What is the definition of simple pronoun?

There isn't a grammatical term called "simple pronoun." The term "pronoun" itself already encompasses the idea of a word that replaces a noun or noun phrase.

Here's a breakdown of pronouns and their categories:

* Pronoun: A word that replaces a noun or noun phrase to avoid repetition.

* Personal Pronouns: Refer to specific people or things (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they).

* Possessive Pronouns: Show ownership (e.g., mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs).

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

* Intensive Pronouns: Emphasize the noun or pronoun they refer to (e.g., I myself, you yourself, he himself).

* Demonstrative Pronouns: Point out specific nouns or noun phrases (e.g., this, that, these, those).

* Interrogative Pronouns: Used in questions (e.g., who, whom, whose, what, which).

* Relative Pronouns: Connect clauses and refer to a noun in a previous clause (e.g., who, whom, whose, which, that).

* Indefinite Pronouns: Refer to nonspecific people or things (e.g., someone, anyone, everyone, nobody, something, anything, everything, nothing).

Perhaps you were thinking of a specific type of pronoun. If you could provide more context or an example, I can help you understand the concept better.
