Replace the noun with a personal pronoun
Key Notes:-
What Are Personal Pronouns?
- Personal pronouns are words that take the place of a noun. They help avoid repeating the same nouns over and over in a sentence.
- Examples of Personal Pronouns:
- Subject Pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
- Object Pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
When to Replace a Noun with a Personal Pronoun
- Subject Pronouns replace nouns that are doing the action.
- Example: “Sarah is reading.” → “She is reading.”
- Object Pronouns replace nouns that receive the action.
- Example: “John kicked the ball.” → “John kicked it.”
Examples:
Noun | Replaced with Pronoun |
---|---|
Sarah is dancing. | She is dancing. |
The cat is cute. | It is cute. |
Tom and I went to school. | We went to school. |
The boys are playing. | They are playing. |
Key Rules:
- Replace a singular noun (one person, place, or thing) with a singular pronoun like he, she, or it.
- Replace a plural noun (more than one) with a plural pronoun like they or we.
Practice:
- “The dog barked at Tim.”
Replace with a pronoun: “It barked at him.” - “Maria and Lucy went to the park.”
Replace with a pronoun: “They went to the park.”
