What is a pronoun?

Answer 1

A pronoun is a word, which we use instead of a noun, usually to avoid boring repetitions. For example, in the following sentence, I am going to swap the word "pronouns" for the word "them", simply because you will get bored if I fill each sentence with the word "pronoun". There are various forms of them.

Subject pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, You, They

Object pronouns: Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, You, Them

Possessive pronouns: Mine, Yours, His, Hers, Its, Ours, Yours, Theirs

Relative pronouns: Which, whose, that, where, when....etc...

I could go on, but I reckon you get the idea now. Ironically, the word "pronoun" is actually a noun.

A pronoun is word that replaces a noun, like he, she or it.

Answer 4

A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.

Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.

Personal Pronouns
A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender, and case.

Subjective Personal Pronouns
A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she," "he," "it," "we," "you," "they."

Answer 5

The part of speech that can take the place of a noun in a sentence and function as a noun. In the sentence "Mr. Rice spoke to Tom and offered him a job," "him" is the pronoun; it takes the place of "Tom."
