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?
Which dog won the race?

Personal Pronouns
The personal pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, they, and who. More often than not (but not exclusively), they replace nouns representing people. When most people think of pronouns, it is the personal pronouns that usually spring to mind.
Example:
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used to show possession. As they are used as adjectives, they are also known as possessive adjectives. My, your, his, her, its, our and their are all possessive pronouns.
Have you seen her book?
(In this example, the pronoun her replaces a word like Sarah's.)

Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns are used to add more information to a sentence. Which, that, who (including whom and whose) and where are all relative pronouns.
Examples:
Dr Adam Sissons, who lectured at Cambridge for more than 12 years, should have known the difference.
(In this example, the relative pronoun who introduces the clause who studied at Cambridge for 12 years and refers back to Dr Adams Sissons.)
The man who first saw the comet reported it as a UFO.
(In this example, the relative pronoun who introduces the clause who first saw the comet and refers back to the man.)

Absolute Possessive Pronouns
These pronouns also show possession. Unlike possessive pronouns (see above), which are adjectives to nouns, these pronouns sit by themselves. Mine, yours, his, hers, ours and theirs are all absolute possessive pronouns.
Examples:
The tickets are as good as ours.
Shall we take yours or theirs?

Examples:
They talk to each other like they're babies.

Intensive (or Emphatic) Pronouns
An intensive pronoun (sometimes called an emphatic pronoun) refers back to another noun or pronoun in the sentence to emphasize it (e.g., to emphasize that it is the thing carrying out the action).
Examples:
John bakes all the bread himself.
(In this example, the intensive pronoun himself refers back to the noun John.)
