Introduction to Pronouns:

Explanation:
Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition and simplify communication. There are several types of pronouns, each serving a unique purpose. In this lesson, we will cover personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, reflexive pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and indefinite pronouns.

Personal Pronouns:

Definition: Personal pronouns refer to specific people or things and change form based on the subject or object in a sentence.
Examples: "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," "they"
"She is happy."
"We are going to the park."
Possessive Pronouns:

Definition: Possessive pronouns indicate ownership or possession.
Examples: "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," "theirs"
"The book is mine."
"Is this yours?"
Demonstrative Pronouns:

Definition: Demonstrative pronouns point to specific things and indicate proximity or distance.
Examples: "this," "that," "these," "those"
"This is my house."
"I like those shoes."
Reflexive Pronouns:

Definition: Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence and indicate that the subject and object are the same.
Examples: "myself," "yourself," "himself," "herself," "itself," "ourselves," "themselves"
"She hurt herself."
"They did it themselves."
Interrogative Pronouns:

Definition: Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions.
Examples: "who," "whom," "whose," "what," "which"
"Who is that?"
"What do you want?"
Indefinite Pronouns:

Definition: Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific persons or things.
Examples: "someone," "anyone," "everyone," "no one," "somebody," "anybody," "everybody," "nobody"
