Mom let me taste the cookies that she made for the bake sale. (the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'mom' as the subject of the relative clause)

Examples:

• Jack is my brother. He goes to the state college. (the pronoun 'he' in the second sentence takes the place of the noun 'Jack')

Answer 5

No, the words 'you' and 'he' are personal pronouns, words that take the place of nouns for people in a sentence.

The pronoun you is the second person (takes the place of a noun for the one spoken to) pronoun, used for both singular and plural, both subject and object in a sentence.

The pronoun he is the third person (takes the place of a noun for a male, the one spoken about), singular pronoun, used as the subject of a sentence or a clause. The pronoun 'him' is the corresponding object pronoun that takes the place of a noun for a male.

Example uses:

You are a good friend. I can always trust you.

John is also a friend. He can also be trusted, I count on him.
