I. Read the following carefully
Repetition of the same noun is not good for listening. So to avoid repetition we
replace the noun with new type of words. These words are called as pronoun. But
when we change any noun with a pronoun we have to notice a few things. A noun
can be placed as a subject ( at the beginning of any sentence ) or as object ( at the
last part of any sentence ). In both case we cannot change the noun with same
pronoun. Because it cause grammatical error. This following table will help you how
to choose any pronoun :
Singular or plural Male or female Position at subject Position at object
singular male he , his him
singular female she her
plural male or female we , they us , our , them
