CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest 1: Reading Language and Literature Practice Test

Pronouns are grouped by the job they do in a sentence, so the material organizes them into distinct kinds based on function. Seven different kinds are identified: personal pronouns (replacing people or things as subjects or objects), possessive pronouns (showing ownership), demonstrative pronouns (pointing to something like this or that), interrogative pronouns (used to ask questions, like who or what), relative pronouns (linking clauses, like who or which), reflexive pronouns (referring back to the subject, like himself), and indefinite pronouns (referring to nonspecific people or things, like anyone). Counting these categories given in the material adds up to seven, which is why seven is the best answer. If you’ve seen lists that merge or split certain categories differently (for example, treating intensive forms or reciprocal forms separately), those would change the total, but the material in question specifically identifies seven distinct kinds.
