What substitutes a pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun or noun phrase. So, to substitute a pronoun, you need to use a noun or noun phrase instead.

Here's an example:

* Original sentence: "The dog wagged its tail."

* Substitute with a noun: "The dog wagged the tail."

Here are some other ways to substitute pronouns:

* Use a specific noun: Instead of "he," you could say "John."

* Use a descriptive phrase: Instead of "they," you could say "the people in the room."

* Use a noun clause: Instead of "it," you could say "what happened yesterday."

Let me know if you have a specific pronoun in mind and would like to see more substitutes!
