Pronouns
A word that takes the place of a noun
Nouns ?A noun is:
a person
like “Luke” or “Boy”
a place
like “Ohio” or “school”
a thing
like “desk” or “yard”
Or
an idea
like “love” or “feelings”
A pronoun replaces a regular noun
…but remember, a pronoun IS still a noun - it is just a specific kind of a noun

How do they work?
Without pronouns, sentences would just not sound right.
Example: Luke went to Luke’s house and Luke turned off
Luke’s TV after Luke watched Luke’s TV.
Pronouns make this better:
Luke went to his house and he turned off his TV after he watched it.
Can you find (identify) the Pronouns?
He went to his mom’s store. HE HIS
It was a good place to stay. IT
No one was there. No one There
