Pronouns
Grade 3 · English Language Arts · Grammar · North Carolina, USA
Lesson Summary
Pronouns take the place of nouns so you do not have to repeat the same name over and over.
Explanation
Instead of saying 'Sara went to Sara's locker and Sara got Sara's books,' you can say 'Sara went to her locker and she got her books.'
