Barusan saya membuka talkenglish.com dan disitu ada postingan yang menginformasikan daftar pronoun atau kata ganti bahasa Inggris. Jumlahnya cukup banyak yaitu 58 buah. Jika Anda belum memahami apa itu pronoun, silakan lihat artikel Pronouns atau kata ganti dalam bahasa Inggris.
58 pronoun yang ada di dalam postingan ini, tentu tidak tiruananya mutlak sebagai pronoun. Ada juga yang berfungsi sebagai kata sifat, kata keterangan, dan kata benda. Namun, tetap memiliki fungsi sebagai pronoun atau kata ganti.

Salah satu misalnya yaitu which yang memiliki fungsi sebagai pronoun dan adjective. Bagaimana which berperan sebagai pronoun dan bagaimana dia berperan sebagai adjective? Silakan lihat teladan diberikut ini:
Which sebagai adjective : The police which hit me is standing over there. (Polisi yang memukulku sedang bangun disana.)
Which sebagai pronoun : Which do you like? (Mana yang engkau suka?)
Lihat bahwa kalimat pertama berarti which memodifikasi noun. Ia memodifikasi police. Sedangkan kalimat kedua, which menggantikan noun, bukan memodifikasinya.
