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

A pronoun functions that same as a noun in a sentence, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it. Pronouns help sentences flow more smoothly and make them easier to say.

The most commonly used pronoun is a personal pronoun, a word that takes 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.

Examples:

Jack is coming for lunch. He should be here by noon.

Jill is coming for lunch. She will bring the baby with her.

Jack and Jill are coming for lunch. They are expected at noon.

Jack and Jill are coming for lunch and bringing the baby with them.

I got the old highchair out of the garage. It is for the baby.
