A pronoun is a word that can take the place of a noun. Based on different form and function in the sentence, pronouns fall into several major categories such as personal pronouns, compound personal pronouns (reflexive), possessive pronouns, relative and interrogative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and indefinite pronouns.

Personal pronouns include I, me, you, we, us, he, him she, her, it, they, and them. Personal pronouns can be used to stand for the person speaking, the person spoken to, or the person spoken about.
