Free Pronoun Finder

A pronoun takes the place of a noun. 'She,' 'he,' 'it,' 'we,' 'they,' 'this,' 'who' — these are all pronouns. The finder highlights every pronoun in your text, with sub-categories for personal, possessive, reflexive, demonstrative, and relative pronouns. For the original nouns they replace, see the Noun Finder; for the specific who/whom rule, our Who vs Whom guide covers it.

She told him that this was her favorite book. We hope you enjoy it too. They themselves wrote everything.

How the Pronoun Finder Works

Pronouns form a small, closed class. The finder uses a complete list of English pronouns across all categories: personal (I, you, he, she, it, we, they), object (me, you, him, her, it, us, them), possessive (my, your, his, her, its, our, their, mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs), reflexive (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves), demonstrative (this, that, these, those), and relative (who, whom, whose, which, that).

Rules & Tips

1Personal pronouns refer to people or things

Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they. Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.

2Possessive pronouns show ownership

Determiners: my, your, his, her, its, our, their (used before nouns). Independent: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs (stand alone).

3Reflexive pronouns end in -self/-selves

Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Used when the subject and object are the same.

4Demonstrative & relative pronouns

Demonstrative: this, that, these, those. Relative: who, whom, whose, which, that (introduce relative clauses).

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Instead of 'Sarah said Sarah was tired,' we say 'Sarah said she was tired' — 'she' is a pronoun.
