What is a pronoun?
We will start learning about
pronouns from the basics - the
pronoun definition. A
pronoun is a word that substitutes the noun in a sentence. Its main purpose is to avoid repetitions. For example, if you want tell a story about your friend Mike, you will use
pronouns to not repeat his name all the time.
Pronouns make it easier for others to understand what are you saying. The
pronouns are an important aspect when
learning English. Use our
pronoun app and this lesson to learn
pronouns!

types of pronouns. The
personal pronouns are those that refer to a thing or a person. There are different forms of
