Pronouns

Today we will learn about pronouns.

Before we get to pronouns, let’s review nouns!

Nouns are:

Person place

What is a pronoun?A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun or nouns.

common pronouns include:he , he r, him , I, it, m e , s he , the m , the y , us , and we

• The pronouns refer to different nouns

one girl or woman

= She or her

many people or things, sometimes including I (oneself)

= They, we, us, them

One thing

= it

one boy or a man

= he, him

Remember Pronouns replace a noun or nouns

• Remember common pronouns include he , he r, him , I, it, m e , s he , the m , the y , us , and we . Here are some examples:

• INSTEAD OF: Luma is a good athlete. • She is a good athlete. (The pronoun s he replaces

Lum a . )• INSTEAD OF: The beans and tomatoes are fresh-picked.• They are fresh-picked. (The pronoun the y

replaces the be a ns a nd to m a to e s . )
