Pronoun



    PRONOUN :--
 
   Definition:-- A pronoun is a word which is used in place of a noun.
   e.g.:--
     
      I, he, she, it, his, which, you, they, them etc.

  Note:--

 
    * Pronoun means for-a-noun.
    * It is used to avoid unneccesary repitition of a noun.
    * It always refers to a noun that precedes it.
    * The number,gender and person of the pronoun is the same as those of the noun it replaces.
   e.g.:--
 
   We may say ---

    * Ram is absent, because Ram is ill.
   But it is better to avoid the repitition of the noun ‘Ram’, and say---
    * Ram is absent,because he is ill.
