==Lesson==
A '''pronoun ''' is a word that is a substitute for a noun (for example: [[αυτος]] ["he"] may replace the noun [[`ο]] [[ανθρωπος]] ["the man"]).
The replaced phrase is known as the antecedent of the pronoun.
The masculine and feminine forms of the indefinite and interrogative pronoun are the same, and they decline as follows:
* {{Greek Noun|τις (Nom, Sing)* |τινος (Gen, Sing)* |τινι (Dat, Sing)* |τινα (Acc, Sing)* |τινες (Nom, Plu)* |τινων (Gen, Plu)* |τισιν (Dat, Plu)* |τινας (Acc, Plu)}}
Neuter forms of the indefinite and interrogative pronoun decline as follwows:
* {{Greek Noun|τι * |τινος * |τινι * |τι * |τινα * |τινων * |τισιν * |τινα}}
===Relative pronouns===
The words '''who''' and '''that''' and '''which''' when linking an antecedent to a new clause, are called relative pronouns.
Relative The form of relative pronouns is closely linked to the endings of second declension masculine and neuter nouns, and first declension feminine nouns. They can be noted easily because they all have a rough breathing mark, and an accent. The relative pronoun takes the same gender and number as its antecedent. The case of the relative pronoun is governed by the function that the relative pronoun takes.
