Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. In order to use pronouns, we must have a noun for it to replace. This noun is called the antecedent of the pronoun and must be placed earlier in the passage than the pronoun. There are several types of pronouns, and we categorize them by the parts of a sentence they replace.<\/p>\n
This type of pronoun replaces the subjective of the sentence.<\/p>\n
