   1.    Mention the Kinds of Pronoun ! Make sentences for each kind !

 Generally (but not always) pronouns stand for (pro + noun) or refer to a noun, an individual or individuals or   thing or things (the pronoun's antecedent) whose identity is made clear earlier in the text. For instance, we are bewildered by writers who claim something like

This section will list and briefly describe the several kinds of pronouns.

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronoun describes a particular person or thing or group.personal pronoun describes the person speaking (I, me, we, us), the person spoken to (you), or the person or thing spoken about (he, she, it, they, him, her, them)

Example :

·         We students are demanding that the administration give us two hours for lunch.

·         The administration has managed to put us students in a bad situation.

Demonstrative Pronouns

The family of demonstratives (this/that/these/those/such) can behave either as pronouns or as determiners.

Example :      

·         That is incredible! (referring to something you just saw)

·          He seemed to say whatever came to mind.

Relative Pronouns

The relative pronouns (who/whoever/which/that) relate groups of words to nouns or other pronouns (The student who studies hardest usually does the best.). The word who connects or relates the subject, student, to the verb within the dependent clause (studies). Choosing correctly between which and that and between who and whom leads to what are probably the most Frequently Asked Questions about English grammar
Example :
                  ·         Whoever crosses this line first will win the race.

Indefinite Pronouns

The indefinite pronouns (everybody/anybody/somebody/all/each/every/some/none/one) do not substitute for specific nouns but function themselves as nouns (Everyone is wondering if any is left.)
Example :

      ·         Few will be chosen; fewer will finish.

      ·         Little is expected.

2.  Give the exemples for these 3 types ! There are three basic question types

·         Yes/No: the answer is “yes or no”

Sometimes the only answer that we need is yes or no. Look at these examples:

auxiliary verb	subject	not	main verb		answer: yes or no
Do	you		want	dinner?	Yes, I do.
Can	you		drive?		No, I can’t.
Has	she	not	finished	her work?	Yes, she has.
Did	they		go	home?	No, they didn’t.

·         Question-word: the answer is “information”

Sometimes we want more than yes or no for an answer. When asking for information, we usually place a question-word at the beginning of the sentence. The question-word indicates the information that we want, for example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who (person). Look at these examples:

question word	auxiliary verb	not	subject	main verb		answer: information
Where	do		you	live?		In Paris.
When	will		we	have	lunch?	At 1pm.
Why	has	n’t	Tara	done	it?	Because she can’t.
Who(m)	did		she	meet?		She met Ram.
Who*	has			run	out?	Ati has run out.
Who**				ran	out?	Ati ran out.

·         Choice: the answer is “in the question”

Sometimes we give our listener a choice. We ask them to choose between two possible answers. So their answer is (usually) already in the question. Look at these examples:

auxiliary verb	subject	main verb		or		answer: in question
Do	you	want	tea	or	coffee?	Coffee, please.
Will	we	meet	John	or	James?	John.
