How do you abbreviate pronoun?

You can't really abbreviate "pronoun" itself. It's already a short word.

However, you can use abbreviations for specific types of pronouns:

* Personal pronouns:

* 1st person: I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours

* 2nd person: you, your, yours

* 3rd person: he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its, they, them, their, theirs

* Possessive pronouns: (See above, starting with "my," "your," etc.)

* Reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

* Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those

* Indefinite pronouns: all, any, both, each, either, everyone, everything, few, many, most, neither, nobody, none, nothing, one, several, some, somebody, something

If you are talking about a specific pronoun in a grammatical context, you could use the following abbreviations:

* 1st: first person

* 2nd: second person

* 3rd: third person

* sg: singular

* pl: plural

* masc: masculine

* fem: feminine

* neut: neuter

For example:

* "The 3rd sg masc pronoun in this sentence is 'he'."

Remember, these abbreviations are primarily used in academic or grammatical contexts. In everyday writing, it's best to write out the full pronoun.
