflexive pronoun is used to give more emphasis on a
subject or an object, it is called “Intensive Pronoun”. Usage and function of
intensive pronoun are different from that of reflexive pronoun.
4. Relative Pronoun
Relative Pronoun describes a noun which is mentioned before
and more information is to be given about it Or Relative pronoun is a pronoun
which joins relative clauses and relative sentences.
For example, It is the person, who helped her. In this
sentence the word “who” is a relative pronoun which refers to the noun (the
person) which is already mentioned in beginning of sentence (It is the person)
and more information (he helped her) is given after using a relative pronoun
(who) for the noun (the person).
Similarly, in above sentence the pronoun “who” joins two
clauses which are “it is the person” and “who helped her”.
Examples. The most commonly used five relative pronouns are,
who, whom, whose, which, that.
“Who” is for subject and “whom” is used for object. “who”
and “whom” are used for people. “Whose” is used to show possession and can be
used for both people and things. “Which” is used for things. “That” is used for
people and things.
Examples.
(1). It is the girl who got first position in class.
(2). Adjective is a word that modifies
noun. (3). The man whom I met yesterday is a nice person.
5. Demonstrative Pronoun
Demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that points to a thing or
things. e.g. this, that, these, those, none, neither, These pronouns point to
thing or things in short distance/time or long distance/time. Short distance or
time: This, these. Long distance or
time: That, those.
Demonstrative pronouns “this and that” are used for singular
thing while “these or those” are used for plural things.
Examples
(1). This is black. (2). That is heavy. (3). Can you see
these?

There are three basic question types:
1. Yes/No: the answer is “yes or no”
2. Question-word: the answer is “information”

want, for example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who (person). Look
