Definition of Pronoun: A Pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Pronouns are used to avoid repeating the same nouns over and over again. For example, "Jeremy ran so fast, you'd think his life was in danger." The pronoun "his" saved us from repeating the name Jeremy again. Common pronouns include I, me, mine, she, he, it, we, and us.There are many different types of pronouns, each serving a different purpose.
Types of Pronouns: Personal Pronouns: Personal pronouns are used as a substitute for a person's name. There are two kinds: subjective and objective pronouns. That is, they either act as the subject of the sentence or the object of the sentence. As the subject of a sentence, they are:

my

For example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things-a red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, and an obnoxious person.
Kinds of Adjectives: Proper Adjectives: Proper Adjectives are the adjective form of proper nouns. When proper nouns modify or describe othernouns/pronouns, they become proper adjectives. A proper adjective allows us to summarize a concept in just one word. Instead of writing/saying ‘a food cooked in Chinese recipe’ you can write/say ‘Chinese food’. Quantitative Adjectives: A Quantitative Adjective provides information about the quantity of the nouns/pronouns. This type belongs to the question category of ‘how much’ and ‘how many’. I have 20 bucks in my wallet. (How much) They have three children. (How many) Demonstrative Adjectives: A Demonstrative Adjective directly refers to something or someone. Demonstrative adjectives include the words: this, that, these, those. That building is so gorgeously decorated These cats are cute. Numeral adjective: Numeral Adjectives can be numbers or numerical orders, describing the number of nouns or the order of the noun being described. He bought three eggs atthe supermarket. Interrogative Adjectives: An Interrogative Adjective asks a question. An interrogative adjective must be followed by a noun or a pronoun. The interrogative adjectives are: which, what, whose. These words will not be considered as adjectives if a noun does not follow right after them. ‘Whose’ also belongs to the possessive adjective type? Which song will you play on your wedding day? Which phone do you use? Order of Adjective:
