L3_S20_Sentences with Pronouns

A pronoun is used in place of a noun. It substitutes the noun. Pronouns can be used in singular and plural forms. The verb used in the sentence can be replaced in a sentence by an appropriate pronoun to avoid repetition.

Pronouns are generally classified into three main kinds such as first-person pronouns, second-person pronouns, and third-person pronouns.

Person	Singular Pronoun	Plural Pronoun
First Person Pronoun	I, Me	We, Us
Second Person Pronoun	You, Your	You
Third Person Pronoun	He, She, It, Him, Her	They, Them, Their
