    Pronoun Reference
    When they published the last Harry Potter book, our
    local store had a big party with special food and
    games. I went there with some friends. We dressed
    up as characters in the books and got prizes. The
    next week our picture was in the local newspaper
    you can see it here! They started selling the book at
    midnight and everyone started reading
    it
    immediately.
    A pronoun is a word that refers to a noun or a noun
    phrase already mentioned.
    There = local store
    We = I and some friends = we (our)
    Our = from the previous we used before
    It = picture
    It = the book
