Questions and answers

What is a pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that stands in for a noun or a noun phrase, such as she for Maria or they for the players. The word a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent.

The lists here follow the usual kinds: personal (she, them), possessive (mine, ours), reflexive (itself), reciprocal (each other), demonstrative (this, those), interrogative (who, what), relative (whom, whose) and indefinite (anyone, several).
