What are the 6 types of pronouns?

There are actually 9 types of pronouns, not 6! Here they are:

1. Personal pronouns: These refer to specific people or things. They change form depending on their grammatical role in the sentence (subject, object, possessive).

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

2. Possessive pronouns: These show ownership or possession.

* Examples: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

3. Reflexive pronouns: These refer back to the subject of the sentence. They end in "-self" or "-selves."

* Examples: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

4. Intensive pronouns: These emphasize the noun or pronoun they refer to. They are the same as reflexive pronouns but are used for emphasis.

* Examples: I myself did it, She herself went to the store.

5. Demonstrative pronouns: These point to specific people or things.

* Examples: this, that, these, those.

6. Interrogative pronouns: These are used to ask questions.

* Examples: who, whom, whose, what, which.

7. Relative pronouns: These connect a clause to a noun or pronoun.

* Examples: who, whom, whose, which, that.

8. Indefinite pronouns: These refer to nonspecific people or things.

* Examples: anyone, everyone, something, nothing, all, some, many, few, several, both, either, neither.

9. Reciprocal pronouns: These refer to a mutual action or relationship.

* Examples: each other, one another.
