Exploring Types of Pronouns: Demonstrative, Interrogative, Reflexive, Intensive

The video tutorial covers four types of pronouns: demonstrative, interrogative, reflexive, and intensive. It explains how demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) are used to show objects, while interrogative pronouns (who, what, whom, which, whose) are used to ask questions.
