A Note on What Makes This an Infographic
A list of pronouns with their categories is a grammar reference sheet. An infographic about pronouns explains the logic: why do we have different types of pronouns, what job does each type do in a sentence, and how does choosing the wrong type create confusion? Show the pronoun doing its job, not just sitting in a list.
Objective
Create a categorization infographic in Canva that organizes the types of pronouns in English, showing what each type replaces or refers to, and how it works in a sentence.
Content to Cover
Opening Anchor
A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition. Without pronouns, every sentence would repeat the full noun: “Ahmed went to Ahmed’s classroom and Ahmed opened Ahmed’s book.” Pronouns make language efficient and natural.
The Types of Pronouns
Design one panel per type:
Personal Pronouns - Replace the names of people or things.
- Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
- Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
- Example: “Sara finished her assignment. She submitted it on time.”
Possessive Pronouns - Show ownership, standing alone without a noun.
- Mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs
- Example: “This pen is mine. Yours is on the table.”
- Note: Distinguish from possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her) which come before a noun.
Reflexive Pronouns - Refer back to the subject; used when the subject and object are the same person.
- Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves
- Example: “She made the infographic herself.” / “He hurt himself playing cricket.”
Demonstrative Pronouns - Point to specific things, near or far.
- This, that (singular); these, those (plural)
- Example: “This is my book. Those are yours.”
Interrogative Pronouns - Used to ask questions.
- Who, whom, whose, which, what
- Example: “Who left this bag here?” / “Which do you prefer?”
Relative Pronouns - Connect a clause to a noun, giving more information about it.
- Who, whom, whose, which, that
- Example: “The teacher who marked our papers arrived late.”
Indefinite Pronouns - Refer to non-specific people or things.
- Everyone, someone, anyone, no one, everything, something, nothing, each, few, many
- Example: “Everyone passed the exam. Nobody failed.”

- Opening anchor statement at the top.
