Week 11 _ Notes _ ATN
Pronouns:
The Pronoun takes the place of a Noun.
1. The Pronoun performs a similar function to the noun.
2. We use pronouns to avoid repetition.
E.g. Thembi plays a guitar. She practices it daily.
In this sentence, she stands in place of Thembi and it stands in place of the guitar.
3. Pronouns will change depending on their usage either as a subject or an object.
E.g. He likes to help others, but won’t allow others to help him.
