Section outline

  • A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. Note this sentence: "Sarah asked William to lend Sarah William's book." This is awkward. To avoid this kind of repetition, we use pronouns. "Sarah asked William to lend her his book." 

    In this lesson, you will learn how to:

    1. distinguish between the seven different kinds of pronouns;
    2. find a pronoun's antecedent;
    3. find the person, gender, and number of a personal pronoun;
    4. know the difference between the different kinds of demonstrative pronouns.
