What is the class of pronouns that changes form?

The class of pronouns that changes form is called inflected pronouns.

Here's a breakdown:

* Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, we, you, I).

* Inflection: The process of changing the form of a word to indicate grammatical function (e.g., tense, number, gender).

Inflected pronouns change form depending on their grammatical role in a sentence. The most common examples are:

* Case:

* Nominative: Used for the subject of a verb (e.g., *I* went to the store).

* Objective: Used for the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., He gave the book to *me*).

* Possessive: Shows ownership (e.g., *My* car is blue).

Examples of Inflected Pronouns:

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

* Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

* Possessive: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

Note: Not all pronouns are inflected. For instance, the indefinite pronouns "something," "everyone," and "nothing" do not change form.
