.Pronome é a classe de palavras que acompanha ou substitui um
substantivo ou um outro pronome, indicando sua posição em relação às
pessoas do discurso ou mesmo situando-o no espaço e no tempo. Os
pronomes nos ajudam a evitar repetições desnecessárias na fala e na
escrita. São divididos em:
Subject Pronouns - é um tipo de Personal Pronoun (pronome pessoal)
que equivale ao sujeito de uma frase, por isso são conhecidos
como subjects (sujeitos). Podem ser utilizados no singular ou no plural,
possuindo três gêneros: masculino, feminino e neutro.
Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they
Exemplos: I’m so glad. / She is a teacher.
Object Pronouns - têm a função de objeto da frase, aparecendo
normalmente no predicado e exerce a mesma função do pronome
oblíquo da língua portuguesa.
Object pronouns: Me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them
Exemplos: I love you. / I give her a kiss.
Possessive Adjectives - é um tipo de pronome que se refere a
um substantivo, mostrando posse. Tecnicamente, não é um pronome, e
sim um adjetivo que, como seu próprio nome indica, são determinantes
de uma frase que modificam o substantivo que os acompanham,
passando a se comportar como posse.
Possessive Adjectives: My, your, his, her, its, our, your, their
Exemplos: My mother is Maria. / What’s your phone number?
Possessive Pronouns - são “verdadeiros pronomes” porque se referem a
um substantivo previamente citado. Ou seja, os pronomes possessivos
substituem a construção Possessive Adjective + substantivo.
Exemplos: Is this yours, Mrs. Barnett? / This book is mine.
Possessive pronouns: Mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs
Demonstrative Pronouns - geralmente focam a atenção nos
substantivos que estão substituindo, podendo ser compreendido uma
noção de distância (de tempo ou espaço). Geralmente são utilizados para
apontar posição de substantivos, seja perto ou longe.
Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those
dessa ação simultaneamente. Dessa forma, o Reciprocal Pronoun será
necessário sempre que houver uma situação em que algo é dado e
recebido, ou quando qualquer situação mútua é expressa.

One another = um ao outro
Exemplos:
Maria and Robert loved each other. [Maria e Robert se amavam.]
The members of the graduating class applauded one another. [Os
membros da turma formanda aplaudiam uns aos outros.]
