Chapter 1.Personal, Demonstrative and Interrogative pronouns

Personal pronouns are words like “he” that refer to yourself, the person you’re addressing, or other people and things. They usually refer to an antecedent but may occur without one when the reference is self-evident (e.g., “I” always refers to the person saying or writing it).Personal pronouns can change their form based on:

• 
  Person (first-, second-, or third-person)
  
• 
  Number (singular or plural)
  
• 
  Gender (masculine, feminine, neuter, or epicene)
  
• 
  Case (subject, object, possessive, or reflexive)
  

The impersonal pronoun “one” is used in general statements about no particular person. It has fewer forms than the personal pronouns but is otherwise used in the same way.

The four demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, and those) are used to indicate something previously mentioned or, in conversation, something that is clear from the context. For example, in the sentence “Take this,” “this” has no explicit antecedent, but it would be clear in context that it referred to whatever object you were being given.
The demonstrative pronouns give information about the relative closeness (literal or figurative) of the things they refer to, especially when they’re contrasted with each other:

• 
  The “near” demonstrative this (singular) or these (plural) indicates something close to you.
  
• 
  The “far” demonstrative that (singular) or those (plural) indicates something farther from you.
  

Examples: Demonstrative pronounsThis is an apple, and those are oranges.
That isn’t fair! I wanted to go first.
Interrogative pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are used (along with other types of interrogative words) to introduce questions. The interrogative pronouns are:
