Pronoun rules


Pronoun rules are the most vital sector for learning
English grammar. The pronoun is the replacement of the noun which represents a place,
person, or anything. There are a lot of pronoun examples such as her, his, he,
she, them, they, you, our, themselves, these, that, those, this, who, how, what,
where and so many. It provides the concept of nouns and short sentences.

Generally, pronouns rules are a wide range of grammar which
has eight categories. These categories are vital branches such as personal
pronouns, interrogative pronouns, relative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns,
reflexive pronouns, possessive pronouns, intensive pronouns,
and indefinite
pronouns
.
 

Firstly, Personal pronouns indicate those
kinds of pronouns which have related to a person like men and women. Personal
pronouns are the replacement of a person and their indication. There are lots of personal
pronouns examples such as they, she, he, it, I, etc.

One thing must note that personal pronouns have used
as object pronouns which reflects the objective. There are lots of object
pronouns such as our, her, mine, his, them, and us, etc.

Possessive
pronouns
are used in the expression and show possession.
There are many researchers said that possessive pronouns are the branch of
personal pronouns. It explains the number of people object and indicates the actual
role. There are lots of possessive pronouns examples such as ours, mines, his, hers,
theirs
etc.

Interrogative
pronouns
are very interesting and used for
asking any question of anyone. There are lots of Interrogative pronouns examples
such as what, which, who, whom, how etc. Who and whom is used for any person,
which indicates things and activities as well as animals.

 Demonstrative
pronouns
are reflected for any place, time, and quantity and replace nouns. We give some important Demonstrative pronouns examples such as that,
these, this, those,
etc.

Reflexive
pronouns
explain the main subject identification
and modify the personal pronouns to add self or selves at the end. There
are lots of Reflexive pronouns examples such as themselves, ourselves, himself,
myself, herself, yourselves,
etc.

Relative
pronouns
are used as agreement between two
sentences or clauses or phrases. Generally, these are used in complex sentences.
We provide a few relative pronouns example which most use such as that, whom,
who, which, whomever, whatever, whichever,
etc.

Indefinite
pronouns
reflect unspecific things, matters,
topics, and persons and are used as replacements for noun forms. You have to know about
indefinite pronouns examples to favor in the English language such as some,
somebody, nobody, one, none, everything, everybody, anyone, anything, another,
any, all, few, some, several, each,
etc.

Intensive
pronouns

which use a little bit. There are some Intensive pronouns examples to show as
themselves, myself, yourself, etc.
