PRONOUNS:

 Pronouns are used instead of a noun in a sentence. They act exactly like nouns. So, instead of saying "Bob went fishing", you could say "He went fishing".

Here are some commonly used pronouns: I, me, my, mine, myself, you, your, ours, yourself, he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its, we, us, our, they, them, their, this, these, who, whom, whose, which, that, one, ones, everybody, anyone

Let's see pronouns in some sentences:

1. They went to the store.

("they" is the subject. Who went to the store? THEY did)
2. Bob gave the dog to her.

("her" tells who. Who did Bob give the dog too? HER)
3. She thought the test was on Tuesday.

("She" is the subject. Who thought the test was on Tuesday? SHE did)
4. That dog is mine.

("mine" tells who's dog it is. Who's dog is it? MINE)
