Introduction to Pronouns

A pronoun is a part of speech that can be used to replace a noun. There are many different kinds of pronouns: personal, reflexive, demonstrative, relative, interrogative, and indefinite.

Case is the way pronouns are used in a sentence, and this can be subjective, objective, or possessive. Choosing between the subjective and objective case can be confusing, for example, the choice of who or whom. Pronouns always clearly refer to their antecedents, the noun they represent and they also agree with their antecedents in number and gender. If you can use pronouns with confidence, your writing will be clearer and easier to read.
