Introduction to Pronouns

Spanish subject pronouns are used in a similar way as in English.

The pronoun se is used for: simple reflexive, dative of interest, reciprocal reflexive, much, much more.

A possessive adjective accompanies a noun. A possessive pronoun replaces a noun. Example:
Su compañia es más importante que la mía. - His firm is more important than mine.

A demonstrative pronoun replaces a noun completely. Example:
Mi carro es mejor que aquél. - My car is better than that one.

The two most common relative pronouns are: que (who, which, that) and quien (who).

Spanish indefinite pronouns are unspecific and are used in place of nouns.
