We used them depending on a number,

• Do you like coffee?
• John loves you.
• She is clever.
REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
• It is used with an active voice verb in
order to reflect the action of the verb
back on the subject which is the
antecedent.
EXAMPLES:

• Have you yourself seen it? Or have you seen it
yourself?
• She spoke to me herself, or she herself spoke to
me.
DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
• Demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative
adjectives have exactly the same forms. The
way to differentiate them depends on their
position relative to the antecedent or
determined nouns.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN

• It represents the thing that we don’t know


(what we are asking the question about)
• There are four main interrogative pronouns :
who, whom, what, which.
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
• An indefinite pronoun does not
refer to any specific person,
thing, or amount. It is vague
and not definite.
