A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun or a group of words used as a noun. Pronouns are classified in five (5) different categories.
They are personal pronouns,
relative pronouns,
demonstrative pronouns,
indefinite pronouns,
and interrogative pronouns.
Some pronouns can appear in more than one classification. How the pronoun is used in the sentence determines its classification. In the next two weeks we will study the five kinds of pronouns.

(1) the speaker or speakers, which is called first person, and include the following pronouns: I, my, mine, me, myself, we, our, ours, us, ourselves;

Personal pronouns can be singular (one) or plural (two or more) just as verbs and nouns.
