☆Personal Pronouns---

The first type of pronoun in the English language is the personal pronoun. Personal pronouns are pronouns that refer to specific antecedents. The English personal pronoun system includes four types of pronouns: subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive pronouns, and reflexive pronouns. Personal pronouns express person and number in English. The English personal pronouns are:

•I, me, mine, myselfwe, us, ours, ourselvesyou, yours, yourself, yourselveshe, him, his, himselfshe, her, hers, herselfit, it, its, itselfthey, them, theirs, themselves

●For example:

I bought him it to give to her.You need to wash the dishes yourself.She finished them for usyesterday.Mine and his are on the table next to yours and hers.

☆Indefinite Pronouns-----

The second type of pronoun in the English language is the indefinite pronoun. Indefinite pronouns are pronouns that refer to unspecified antecedents. Some indefinite pronouns are also referred to as impersonal pronouns. Indefinite pronouns express number in English. The English indefinite pronouns are:

•singular indefinite -one pronounssingular indefinite -body pronounssingular indefinite -thing pronounsother singular indefinite pronounsplural indefinite pronounssingular/plural indefinite pronounsyou, yours, yourself, yourselvesthey, them, theirs, themselves

For example:

●Nobody left anything for you.Both are for neither.Somebody called about something last night.They say you should always wash your hands before eating.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUN----'

In English grammar, a reflexive pronoun indicates that the person who is realizing the action of the verb is also the recipient of the action. While this might seem strange at first glance, the following examples of reflexive pronouns and the accompanying list of reflexive pronouns will help you gain thorough understanding. In fact, you will probably notice that you yourself use reflexive pronouns frequently when speaking or writing

In the following examples of reflexive pronouns, the reflexive pronoun in each sentence is italicized.

☆I was in a hurry, so I washed the car myself.☆You’re going to have to drive yourself to school today.☆He wanted to impress her, so he baked a cake himself.☆Jennifer does chores herself because she doesn’t trust others to do them right.☆That car is in a class all by itself.☆We don’t have to go out; we can fix dinner ourselves.☆You are too young to go out by yourselves.☆The actors saved the local theatre money by making costumes themselves.

Good morning

=> Personal Pronoun - A personal pronoun is a short word we use as a simple substitute for the proper name of a person. ... I, you, he, she, it, we they, me, him, her, us, and them are all personal pronouns. Personal pronouns are the stunt doubles of grammar; they stand in for the people (and perhaps animals) who star in our sentences.

=> Reflexive Pronoun - Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). ... The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.

=> Indefinite Pronoun - adjective. not definite; without fixed or specified limit; unlimited: an indefinite number. not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact: an indefinite boundary; an indefinite date in the future. Grammar. ... indefinite pronoun.
