Pronouns

Pronouns are words which replace nouns which the reader or listener already knows you’re referring to. They include words such as:

  • he
  • she
  • it
  • mine
  • yours
  • myself
  • which
  • that

As in this example:

  • Hannah made her lunch this morning and took it to work. When she got there, she ate it with her colleagues.
    (her/Hannah – it/lunch – she/Hannah – there/work – she/Hannah – it/lunch – her/Hannah)
