Words that take the place of nouns are called as pronouns.
They are used instead of nouns.
For example:
- He
- She
- It
- They
- You
- We
Pronouns help us to shorten our sentences. They prevent nouns from repeating.
For example:
- Sandra was cleaning the room. She started cleaning early in the morning.
