PRONOUN AND ITS KINDS

  A pronoun is a word or form that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase.

Kinds of pronouns

Common types of pronouns found in the world's languages are as follows:

1. Personal pronouns denote an entity of a specific grammatical person: first person (as in the case of I, me, we, etc.), second person (as in the case of you), or third person (he, she, they, etc.)

2. Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession or ownership.
In a strict sense, the possessive pronouns are only those that act syntactically as nouns. English example: Those clothes are mine
 Often, though, the term "possessive pronoun" is also applied to the so-called possessive determiners (or possessive adjectives). For example, in English: I lost my wallet. They are not strictly speaking pronouns[citation needed] because they do not substitute for a noun or noun phrase, and as such, some grammarians classify these terms in a separate lexical category called determiners (they have a syntactic role close to that of adjectives, always qualifying a noun).

3. Demonstrative pronouns distinguish the particular objects or people that are referred to from other possible candidates. English example: I'll take these. 

4. Indefinite pronouns refer to general categories of people or things. English example: Anyone can do that. 
 Examples of indefinite pronouns that are singular in meaning.
everybody, anybody, somebody, nobody, one, everyone, anyone, someone, no one, everything, anything, something, anything, something, nothing, either, neither, any, none

Examples of indefinite pronouns that are plural in meaning;
both, several, all, many, some, few, most
  
5. Relative pronouns refer back to people or things previously mentioned. English example: People who smoke should quit now.
    • Indefinite relative pronouns have some of the properties of both relative pronouns and indefinite pronouns. They have a sense of "referring back", but the person or thing to which they refer has not previously been explicitly named. English example: I know what I like.
  • 5. Interrogative pronouns ask which person or thing is meant. English example: Who did that?
    • In many languages (e.g., Czech, English, French, Interlingua, and Russian), the sets of relative and interrogative pronouns are nearly identical. Compare English: Who is that? (interrogative) to I know who that is. (relative)...
