All pronouns have reflexive and possessive forms. Reflexive pronouns
refer back to a co-referential noun or pronoun, as in The children

themselves or We must remind ourselves to arrive early tomorrow.
Possessive forms occur either before a head noun in a noun phrase
(e.g. 
my book, your watch) or as head of a noun phrase (e.g. That cookie is
mine, Those glasses must be hers).

Indefinite pronouns, such as someone or none, occur only in the third
person and have only a single form. Unlike first and second person
pronouns, they do not change form in subject or object positions.
