Pronouns
Pronouns
are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a
noun. Pronouns are words like: he, you, ours, themselves, some, each...
If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns. We would
have to say things like:
- Do
you like the president? I don't like the president. The president is too
pompous.
With
pronouns, we can say:
- Do
you like the president? I don't like him. He is
too pompous.
