PRONOUNS in English

There are several types of pronouns. Among them are personal, possessive, demonstrative, indefinite, reflexive and relative pronouns.

Personal pronouns stand in for nouns and noun phrases, and usually refer back in a text or conversation to them.

E.g.

• Jane is going to watch the parade tomorrow. She plans to leave at 4 pm.

• We are collecting old photographs for our project. They should still be in good condition.

Personal pronouns may be categorised as follows:

He refers to a male.

She refers to a female.

It refers to a thing or animal.
