Interrogative Pronouns

An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun used in order to ask a question. Some of them refer only to people, like "who" and others refer to people and objects, etc like "what". They do not distinguish between singular and plural, so they only have one form. Interrogative pronouns produce information questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer.

For example:

What is her phone number?
What do you want?

Personal pronouns

Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:

•number: singular (eg: I) or plural (eg: we)
•person: 1st person (eg: I), 2nd person (eg: you) or 3rd person (eg: he)
•gender: male (eg: he), female (eg: she) or neuter (eg: it)
•case: subject (eg: we) or object (eg: us)

We use personal pronouns in place of the person or people that we are talking about. My name is John but when I am talking about myself I almost always use "I" or "me", not "John". When I am talking direct to you, I almost always use "you", not your name. When I am talking about another person, say Peter, I may start with "Peter" but then use "he" or "him". And so on.

Using Possessive Pronouns and Adjectives

A possessive pronoun is used instead of a noun:

Julie's car is red. Mine is blue.

A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun, and it comes before it, like other adjectives:

My car is bigger than her car.

Remember:
There are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns and adjectives.

The dog wagged its tail.

“It's” is not a possessive pronoun or adjective — it means “it is”:

It's not my dog.
