Think of it like this:
* Noun: The original word that names a person, place, or thing (e.g., "dog," "park," "table").
* Pronoun: A word that stands in for the noun, avoiding repetition (e.g., "he," "it," "they").
Here's an example:
* Original sentence: The dog barked at the cat.
* Sentence with pronoun: It barked at the cat.
In this example, "it" replaces the noun "dog." It refers back to the dog without repeating the word.
Key points about pronouns:
* They save space and make writing more concise.
* They help avoid repetition and make sentences flow better.
* They must agree with the noun they replace in number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine/neuter).
