What is an Interrogative Pronoun?
An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun which is used to make asking questions easy.
There are five interrogative pronouns. Each one is used to ask a very specific question.
Interrogative pronouns can also be used as relative pronouns, which may be found in
questions. Youll know for certain that a pronoun is classified as an interrogative when
its used in a question, because interrogative pronouns are found only in questions.
What
Which
Who

Whose
Interrogative pronouns are very easy to remember and use. Memorize them to make
things even simper.

Personal Pronouns

What is a Personal Pronoun?

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the
grammatical sense.
When discussing person in terms of the grammatical, the following rules apply:
First person, as in I
Second person, as in you
Third person, as in It, he, she
Personal pronouns may take on various forms depending on number (singular or plural for the most
part). They may also take different forms depending on case, gender, or formality. It is important to
note that personal pronouns may refer to objects, animals, or people.
Personal pronouns provide us with the following information:
The person Who is speaking?
The number Is the pronoun plural or singular?
The gender Is the pronoun feminine, masculine, or neuter?

Examples of Personal Pronouns

The word he is an example of a personal pronoun. He is third person (because he is the person
being spoken about), singular, and masculine. The word we is another example of a personal
pronoun. We is first person (because we are speaking as a group), plural, and neuter.
In the following examples, personal pronouns are italicized.
You need to stop lying to me.
We would love for you to join us.
Come look at my cat! He has climbed to the top of that tree.

What is Compound Personal Pronoun

Compound personal pronoun is a pronoun which is formed by adding suffix at the end of words
such as ''self'' (for singular) or ''selves'' (for plural) to certain personal pronouns. Compound
personal pronouns are called as compounds because they are made from a personal pronoun by

adding the suffix. We can divide compound personal pronouns into first person, second person and
third person.
First person: myself, ourselves, etc.
Second person: yourself, yourselves, etc.
Third person: himself, herself, themselves, itself, etc.

Examples of Compound Personal Pronoun

In the first and second person types personal pronouns, we can add suffix to the possessive
adjectives (such as my, your, our, etc). However, in the third person type personal pronouns, we can
add suffix to the object pronouns (such as him, her, it, them, etc).
For example:
He can understand himself better.
She bought herself two new pens.
They can not do it themselves.
You can be prepared for the exam yourself.
We can perform this ourselves very easily.
This man himself can defeat the alligator.
She herself helped us.
They themselves went to the temple and prayed for us.

Types of Compound Personal Pronoun

There are two types of the compound personal pronouns such as reflexive and intensive. Both
types have same forms however different functions.
Reflexive pronoun: Reflexive pronouns act as an object of verb however indicate action back to
the subject. Its exist as same person or thing in the sentence as subject such as:
Examples of Reflexive Pronoun
He blamed himself for the failure in the competition.
She hurt herself for the group mistake.
I gave myself enough time to get prepared for this competition.
You should not let yourself involve in this case.
He bought himself a gift for me.
She reads important news herself.
The dog has scratched itself very badly.
We have treated ourselves in a big hotel at this occasion.
You can make this recipe yourselves at home.
Kids are able to perform well themselves.
Intensive pronoun: Intensive pronouns show importance for the noun or pronoun exist in the
sentence.
Generally, intensive pronouns appear near to the subject in sentence
Examples of Intensive Pronoun:
Have you wrote this book yourselves.
You yourself spent all money.
I have cooked today's lunch myself.
I made myself sick because of the heat.
You yourself are responsible for all the problems in school.
He himself will participate in the rally.
She herself has written these lines.
Dog itself has caught the cat.

They themselves helped the poor people.

Describe a Stressful Time in Your Life)

Money causes teenagers to feel stress. It makes them feel bad about themselves and
envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room
with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own
room and have a lot of stuff, but she cant have these things because her family doesnt
have much money. Her familys income is pretty low because her father is old and
doesnt go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because her family cant buy
her the things she wants, she feels a lot of stress and gets angry sometimes. Once, she
wanted a beautiful dress to wear to a sweetheart dance. She asked her sister for some
money to buy the dress. She was disappointed because her sister didnt have money to
give her. She sat in silence for a little while and then started yelling out loud. She said
her friends got anything they wanted but she didnt. Then she felt sorry for herself and
asked why she was born into a poor family. Not having money has caused this girl to
think negatively about herself and her family. It has caused a lot of stress in her life.

(Why Do People Lie?)

One reason people lie is to achieve personal power. Achieving personal power is helpful
for someone who pretends to be more confident than he really is. For example, one of
my friends threw a party at his house last month. He asked me to come to his party and
bring a date. However, I didnt have a girlfriend. One of my other friends, who had a
date to go to the party with, asked me about my date. I didnt want to be embarrassed,
so I claimed that I had a lot of work to do. I said I could easily find a date even better
than his if I wanted to. I also told him that his date was ugly. I achieved power to help
me feel confident; however, I embarrassed my friend and his date. Although this lie
helped me at the time, since then it has made me look down on myself.
