List of Pronouns
This list of pronouns will give you a good idea about the various types.
Personal Pronouns
There are two types of personal pronouns:
Subject Pronouns and Object Pronouns
Subject Pronouns
| I | You | He | She | It |
| They | We |

She cries a lot.

They go now.

Object Pronouns
| Me | You | Him | Her |
| It | Us | Them |
The man told me what to do.
The boy gave you the book.
The mother cooked for him.
The bus didn't wait for her.
Buy it now.
He did it for us.
Dad bought them last week.
Relative Pronouns
| that | which | who | whom | whose |
| whichever | whatever | whoever | whomever |
These are in the beginning of an Adjective Clause
Examples:

Tell me the facts that help to find him.
The boy who arrived from Germany is very young.

The men,who worked in the house, are not reliable.

Whatever he does he works very hard.
If you can't come, for whatever reason, give us a call.
The teacher gave it to whoever solved the problem first.
The boss will fire whoever is sick.
Possessive Pronouns
| mine | yours | his | hers | its |
| ours | yours | theirs |
If you use them before Nouns they function as adjectives.
Examples:
Take these computers. Mine is the new one.I eat your cake. Do you eat mine?
I sold Peter's car but I couldn't sell yours.
My clothes are wet. Yours are dry.
Nobody finished his job but his was finished.
Joe drank his beer but Susan didn't drink hers.
The boss cleaned his clothes but Betty couldn't clean hers.
Take your shoes. Ours are at the beach.
Your opinion is right. Ours is wrong.
All cars are dirty. Yours is clean.
I like this house but I don't like yours
The neighbours don't like your bicycle. Do you like theirs?
Interrogative Pronouns
| what | who | which | whom | whose |
You need them to ask a question. There is never a noun placed after an interrogative pronoun. A question is asked and it is not known to which noun the pronoun refers to.
Examples:
Who said this? (My father said this.)Whom did you give it? (I gave it to my boss.)
What's going on? (A party)
What are you watching? (I watch a movie.)
Which is the smallest? (The right room is the smallest.)
Which do you prefer? (I prefer the wine.)
If you place a noun after the pronoun then it is not an interrogative Pronoun but an Interrogative Adjective.
Example:
Which house do you prefer?The word "house" is a noun which follows the pronoun "which" so it is an Interrogative Adjective.
