Explanation:
A
pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Common pronouns include personal pronouns (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they), possessive pronouns (e.g., my, your, his, her, its, our, their), and reflexive pronouns (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself).
In each sentence, I identified and underlined the pronouns based on their function in the sentence. For example:
- "They" in sentence 1 is a plural pronoun referring to a group of people.
- "Her" in sentence 2 is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership.
- "Their" in sentence 6 is a plural possessive pronoun referring to multiple people.
This exercise helps reinforce understanding of pronouns and their roles in sentences.
