Congratulations! You have now learned how to replace nouns

pronoun.

shelf for it.

Remember, the noun chapter concluded with the following
review phrases and sentences: Maria swims, Maria’s bathing
suit, Anna loves Maria, and The gift is for Maria. We’ll now
conclude the pronoun chapter using the same examples except
with pronouns replacing the nouns. Keep in mind that pronouns
are always substitutes for nouns!

Subject Pronoun: She swims.
Possessive Pronoun: The bathing suit is hers.
Direct Object Pronoun: Anna loves her.
Object Pronoun with Preposition for: The gift is for her.
