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.
