Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition. There are several types of pronouns including personal pronouns like I, he, she; indefinite pronouns like anyone, everyone; definite pronouns like this, that; relative pronouns like who, which; interrogative pronouns like who, what; demonstrative pronouns like this, that; and reflexive pronouns like myself, ourselves. Pronouns help writing sound less repetitive by replacing nouns rather than repeating them in every sentence.
3. What is a pronoun ?
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. We use pronouns in our writing
so that we don’t sound repetitive. For example :-
Ram is very talkative. Ram is not listening the class. Ram’s handwriting is not
neat.
In the above sentences, you see that ram is repeated. Here we use pronoun as ‘he’
and ‘his’ now let’s see the sentence-
Ram is very talkative. He is not listening the class. His handwriting is not neat.
