There are eight types of pronoun:
Personal Pronouns have two types Subject and Object they are used to stand in place of a noun.
Subject Pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, They, Who, Whoever,
Object Pronouns: Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them, Whom, Whomever,
They are also divided to express The Plural and The Singular of
The First Person: Singular I, me, Plural we, us
The Second Person: Singular and Plural you
The Third Person: Singular he, him, she, her, it, Plural they, them
This determines whether am / is / or are, is used and whether or not s or es, is added to end of the verb in the formation of past tenses.Reflexive Pronouns have one type and are used to refer backwards or inwards on the subject or object. Think of the word refection.Possessive pronouns have two types Possessive pronouns and Possessive determiners the difference being Possessive pronouns stand alone in a sentence e.g. Think of the word possession. It is mine. Possessive determiners always come before a noun e.g. It is my book

Demonstrative Pronouns help us to demonstrate something or point it out. When these words stand alone they are considered to be pronouns because they replace or stand in for a noun. When they are used before a noun they are considered to be determiners because the determine which noun we are referring to e,g, this ball or that. this, that, these, those, He is a teacher.

They can also be used in indirect questions that do not require a question mark. Think of the word interrogation meaning to question. who, whom, whose, what, which, He said “What is it your name?” (direct question) He asked the man’s name. (indirect question) Relative Pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses that come after a noun or noun phrase. e.g. He is the man that came in yesterday. Look at the boy with the blue hat. Relative pronouns act rather like conjunctions and join two parts of a sentence together to give more information about the noun subject or object i.e. The clause is related to the noun.that, which, who, whom, whose, what, whatever whomever There are only two Reciprocal Pronouns: One another (more than two or in general) and each other (between two people or things). They are called such as they are used to demonstrate a reciprocal relation between people or things. The two boys played with each other. We should love one another.
