What kind of pronoun start an independent clause?

An independent clause needs a subject, which is a noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.

Here's a breakdown of pronoun types that can start an independent clause:

* Personal Pronouns: These refer to specific people or things. Examples:

* I, you, he, she, it, we, they

* Example: *They went to the store.*

* Indefinite Pronouns: These refer to nonspecific people or things. Examples:

* Anyone, everyone, someone, no one, each, everybody, somebody, nobody, all, some, none

* Example: *Everyone needs a break sometimes.*

* Demonstrative Pronouns: These point out specific people or things. Examples:

* This, that, these, those

* Example: *Those are my favorite shoes.*

Important Note: While all of these pronoun types can be subjects, not all pronouns are always subjects. Some pronouns function differently in a sentence (like object pronouns).
