Pronouns for Class 6

Jump ahead to:

PRONOUN DEFINITION: Pronouns substitute nouns in a sentence. A pronoun can name people or things, objects, questions, reciprocate meaning, and a lot more. The word pronoun is more often known as a word “on behalf of a noun” which means something that stands in for a noun to avoid recurring nouns in writing or speech.

We can understand the pronoun more clearly through a speech Para written below:

Ajay is invited to the institute where Ajay will conduct a workshop in which Ajay would deliver a live lecture to discuss Ajay’s life hardship and struggle to motivate today’s youth.

Ajay is a noun (name). A pronoun performs a similar task, it is used in place of a noun.

We can see recurring use of Ajay, which either describes his qualities, what he would do, or various activities performed by him. And if we write, Ajay is invited to the institute where he will conduct a workshop in which he would deliver a live lecture to discuss his life hardship and struggle to motivate today’s youth.

Here, we are using ‘he’ a lot of times, which is a noun that indicates what he would do.

EXAMPLES:-

Rita went for a walk. She saw a dog on the street, so she went back to her house.
Tigers live in the forest. He works hard to take good care of his cubs, for which he needs to deal with a lot of hunters every day.
Cats are the most loving animal. They are being loved unconditionally.
Vijay daily goes to computer classes. Where he learns all the coding language.
