Words that take the place of nouns are called as pronouns.
They are used instead of nouns.
For example:
- He
- She
- It
- They
- You
- We
Pronouns help us to shorten our sentences. They prevent nouns from repeating.
For example:
- Sandra was cleaning the room. She started cleaning early in the morning.

The different types of pronouns are:

Personal pronouns
These are used to refer to people and sometimes animals.

For example:
- Are you coming for the trip?
Possessive pronouns
These pronouns are used to show ownership or possession.

For example:
- The book is mine.
Relative pronouns

For example: Each other, one another

- She gave me a pen.
