Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun in a sentence. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it, and pronouns help sentences flow more smoothly and make them easier to say.
The most commonly used pronouns are personal pronouns, words that take the place of a specific person or thing.
The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.
Example sentences:
John is my brother. He is a student at the university.
My neighbor made the cake. She bakes a lot.
You may borrow the book. I think you will enjoy it.
Mom and dad are coming. I told them to be here at two, but they are always a bit early.
The apples are locally grown. They look so good that I think I'll buy them.
