	A '''pronoun''' is a word or phrase that is used instead of a noun<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun</ref>. The noun a pronoun replaces is called the antecedent. Pronouns can be objects, indirect objects, subjects, and any other part of a sentence a noun can be. Most pronouns are monosyllabic<ref name=":0">http://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/pronouns-2/</ref>.		#REDIRECT[[Pronouns]]

	~~== Types of pronoun ==~~
	* Indefinite pronoun—pronouns which refer to "unspecified objects, beings, or places"<ref name=":0" />. Examples of indefinite pronouns include any, another, anybody, everybody, everything, few, many, several, and none.
	* Personal pronoun—pronouns associated with a specific noun. Excluding ''you'', they all indicate whether the noun in question is singular or plural. They include she, it, and we.
	* Reflexive pronoun—pronouns that follow the noun they refer to and end in -self or -selves. Examples include I myself and you yourself.
	* Demonstrative pronoun—pronouns that indicate a specific noun in a sentence. These pronouns include this, these, and those.
	* Possessive pronoun—pronouns that indicate ownership of a noun. Examples include mine, yours, and theirs.
	* Relative pronoun—pronouns that introduce a relative clause and refer to previously mentioned nouns. Examples include whoever, who, which, and that.
	* Interrogative pronoun—pronouns that introduce a question. They include who, whom, and whose.
	* Reciprocal pronoun—pronouns that show a relationship between two or more nouns. For example, one another.
	* Intensive pronoun—pronouns that end in -self or -selves. They can include reflexive pronouns. Examples include myself and ourselves<ref name=":0" />.

	~~== Pronouns and nonbinary people ==~~
	Nonbinary people can choose to use different pronouns than the ones they were given at birth. Currently, the only pronouns regularly assigned to children are she/her/hers and he/his/him. Nonbinary people can request to be referred to with either of these sets of pronouns, with they/them/theirs, with no pronouns at all, with [[List of neopronouns\|neopronouns]], or any combination therein. Some nonbinary people, especially those who identify as [[multigender]] or [[genderfluid]], prefer multiple sets of pronouns, such as accepting she/her/hers and they/them/theirs. Others change their acceptable pronouns throughout days, weeks, or months.

	~~Referring to someone with the incorrect pronouns is called [[misgendering]] and can result in negative effects in the person being [[misgendered~~]].

	~~== Using pronouns in sentences ==~~
	* She—'''She''' went to the store, bought '''herself''' some of '''her''' favorite soup, and returned a wallet that was not '''hers'''.
	* He—'''He''' went to the store, bought '''himself''' some of '''his''' favorite soup, and returned a wallet that was not '''his'''.
	* They (singular)—'''They''' went to the store, bought '''themself''' some of '''their''' favorite soup, and returned a wallet that was not '''theirs'''.
