Pronouns
A pronoun takes the place of a noun or words acting like a noun.
Without pronouns, sentences would be long, boring, and repetitive. Pronouns also have several types. Below are the personal pronouns.
| First Person | I, me, *my, mine | we, us, our, ours |
| Second Person | you, your, yours | you, your, yours |
| Third Person | he, she, it, him, her, his, her, hers, its | they, them, their, theirs |
Pronouns in bold are called possessive.
Pronouns reduce repetition.
For example:
- Jack and Jane eat dinner at a restaurant. They think it serves the best pasta.
Without pronouns, the sentence would look like this:
- Jack and Jane eat dinner at a restaurant. Jack and Jane think the restaurant serves the best pasta.
