Pronouns.

 We use pronouns to replace names. Sometimes, we use the same name repetitively in our conversation/writing. To avoid this, we use pronouns.

A page from First Grammar Book for Children (W. Walker & Sons, 1900)

For example: 

Dhaniyah is 10 years old. Dhaniyah likes to cook.

Dhaniyah is 10 years old. She likes to cook.

Let's have a look at another example:

Aqil, Sharif and Omar are friends. Aqil, Sharif and Omar like to play Beyblade.

Aqil, Sharif and Omar are friends. They like to play Beyblade.

	Pronoun
😎	I
👨	he
👧	she
😎👧	we
😎👉   👦👧	they
👘	it

---

Sometimes, we use possessive pronouns to show ownership. Who owns this? Who owns that?

For example:

1. That is Qistina's book. The book is hers.

2. Danial writes with that pencil. The pencil is his.

3. This bag belongs to you. It's yours.  (note that I replace the 'bag' with 'it')

4. That's my chocolate. It's mine.

😎	mine
👨	his
👧	hers
😎👧	ours
😎👉   👦👧	theirs
