pronoun types
The seven families of pronouns, sorted by the job each one does.
Pronouns split into seven families by function: personal (standing in for a specific person or thing — she, them), possessive (marking ownership — mine, theirs), reflexive (referring back to the subject of the same clause — herself), demonstrative (identifying by pointing — this, those), interrogative (introducing a question — who, what), relative (introducing a clause that describes a noun — who, which, that), and indefinite (referring to an unspecified person or amount — everyone, nobody, anything).
Examples
"themselves" is reflexive; "nobody" is indefinite.
