What is a pronoun?

Question

For my middle school homework.

Answer 1

It's the substitution of a noun already stated, like "he", "she", "it", "they", "we", and "their". (The last word is also known as a possessive pronoun, which means that it shows ownership of something, like "their homework.) Usually a pronoun refers to something already known, like in this sentence:

Gordon likes pizza. I like it too, but Suzie doesn't. She likes liver.

In that sentence, "I", "it", and "she" are all pronouns. "I" usually isn't clarified in a sentence or paragraph, because it is already known who is speaking. However, we can see that "it" refers to pizza and "she" refers to Suzie.

Even if there's an "it" or other pronoun and you can't tell what it is referring to, it is still a pronoun.

Answer 2

A pronoun is a small word that substitutes for a noun that has been previously identified. An example.

John went to the store. He bought three bags of chips.

John is the noun. He is the pronoun used to replace John, the previously identified noun, in the second sentence.

Some common pronouns are he, she, it, they, their, our, your, you.
