Pronoun

Pronouns are used to replace Nouns to avoid monotony of repetition.
Read the following passage-
Komal is a good girl.Komal reads in class 4. Komal is hardworking. Komal goes to school daily.   One day Komal bought a bag. The bag was very beautiful. Everyone likes Komal's bag.
How did you like reading the passage? Didn't you feel bored by reading the words Komal and bag again and again?
Now read the same passage again.
Komal is a good girl. She reads in class 4. She is hardworking. She goes to school daily. One day she bought a bag. It was very beautiful.Everyone likes her bag.

  • A Pronoun has the same position as a Noun in a sentence.
  • Like a Noun, a Pronoun is also a subject of a sentence and may have a direct object or indirect object in a sentence. Example -She is dancing.
  • Like a noun a pronoun is also an object of a sentence. Example, she is also as happy as them. They are glad to see her.
  • Like a noun , the pronoun should also agree with verb in a substance.
  • A pronoun also has a number ( I, you , she he, it- singular, we, you, they- plural).
  • A pronoun also has a gender. He  his- Masculine; she, her, hers- Feminine; I, you, we, it, can be both; till it is specified, they are masculine or feminine.
