Generally (but not always) pronouns stand for (pro + noun) or refer to a noun, an individual or individuals or thing or things (the pronoun's antecedent) whose identity is made clear earlier in the text. For instance: They say that eating beef is bad for you. Not all pronouns will refer to an antecedent, however. Everyone here earns over a thousand dollars a day.
This section will list and briefly describe the several kinds of pronouns.

The demonstrative pronouns are meant to indicate something. They are: this, that, these and those. The pronoun "this" should be used to indicate something that is singular andnear speaker. Ex.: This car is really cool. Referring to something singular and far, the speaker should use "that". Ex.: That is my new neighbor. However, when referring to something close, only in the plural, the speaker should use "these ". Ex.: These tickets are too expensive. The "those" should be used whenever the speaker wants to demonstrate something that is plural and farther away. Ex.: Those are my classmates. Recalling: "This" near / natural "These" near / plural "That" far / natural "Those" far / plural

These are words that refer to the terms mentioned previously. Who and Whom refers to people. Ex.: The boy whom I saw is beautiful. The boy who I saw is beautiful. Which can refer to objects and animals. Ex.: The dog which entered the room is sick. The dog which you saw is sick. That can refer to people, objects and animals. Can not be used with preposition. Ex.: The boy that arrived is beautiful. The boy that I saw is beautiful. The dog that you saw is sick. Whose Indicates a relationship of possession, that is, its antecedent is always theowner. There can be omitted. Ex.: That s the girl whose car was stolen. The car whose the door is open is very old. I know the author whose stories you like. I have the book whose the stories you like.

The Interrogative Pronouns are pronouns used in the construction of questions. They are replacing the names or noun phrases in the questions, stating the type of information being sought. They always start the sentence interrogative. They are: Who, Whom, What, Which, Where, When, How, Whose. Exs.: Who is our new teacher? Whom were you going with? With whom is your friend playing? What is your name? What do you do in your free time? Which TV program do you like? Where do you live? When did you talk to him? How can I say pronomes in English? Whose is that car? There are also some expressions interrogative pronouns formed by how and what, accompanied by an adverb or verb, as: How long, How much, How many, How often, What about, What... like?. Exs.: How long have you been living in the same house? How much is this book? How many books did you buy? How often do you go to the movies? What about changing your life? What is your boyfriend like?
