Introduction

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. They help us avoid repeating the same names again and again in sentences.

Pronouns are used instead of names of people, animals, or things.

  • She likes ice cream.
  • It is a big dog.
  • We are friends.
  • They are playing.
  • You are my best friend.

Why Use Pronouns?

Pronouns make sentences shorter and clearer. They help us talk about people, animals, and things without repeating their names.

  • Rita is my friend. She is very kind.
  • The ball is red. It is shiny.
  • Tom and Sam are brothers. They play together.
