What is a Pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. It helps us avoid repeating the same noun over and over again. For example, instead of saying "Maria likes Maria's book," we can say "Maria likes her book." Pronouns make our sentences shorter and clearer.


Types of Pronouns:

There are several types of pronouns, including:

1. Personal Pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

2. Possessive Pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

3. Demonstrative Pronouns: this, that, these, those


Usage Examples:

1. She is my friend. (वह मेरी दोस्त है।)

2. They are going to the park. (वे पार्क जा रहे हैं।)

3. This is my book. (यह मेरी किताब है।)


Key Mistakes:

1. Using the wrong pronoun: "Him went to the store" should be "He went to the store."
2. Confusing "its" and "it's": "It's a nice day" means "It is a nice day," while "its" shows possession.
3. Forgetting to match pronouns with their nouns: "Everyone should bring their own lunch" is correct, but "Everyone should bring his or her own lunch" is more formal.

Understanding pronouns is important for clear communication in both written and spoken English!
