A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun or a group of words used as a noun. Pronouns are used to make your writing and speech more concise as well as to avoid repeating the same nouns over and over again. There are many different types of pronouns, including personal pronouns, reflexive pronouns, relative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and interrogative pronouns. This article will focus on personal pronouns.
