Demonstrative, Interrogative, and Relative Pronouns

Demonstrative Pronouns
The kinds of demonstrative pronouns are this, that, such, those, and these, in order to identify or to point the nouns.
For examples:
·        That is incredible!
·        I will never forget this.
·        Such is in my belief.
·        Those books are mine.
·        These pens are yours.

Interrogative Pronouns
The kinds of interrogative pronouns are who, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, and whatever, for asking questions.
For instance:
·        Which one to see the dentist first?
·        Who wrote the novel Desiree?
·        Whom should you think we should invite?
·        What did she say?
·        Can you tell me whatever you have in your mind?
·        Could you please let us know about the things you take from my room?
·        Would you mind telling us whomever you will invite for the party?
·        Would you mind sharing whichever you have decided in your life?

Relative Pronouns
The examples of relative pronouns are who, who(m), which, that, what, etc. The function is to describe the nouns.
For instance:
·        The man plays golf.  He lives in Banjarmasin. → The man who/that lives in Banjarmasin plays golf.
·        The letter is for me.  You saw it.→ The letter which/that you saw is for me.

etc
