A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
A pronoun can function as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Some pronouns are subject pronouns only.
--The subject pronouns are: I, we, he, she, they, and who.
Some pronouns are object pronouns only.
--The object pronouns are: are: me, us, him, her, them, and whom.
All other pronouns can function as either a subject or an object in a sentence.
A pronoun must match the noun that it is replacing in number (singular or plural) and gender (male, female, or neuter).
Example sentences for each type of pronoun:
