• A pronoun is a word that stands in for a noun, often to avoid the need
to repeat the same noun over and over. Like nouns, pronouns can
refer to people, things, concepts, and places. Most sentences contain
at least one noun or pronoun.
• People tend to use “pronouns” to mean personal pronouns
specifically, but there are many other kinds of pronouns that are just
as important to English grammar. The words highlighted in bold below
are all pronouns.
I asked her if the headphones were hers, but she said they
belonged to someone else.
E X A M P L E S
It might rain tomorrow, but there isn’t much we can do about
that.
Which of them do you prefer? Help yourself to whichever you
like.
• The main function of pronouns is to replace nouns. Because
of this, they are used in sentences in similar ways to nouns.
• Like nouns, pronouns commonly serve as the subject of a
sentence, followed by a verb (a word expressing an action).
Pronoun antecedents
The antecedent of a pronoun is the
noun that it refers back to. It’s usually
mentioned in the text before the
pronoun, but sometimes it comes just
after it in a sentence. The antecedent
may also be something the person
you’re speaking to said.
Pronoun-antecedent agreement means ensuring that the pronoun you use
matches its antecedent in number, person, and gender.
