What are the 10 examples of special pronoun?

There's no category of "special pronouns" in traditional grammar. Pronouns are typically classified by their function (e.g., personal, possessive, reflexive, relative, etc.)

However, you might be thinking of some specific types of pronouns that are often considered "special" or unique:

1. Personal Pronouns: These refer to specific people or things:

* I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it, we, us, they, them

2. Possessive Pronouns: These show ownership:

* mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

3. Reflexive Pronouns: These reflect back to the subject of the sentence:

* myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

4. Intensive Pronouns: These emphasize the subject of the sentence:

* myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

5. Reciprocal Pronouns: These show mutual action:

* each other, one another

6. Indefinite Pronouns: These refer to nonspecific people or things:

* all, any, both, each, either, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, nothing, several, some, somebody, something

7. Relative Pronouns: These connect clauses and refer to a noun in the previous clause:

* who, whom, whose, which, that

8. Interrogative Pronouns: These ask questions:

* who, whom, whose, what, which

9. Demonstrative Pronouns: These point to specific things:

* this, that, these, those

10. Pronouns with special usage:

* It can be used as a placeholder for a noun phrase: *It's raining.*

* There can be used as a placeholder for a location: *There's a cat in the garden.*

It's important to remember that the use of pronouns can be complex and depends on the context of the sentence.
