Step 1: Underline the Pronouns in the Paragraph
The paragraph provided is:
> My father is a policeman. He works to make our area safe. He loves me so much. When he returns home from work, he spends time playing with me. Reading is his hobby. Sometimes we go for a picnic. He also brings toys for me. I love and respect him.

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. In this paragraph, the pronouns are:
-
He (refers to "my father")
-
Me (refers to the speaker)
-
His (possessive form referring to "my father")
-
We (refers to the speaker and others)
-
I (refers to the speaker)
-
Him (refers to "my father")
