Rh  Demonstrative Pronouns, which indicate persons or things without naming or describing them; as, illĕ that man, ĕădem hastă the same spear. Relative Pronouns; as, quī who, which. Interrogative Pronouns; as, quĭs? who? Indefinite Pronouns; as, ălĭqŭis someone, anyone.

Pronouns are used either as Nouns, standing alone, or as Adjectives, agreeing with a Noun expressed or implied. But Personal Pronouns are used only as Substantives; Possessive Pronouns only as Adjectives.

§ 47. I. The Personal Pronouns are: First Person, ĕgŏ I, Plur. nōs we; Second Person, tū thou, you, Plur. vōs you, ye.

The Oblique cases are also used as Reflexives, answering to the English myself, thyself, or yourself, ourselves, yourselves, especially with ipsĕ § 339.

Third Person.—Latin has no Personal Pronoun corresponding to English he, she, they. It is either omitted altogether, or one of the Demonstrative Pronouns, e.g. ĭs, is used instead. Thus, I saw him is vīdī ĕum, literally, I saw that-man.
