Q

Pronoun

A

ضمير
him, her…etc.
A pronoun is used in place of a noun, which is called its antecedent. The most commonly-used pronouns are personal pronouns: she, her, he, him, I, me, you, it, we, us, they and them.

Possessive pronouns indicate ownership: my, your, its, his, her, our, their and whose.

If you want to emphasize another noun or pronoun you would use a reflexive pronoun: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause: that, what, which, who and whom.

And demonstrative pronouns are identifying or referring to nouns: that, this, these and those. They take the place of a noun that has already been mentioned.
