PRONOUNS
A Pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. For example
• Ruchi is a gentle girl. She does not quarrle with anyone. She is ready to help everyone. All the teachers love her.
• Pankaj is a lovely boy. He is always smiling. His neighbors love him very much.
• In the first example given above. the words She and Her stand for Ruchi. In the next example, the word He, His and Him stand for Pankaj. The words Ruchi and Pankaj are nouns and the words she, her, he, his and him are pronouns.
Note:
• Pronouns are used to avoid the repetition of nouns.
• The noun for which a pronoun stands is called its antecedent. In the example given above Ruch (noun) is the antecedent of the pronouns she and her.

Kinds of Pronouns

There are seven kinds of pronouns:
1. Personal Pronoun
2. Demonstrative Pronoun
3. Interrogative Pronoun
4. Reflexive Pronoun
5. Emphasising Pronoun

7. Relative Pronoun

1. Personal Pronoun: stands for persons or things. For example:
(a) I am intelligent
(b) We are brave.
(c) You are healthy
(d) They are young

He/She/Vinay/Veena is simple
In the above sentences, all the italicized words are personal pronouns because they stand for three persons:
• the person speaking (First Person)
• the person spoken to (Second Person)
• the person spoken of (Third Person)

The pronouns I and we denote the person or persons speaking. So they are said to be personal pronouns of the First Person.
The pronoun you denotes the person or person spoken to. So, they are said to be personal pronouns of the Second Person.
Note: „You‟ is used both in singular and plural. The pronouns they/he/she/Vinay/Veena denote the person or persons spoken of. So, they are said to be personal pronouns of Third Person.
The various forms of personal pronouns are given below:

you, yours

(a) This is a temple.
(b) These are buildings.
(c) That is a hill.
(d) Those are hills.
Note:- The words this, that, these, those, etc. are adjectives when used with a noun, but pronouns when used for a noun; as This pen is mine. (This stands for the noun pen, hence, it is a pronoun, i.e. demonstrative pronoun)

3. Interrogative Pronoun: It is used for asking questions. For example:
(a) What is your name?
(b) Who came just now?
(c) Which is your bag?
Note:- The words what and which can be used both as an interrogative pronoun and an interrogative adjective; as
What is your idea?         (Interrogative Pronoun)
What idea did you give? (Interrogative Adjective)

5. Emphasising Pronoun: It is used to convey emphasis. For example:
(a) He himself came to me.

1. Personal Pronoun: stands for persons or things. For example:
(a) I am intelligent
(b) We are brave.
(c) You are healthy
(d) They are young

He/She/Vinay/Veena is simple
In the above sentences, all the italicized words are personal pronouns because they stand for three persons:
• the person speaking (First Person)
• the person spoken to (Second Person)
• the person spoken of (Third Person)

The pronouns I and we denote the person or persons speaking. So they are said to be personal pronouns of the First Person.
The pronoun you denotes the person or person spoken to. So, they are said to be personal pronouns of the Second Person.
Note: „You‟ is used both in singular and plural. The pronouns they/he/she/Vinay/Veena denote the person or persons spoken of. So, they are said to be personal pronouns of Third Person.
The various forms of personal pronouns are given below:-

Note:- The words this, that, these, those, etc. are adjectives when used with a noun, but pronouns when used for a noun; as This pen is mine. (This stands for the noun pen, hence, it is a pronoun, i.e. demonstrative pronoun)

3. Interrogative Pronoun: It is used for asking questions. For example:

(a) What is your name?

(b) Who came just now?

(c) Which is your bag?

Note:- The words what and which can be used both as an interrogative pronoun and an interrogative adjective; as

What is your idea? (Interrogative Pronoun)

What idea did you give? (Interrogative Adjective)

4. Reflexive Pronoun: Pronouns like myself, yourself, ourselves, when used as the receiver of an action are called Reflexive Pronouns. For example:

(a) I hurt myself.

(b) He praised himself.

(d) We blamed ourselves.

5. Emphasising Pronoun: It is used to convey emphasis. For example:

6. Possessive Pronoun: It shows possession. For example:

(a) These dresses are mine.

(b) That pen is yours.

(c) That building is mine.

(d) These furniture are mine.
