Introduction To Personal Pronouns

A Pronoun is a word that is used in place of a Noun.

Before we start on these concepts, look at these examples:

In this example, the personal pronoun “he” is used to replace and refer to the proper noun “John.”

In this example, the personal pronoun “she” is used to replace and refer to the proper noun “Maria.”

In this example, the personal pronoun “it” is used to replace and refer to the common noun “This phone.”

We start this chapter on pronouns looking at three important properties personal pronouns show: the concept of point of view, number, and gender.
