    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
    6. Possessive 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:-
    Person Singular Plural

    First Person I, me, mine we, us, ours (used for both
    masculine and feminine)

    Second Person you, yours you, yours (used for both


    masculine and feminine)

    Third Person he, him his (masculine) they, them, theirs (used
    she her, hers (feminine) she for masculine, feminine
    it (neuter) and neuter genders)

    2. Demonstrative Pronouns are used to point out the object/objects to


    which they refer. For example:
    (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)

    follow. For example
