Pronoun.

A pronoun stands in place of a noun(to avoid) repeating.

Examples:

he
me
it
him
Ahmad is my friend, he is my class fellow.

Subject pronoun.02

Subject pronouns act as the subject of a sentence.I ,you,he,she,it,we,you,they are subject pronoun.

Reflexive Pronouns.05

Reflexive pronouns are recognized by the addition of self (singular) or selves (plural) to the pronoun.They are used in situation where the subject and object are the same person.

Source

He hurt himself while playing hockey.(himself while).
They took the responsibility on themselves.(themselves).

Emphatic Pronouns.06

When reflexive pronouns are used to put emphasis on a particular noun they are called emphatic pronouns.

He himself told me this.(himself)
I finished the job myself. (myself)

Notes.

The emphatic pronouns can't be used as subjects.it is therefore wrong to say.

John and myself went there.
Herself swam in the river.
I invited herself to tea.

The correct sentences are as follows:

John and I went there.
She swam in the river.
I invited her to tea.

Relative Pronoun.07

Relative pronoun are used to join two sentences these are also called 'linked pronouns' as they link the dependent relative clause of a sentence to it's main clause.

Examples.

I know the boy who came from Karachi.(who)
This is the book.This book belongs to my uncle.
This is the book which belongs to my uncle.(which)

Indefinite Pronoun. 08

Indifinite pronoun refers to person or thing in general way, but does not refer to any person or thing in particular. We use indefinite pronouns when we want to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are.The pronouns ending in 'body' and 'one'refer to people and those ending In 'thing'refer 'to things.

The most common ones are.

All, any, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, and someone.
