Pronouns
Grade 1 · English Language Arts · Grammar · Pennsylvania, USA
Lesson Summary
Learn words that take the place of nouns, like he, she, and they.
Explanation
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun so you do not have to say the same name over and over. Instead of saying 'Maria went to Maria's house,' you can say 'Maria went to her house.' Common pronouns are he, she, it, they, we, I, and you. Pronouns make your sentences shorter and smoother. Make sure the reader knows which noun the pronoun is replacing.
