What is a conjunctive pronoun?

The term "conjunctive pronoun" is not a standard grammatical term in English. There's no grammatical category specifically called "conjunctive pronoun."

Here's what's likely happening:

* Confusion with Relative Pronouns: You might be thinking of relative pronouns, which connect a dependent clause to an independent clause. These pronouns are "conjunctive" in the sense that they join clauses together. Examples of relative pronouns include:

* Who, whom, whose: referring to people

* Which: referring to things

* That: referring to people or things

* Where: referring to places

* When: referring to times

* Why: referring to reasons

* Confusion with Conjunctions: A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, or clauses. These include words like:

* And, but, or, so, yet, for

In summary, there's no grammatical category called "conjunctive pronoun." The term likely refers to relative pronouns, which function to connect clauses, but are not pronouns in the traditional sense.
