Pronoun

substituted for a noun or noun phrase, which once replaced, is known as the
pronoun’s antecedent. Pronouns are used so that our language is not cumbersome

word that replaces a noun in a sentence.
Some examples of pronouns include I, me, mine, myself, she, her, hers,
herself, we, us, ours and ourselves.
