A pronoun is a word that takes the place on a noun for a person or a thing.

The noun that a pronoun replaces can be a word for an object (a thing).

Pronouns function in a sentence the same as nouns; as the subject of the sentence or a clause; and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

Mom and dad are coming. I told them to be here at two, but they are always a bit early.

  • The pronoun 'them' takes the place of the compound noun antecedent 'mom and dad' as the direct object of the verb 'told'.
  • The pronoun 'they' takes the place of the antecedent 'mom and dad' as the subject of the second part of the compound sentence.

The apples are locally grown. They look so good that I think I'll buy them.

  • The pronoun 'they' takes the place of the plural noun 'apples' (objects) as the subject of the second sentence.
  • The pronoun 'them' takes the place of the noun 'apples' as the direct object of the verb 'buy'.
