Pronoun Difination

Table of Contents

A pronoun is a word that is used to replace or substitute a noun in a sentence. Pronouns are employed to avoid repetition and make sentences less cumbersome. Common pronouns include words like “he,” “she,” “it,” “they,” “we,” and “you,” which are used to refer to people, things, or concepts without explicitly stating them each time. Pronouns help in creating clear and concise communication by referring back to previously mentioned nouns or introducing new ones.
