What are pronouns?

In the English language and others, pronouns are words that replace nouns. Common pronouns include "he," "she" and "they." Pronouns often give sentences more variety so that nouns are not constantly repeated.

According to Grammar-Monster.com, several types of pronouns exist. Personal pronouns include "he," "she" and "they." Demonstrative pronouns include "this" and "these." Interrogative pronouns include "which" and "who," and possessive pronouns include "his" and "your." Intensive and reflexive pronouns, such as "itself" and "himself," refer back to a noun in the same clause.
