1. Personal Pronouns: These refer to specific people or things. Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them.
2. Possessive Pronouns: These show ownership. Examples: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs. (Note: possessive *determiners* like *my*, *your*, *his*, etc., are sometimes confused with possessive pronouns, but they function differently grammatically.)
3. Reflexive Pronouns: These refer back to the subject of the sentence. 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 words as reflexive pronouns, but their function is different. Example: "I did it *myself*." (intensive) vs. "I hurt *myself*." (reflexive).
5. Demonstrative Pronouns: These point to specific things. Examples: this, that, these, those.
6. Interrogative Pronouns: These 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: someone, anyone, everyone, no one, somebody, anybody, everybody, nobody, something, anything, everything, nothing, one, each, either, neither, several, few, many, some, all, most, any.
It's important to note that some pronouns can function in multiple categories depending on their use in a sentence. For example, "that" can be a demonstrative pronoun or a relative pronoun.
