Pronouns: Replacing Nouns

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun to avoid repetition and make sentences smoother. Instead of saying 'Ahmed went to the market. Ahmed bought food,' we say 'Ahmed went to the market. He bought food.' Pronouns are essential for fluent and natural English. Personal pronouns refer to specific people or things and change form based on person (I, you, he/she/it, we, they), case (subject: I, he, she; object: me, him, her; possessive: my/mine, his, her/hers), and number (singular and plural). Subject pronouns perform the action (I run), while object pronouns receive the action (She called me). Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves) are used when the subject and object are the same person. Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) point to specific things. Interrogative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, what) are used to ask questions. Indefinite pronouns (everyone, someone, nobody, anything, each, all, both) refer to non-specific people or things.
