Grammar Spot • Pronouns – kinds

Pronouns

We know that a pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. He, she, it, they, me, I and
you are some commonly used pronouns.

Kinds of Pronouns

1. Personal Pronouns: I, we, you, he, she, it, they and so on
These are used as subjects in sentences because they refer to persons and things we

talk about.

Examples: 1. She has a pet cat. 2. They are at Grand Pet Show.
Me, us, him, her, them, you and so on

The above mentioned pronouns are used as objects in sentences as they receive the
result of actions caused by the subjects in sentences.

Examples: 1. Manohar told us about Tiger.
2. The judge spoke to the participants and thanked them.

2. Possessive Pronouns: Mine, ours, yours, theirs, hers, his and so on

These are used to show possession.

Examples: 1. The pet owners were in the ground. All the pets were theirs.
2. The diary in the drawer is mine.

3. Demonstrative Pronouns: This, that, these, those

These are used in place of nouns.
Examples: 1. This is a cute pet cat.

2. That is the stage.

3. These are pet owners with pets.

4. Those are judges on the stage.
