Parts of Pronoun and Its Definitions

We already have discussed in our previous chapter about personal pronoun specially. But here we are able to discuss all the parts of pronoun. I think pronoun is better placement of noun to know good English and to speak well versed English.

Demonstrative Pronoun

It comes in the replacement of noun and shows their presence, called demonstrative pronoun. For example – This, That, These, Those etc.

Some tips of demonstrative pronoun

Use of “This” should be used for those things which are near you and near a subject and that should be in singular noun. For example – I have a pen in my hand. This is new.

Use of “That” should be used far way things when it is in singular noun. For example – Look at the star. That is very bright.

Use of “These” should be used for nearest things when it is plural noun. For example – I have many pens. These have very good look.

Use of “Those” should be used for those which are not nearest and which are in plural noun. For example – Look at the cars, those are very costly.

Distributive Pronoun

The pronoun which comes with the replacement of noun and shows their presence as distributive elements among things and human beings, called distributive pronoun. For example – each, either etc.

“Each” is used as singular noun and it takes singular verb. For example – Each is satisfied.

Indefinite Pronoun

That pronoun which are not certain, called indefinite pronoun. For example – All, Some, More, Most, Any, Enough etc.

If they come as uncountable noun, known as singular noun and take singular verb. For example – All that glitters is not gold.

But if they will be used as countable noun, known as plural and will take plural verb. For example – All are corrupt.

Reflexive Pronoun

That pronoun which appear as noun and do everything by itself, called reflexive pronoun. For example – My self, him self etc.

One of the best examples for reflexive pronoun is – One should respect oneself.

Interrogative Pronoun

The pronoun which comes with the replacement of noun and ask question, called interrogative pronoun. For example – What, which, who, whom etc.

Interrogative pronoun comes in the beginning for sentence and takes a question mark in the end of sentence. For example – What is your name?

Relative Pronoun

The pronoun which comes in the replacement of noun and shows the relationship, called relative pronoun. For example – Which, what, who, whose, whom etc.

These are used in the mid of sentences and sentence take a full stop in the end. For example – The boy who is playing.

Another is - I have a pen which is new.

I think after that discussion all the questions about pronoun and parts of pronoun are clear. So, we will proceed with a new chapter in next post. If you collect the information in your mind your English learning way will be very simple.
