PRONOUNS

INTRODUCTION:

​

• Pronouns are the words that are used in place of nouns. In simpler words , we use pronouns to avoid repetition of certain names and other words.
• Pronouns, whether personal, possessive, reflexive, demonstrative, interrogative, relative, or indefinite, play a crucial role in making language and enhancing clarity. They're the unsung heroes of our sentences, quietly doing the main job to keep our conversations smooth, concise, and engaging.

​

Examples Of Pronouns:

• These books are mine.
• It is raining outside.
• What do you want from me ?
• I called you yesterday to join us.

Whether they're personal, possessive, or asking questions, pronouns make our sentences flow better and sound less repetitive. They're the unsung heroes of communication, quietly making our words sound good and making sure we don't get tangled up in too many names. So, next time you talk or write, give a nod to those little words that do a big job—pronouns!
