A. Look at the underlined words in the following texts:
a. Mr Ahmed is reading a book. It is very interesting.
b. Students of this school are very disciplined. They all stay in the hostel.
c. The game teacher asked players to go to the field in the afternoon. But nobody was there.

Note: Here 'It' refers to a book, 'they' refers to students and 'nobody' refers to players. Here it, they and nobody are called pronouns as they are used instead of nouns. In other words, pronouns are alternatives to nouns. When something or someone is already mentioned in a sentence you refer to them again by using a pronoun.

B. Look at the pronouns in the box:

Iyoushetheywenobodyitwho

These are called personal pronouns. Let us learn more about personal pronouns. Pronouns have 3 forms namely subjective, objective and possessive. Look at the table below and see different forms of pronouns.

sh, 'he' and 'she' normally refer to people, but they often refer to animals too.

Maruf's father is a businessman. _____ has been in business for about 15 years. Currently in his farm, there are 20 people working full time. _____ has three children who are going to school. Maruf is _____ second child, the youngest and eldest are both ______ daughters.

E. Let us use pronouns in their possessive forms. Look at the examples:

This is our school.

Look at the following sentences. 'Yours', 'hers', 'his' and 'ours' are also possessives.

This is my book. That is yours.
These toys are hers.
This bicycle is his.
This garden is ours.
