Replace a singular noun with a singular pronoun.

Replace a plural noun with a plural pronoun

Personal

Subject pronouns (They are the pronouns in charge of replacing the subject of the sentence, that is, the one who executes the action)
(I,YOU, HE, SHE, IT, WE, THEY)
Example: She is my

Object pronouns (they serve as a direct complement, that is, they answer the question. For this reason, they usually go after the verb or prepositions such as for, to, with and at)
(ME, YOU, HIM, HER, IT, US, THEM)
Example: Give it to him!

Possessive

^{Show ownership of a person, place, or thing.} ^{Possessive pronoun: replace the subject}

^{( MINE, YOURS, HIS, HERS, OURS, THEIRS )
Example: That is my dog
Possessive adjetive: describe the subject
(MY, YOUR, HER, HIS, OUR, THEIR)
Example: that dog is mine}

Demonstratives

Its use depends on the proximity (in time or space) that you have with it.
Singular:this/that
plural: these/those
Example: That was a great concert!

Reflexive pronouns are used with transitive verbs when the direct object of the verb refers to the same person or thing as the subject.
(myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves)
Example: She burned herself while cooking the pizza.

Undefined “it”

They refer to non-specific or unnamed people, things, places, or events.
Example:  It’s Monday.

Using “the”

The shows that a noun is specific

Example:
The Amazon is the longest river in the world
