Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repeating nouns. So, instead of saying Mary put Mary's pencil on Mary's desk then closed the door to Mary's classroom, you can say Mary put her pencil on her desk and then closed the door...
There are two important rules to remember when using pronouns. First, remember that pronouns must always refer to a specific noun in a previous discussion. In the example in the previous paragraph the pronoun HER refers to Mary. Secondly, remember that pronouns must agree in number, person, and gender with the noun they refer to.

A pronoun is a word that renames (takes the place of) another word (the antecedent). It not only must agree with its antecedent , but it must also clearly refer to the word it renames.If the pronoun doesn't clearly refer to its antecedent, you may cause confusion for your readers.if you confuse your readers (and it's not that hard to do!), your communication breaks down.
Subject: A word or phrase in a sentence that denotes the doer of the action, the receiver of the action in passive constructions, or that which is described or identified: (I, You, He, She, It, We, They)
Objects are those words that come at the end of prepositional phrases (among other things).
Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them
The only thing you need to know is that these forms can't be switched around. If the word is a subject, it must be a subject form; if it's an object . . . well, you get the idea.
Relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, that, and which.
