Explanation:
A
pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. It can refer to people, places, things, or ideas. In the sentences provided, the pronouns are underlined as they replace specific nouns or refer back to previously mentioned nouns.
-
Possessive pronouns (e.g., his, her, my, their) show ownership.
-
Subject pronouns (e.g., we, she, they) act as the subject of a sentence.
-
Object pronouns (e.g., us, them) act as the object of a verb or preposition.
By identifying these pronouns, we ensure that the sentences maintain clarity and coherence while avoiding repetition of nouns.
