Lesson 7: Pronouns



            Pronouns replace nouns.


            Example:      The girl can speak Nepali. The girl lives in Nepal. She is a Nepalese.
                          ‘She’ in the third sentence replaces the noun ‘girl’ in the first
                          two sentences.


            Pronouns must be of the same number, gender and person as the noun
            stands for.


            Example:      Students are outside. They are playing.


            The First Person and The Second Person Pronouns can be used by both
            male and female.


            Example:      The boy said, ‘I can speak English.’
                          The girl said, ‘I can write with both hands.’


            Singular Pronouns are:              I, you, he, she, it, me, him and her.
            Plural Pronouns are:                we, you, they, us and them.
