The term 'pronoun' covers many words, some of which do not fall easily
under the description given in the section What are Pronouns? There are
many different kinds of pronouns. In general, these do not cause difficulties
for native English speakers. The list below is mainly for reference purposes.
Demonstrative Pronouns
These pronouns are used to demonstrate (or indicate). This, that, these
and those are all demonstrative pronouns.
Examples:
Indefinite Pronouns
Unlike demonstrative pronouns, which point out specific items, indefinite
pronouns are used for non-specific things. This is the largest group of
pronouns. All, some, any, several, anyone, nobody, each, both, few,
either, none, one and no one are the most common.
Example:
Interrogative Pronouns
These pronouns are used in questions. Although they are classified as
pronouns, it is not easy to see how they replace nouns. Who, which, what,
where and how are all interrogative pronouns.
Example:
Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used to show possession. As they are used as
adjectives, they are also known as 'possessive adjectives'. My, your, his,
her, its, our and their are all possessive pronouns.
Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns are used to add more information to a sentence. Which,
that, who (including whom and whose) and where are all relative
pronouns.

Examples:
Reciprocal Pronouns
Reciprocal pronouns are used for actions or feelings that are reciprocated.
The two most common reciprocal pronouns are each other and one
another.
Examples:
Reflexive Pronouns
A reflexive pronoun ends ...self or ...selves and refers to another noun or
pronoun in the sentence. The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself,
herself, himself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves.
