the Different Types of Pronouns _
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:
This is the one I left in the car.
(In this example, the speaker could be indicating to a mobile phone, in which case, the pronoun this replaces the words mobile phone.)
Shall I take those?

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:
Somebody must have seen the driver leave.
(somebody – not a specific person)
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. (Oscar Wilde)
I have nothing to declare except my genius. (Oscar Wilde)

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:
Who told you to do that?
