What is the term for pronouns that indicate specific people or things?

1. Definite Pronouns

2. Concrete Pronouns

3. Indefinite Pronouns

4. Abstract Pronouns

The correct answer is: Definite Pronouns

The correct answer is "Definite Pronouns." This term refers to pronouns that refer specifically to known entities, enhancing clarity in communication by identifying particular people or things. For example, pronouns like "he," "she," "it," and "they" can denote specific individuals or objects that are already understood in the context of the conversation or text. The other terms, while they describe different categories of pronouns, do not accurately capture the concept of indicating specific entities. Concrete pronouns are not an established grammatical category; they are likely mixed up with concrete nouns that refer to tangible objects. Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific entities, such as "someone" or "anyone," which do not indicate particular identities. Abstract pronouns are not a recognized grammatical classification either, as abstract concepts are typically conveyed through nouns rather than pronouns.
