Step 1
A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.
-
Step 2
Pronouns usually come after the noun they are replacing, as in the sentence:
Sally reached down for him, and as she did her hair fell in front of her face. -
Step 3
Pronouns are important because they clear up a sentence and keep our language from being bogged down and repetitive. They are only useful if the words they replace, the antecedent, are clearly identified.
