The essence of studying nouns and pronouns is gaining the ability to know what they are and how to use them.

A noun is a word for a person a place, or a thing. For example:

a person: mother, Moses, baby, friend, neighbor, hero, uncle.

a place: country, island, Paris, neighborhood, territory, harbor.

a thing: glove, house, puppy, hamburger, Oreo, cloud, street.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

There are many types of pronouns, so we'll use examples of personal pronouns.

Personal pronouns take the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.

Example uses:

When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. (the pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'George' in the second part of the sentence)

How are you? (the pronoun 'you' takes the place of the noun/name of the person spoken to)

I saw the posting for this job and I knew it was right for me. (the pronouns 'I' and 'me' take the place of the noun/name of the person speaking)

I saw the posting for this job and I knew it was right for me. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'job' in the second part of the sentence)

The Browns came to visit and brought the baby with them. (the pronoun 'them' takes the place of the noun 'Browns' in the second part of the sentence)

Jack and Jill came to visit and brought the baby with them. (the pronoun 'them' takes the place of the nouns 'Jack and Jill' in the second part of the sentence)
