1. PRONOUNS
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Pronouns are used so that our language is not cumbersome with the same nouns being repeated over and over in a paragraph. Some examples of pronouns include I, me ;mine, myself; she; her; hers; herself; we; us; ours and ourselves. You may have noticed that they tend to come in sets of four, all referring to the same person, group or thing.
- He; him; his and himself, for example, all refer to a male person or something belonging to him
- They; them; theirs and themselves all refer to a group or something belonging to a group, and so on.
The truth is that there are many different types of pronouns, each serving a different purpose in a sentence.
