A pronoun is a kind of word in a sentence. Words like "she," "him," "it," "something," and "those" are pronouns. We use pronouns when we don't know or don't need to say the exact name of a thing or person. For example, instead of saying "my brother" or the name of your brother, you might say "he" or "him." Instead of saying "the trees" or "the books" you might say "they" or "them."
In the sentence, "She gave it to them," the words "she," "it," and "them" are pronouns. |
