Pronouns and you

Some of you have explored the game link for pronouns and nouns. Here is table reminding you of the categories for pronouns.
Personal- I, you, its, ours, and others
Refers to people or things
I saw her take a book to them
Relative- who, which, that
Introduces certain NOUN CLAUSES and ADJECTIVE CLAUSES
The book that I lost was valuable
INTERROGATIVE- which, who, whose, and others
Introduces a question
Who called?
Demonstrative- this, that, these, those
Points out the ANTECEDENT
Whose books are these?
REFLECTIVE OR INTENSIVE- myself, themselves ,and other-self or selves words
Reflects to the antecedent; intensifies the antecedent
They claim to support themselves, I myself doubt it.

RECIPROCAL- each other, one another
Refers to individual parts of a plural antecedent
We respect each other.
INDEFINITE- all, anyone, each and others
Refers to nonpersons or things
Everyone is welcome here
