    What Is A Pronoun?: Here's A Tip

    Uploaded by

    Florie Fe Rosario Ortega
    Pronouns are a subcategory of nouns that can be substituted for other nouns to avoid repetition. For example, instead of repeatedly saying "Sarah" in a story, the pronoun "she" can be used to refer to Sarah. Using pronouns like "she" and "her" helps refer clearly to a noun that has already been introduced, like the person Sarah, without sounding like multiple people are being discussed.

    What Is a Pronoun?

    Pronouns make up a small subcategory of nouns. The distinguishing


    characteristic of pronouns is that they can be substituted for other
    nouns. For instance, if you’re telling a story about your sister Sarah,
    the story will begin to sound repetitive if you keep repeating “Sarah”
    over and over again.

    Sarah has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that Sarah wants to go to
    fashion school.

    You could try to mix it up by sometimes referring to Sarah as “my


    sister,” but then it sounds like you’re referring to two different
    people.

    Sarah has always loved fashion. My sister announced that Sarah wants to go
    to fashion school.

    Instead, you can use the pronouns she and her to refer to Sarah.

    Sarah has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to
    fashion school.
