7. The Pronoun



          Read the following sentences :


          Mr Gupta is the warden of Udham Singh Hostel. Mr Gupta is loved by all the
          students. The students gave Mr Gupta a present.


          Now, read these sentences :

          Mr  Gupta  is  the  warden  of  Udham  Singh  Hostel.  He                        is  loved  by  all  the

          students. They        gave him     a present.


                                    ,
          So,  the  words  he they            and  him      are  used  in  place  of  Mr  Gupta  and  the
          students to avoid repetition. They are called pronouns                     .


            Words which are used in place of nouns are called pronouns.

          Examples :



                  1.  She     is walking with her       mother.
                  2.  He    went to play last evening.


                  3.  Give me       some milk in the glass.


                  4.  I  like Mahi because she          is a nice girl.

          Here, the words she         , her , he , me  ,  and she     are all pronouns.
                                                         I
