Types of Pronouns

Personal Pronouns: Refer to specific people or things, altering form based on grammatical role. Examples include:
- Subject: "She is going to the store."
- Object: "I saw him at the park."
- Possessive: "That book is hers."
Demonstrative Pronouns: Point out specific entities relative to the speaker. Examples:
- "This is my new phone."
- "Can you pass me that book?"
Relative Pronouns: Introduce relative clauses and connect them to nouns. Include words like "who," "whom," "whose," "which," and "that." Examples:
- "The person who called is my cousin."
- "The dog that barked is friendly."
Interrogative Pronouns: Used to ask questions, comprising "who," "whom," "whose," "which," and "what." Examples:
- "Who is coming to the party?"
- "What did you eat for breakfast?"
Possessive Pronouns: Indicate ownership without apostrophes, including "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," and "theirs." Examples:
- "The red car is hers."
- "Is this book yours or mine?"
Indefinite Pronouns: Refer to unspecified people or things, such as "everyone," "someone," "nothing," and "both." Examples:
- "Somebody left their umbrella here."
- "Both of the options are valid."
Reflexive Pronouns: Used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same, ending in "-self" or "-selves." Examples:
- "She hurt herself."
- "I need to take care of myself."
Intensive Pronouns: Emphasize a preceding noun, using the same endings as reflexive pronouns. Examples:
- "I myself saw the accident."
- "The president herself delivered the speech."

Types of Verbs

Action Verbs: Express physical or mental actions. Examples include:
- "Run" (She runs every morning).
- "Read" (He is reading a book).
Linking Verbs: Connect the subject to a subject complement, describing the subject. Examples:
- "Be" (She is a doctor).
- "Seem" (The movie seems interesting).
Auxiliary (Helping) Verbs: Work with main verbs to create different tenses and moods. Examples:
- "Have" (She has finished her homework).
- "Will" (They will come to the party).
Modal Verbs: Express possibility, necessity, or obligation with the base form of the main verb. Examples:
- "Can" (I can swim).
- "Must" (You must finish your assignment).
Regular Verbs: Form their past tense and past participle by adding "-ed." Examples:
- "Talk" (She talked about her trip).
- "Jump" (He jumped over the fence).
Irregular Verbs: Do not follow the regular pattern for past tense formation. Examples:
- "Go" (She went to the store).
- "Eat" (They ate pizza for dinner).
Phrasal Verbs: Consist of a main verb and one or more particles, often with a distinct meaning. Examples:
- "Turn on" (Please turn on the lights).
- "Give up" (He won't give up on his dreams).
