Pronoun

A pronoun is a noun with a specific type of reference, but without a fixed referent. For example, "I" means specifically the person speaking, which is true whoever happens to be speaking, but the actual person "I" refers to depends on context.

There are several kinds of pronouns:

• personal pronouns: I, you, we
• possessive pronouns: mine, yours, ours (as opposed to possessive adjectives: my, your, our)
• demonstrative pronouns: this, that, those (as opposed to demonstrative adjectives: this car, that house, those people).
