Categories of Pronouns

Bear in Mind the Following

Each kind of pronoun has a unique function in a sentence; many pronouns belong to multiple categories, and can serve different purposes depending on the context.

This work follows the categorization found in the book “The FarLex Grammar Book: Complete English Grammar Rules.”

Mind map of the pronoun categories that we will be working on.
