Words Used in Place of Nouns (Pronouns)
Read these sentences.
1. On a mountain lives a fairy. She has beautiful wings.
2. Johny spots an old lady. He tells Sara, “Look.”
The word ‘She’ (in 1) is used in place of the noun ‘fairy’.

The words ‘She’ and ‘He’ used in place of nouns are called pronouns.
Words like ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘they’ and ‘it’ are all pronouns.
Examples: 1. Johny and Sara get a teddy bear. They are happy.
2. The teddy bear is a gift. It is huge.

are interesting.
