N.B.I. All these pronouns except personal, relative and reflexive are also used as adjectives. Hic puer = this boy, Quem librum legistï? = which book did you read?, mulier ipsa = the woman herself, the very woman.....

II. Relative and Interrogative Pronouns are the same except in the nominative sing. case- and neuter acc. sing.

N.B.

qui, quae, quod relative
quis, quid, interrogative

III. Some of the words are new but fit well into this list so I have included them. These are starred words. Please memorize these. Once again I am not asking that you memorize the forms of these words, Knowing the nominative forms will allow you to recognize the other forms and as we use them and see them in readings, you will learn the forms without memorizing them. Do remember two changes in qui, quae, quod and quis, quid...that the genitive and dative sing. form begin with -cu...(cuius, cui).
