Examples: in / on / under / against / after / with / by

The main groups of pronouns are personal pronouns ( I you he she it one we they... and their object forms or possessive forms, me, her ... and mine, hers), demonstrative pronouns (this, that etc) and relative and interrogative pronouns (who, which etc.).
Personal Pronoun correct answers refers to the one speaking, the one spoken to, or the one spoken about

those). This, these, that, those
Relative Pronoun correct answers In their most common usage, relative pronouns introduce a relative clause - either as a subject (who, which, that) , or as a direct object (whom, which, that), or in the context of a prepositional phrase (to whom, with which, by which, etc) or
They are called "relative" because in a declarative sentence, they relate to a noun that has normally just been mentioned.
