What is the two kinds of pronoun?

There are many ways to categorize pronouns, but the two most common are:

1. Personal Pronouns: These refer to specific people or things. They change based on:

* Person: First person (I, me, we, us), second person (you), third person (he, him, she, her, it, they, them)

* Number: Singular (I, you, he) or plural (we, you, they)

* Case: Nominative (subject of a verb), Objective (object of a verb or preposition), or Possessive (shows ownership).

2. Other Pronouns: This category encompasses all pronouns that aren't personal. Some examples include:

* Demonstrative Pronouns: Point to specific things (this, that, these, those)

* Interrogative Pronouns: Ask questions (who, whom, whose, what, which)

* Reflexive Pronouns: Refer back to the subject of a sentence (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves)

* Intensive Pronouns: Emphasize the subject (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves)

* Indefinite Pronouns: Refer to nonspecific people or things (all, any, anybody, everyone, nothing, someone, etc.)

* Relative Pronouns: Connect clauses (who, whom, whose, which, that)
