PRONOUN





               A.  DEFINITION OF PRONOUN


                              Pronouns  are  words  that  are  used  to  replace


                      people  or  objects.  Pronouns  generally  replace



                      nouns' position, subject, object or complement. So,


                      it can be concluded that pronouns replace people,


                      animals  and  objects.  Pronouns  are  words  that  are



                      used to replace nouns. These nouns can be people,


                      animals, places and abstract concepts. The purpose


                      of using pronouns can be due to many things, such


                      as making it shorter, a name not being mentioned



                      repeatedly in a sentence and the effectiveness of a


                      sentence.


               B.  FUNCTION OF PRONOUN



                              A pronoun must agree with the Noun it refers


                      to. Therefore, if the Noun is singular, the pronoun


                      must be singular; if the Noun is plural, use a plural



                      pronoun;  if  the  Noun  is  feminine,  use  a  feminine


                      pronoun, and so on.
