When a name is too long to repeat, a smaller word can take its place.

These small words are called pronouns.

He” can take the place of a boy’s name. “She” can take the place of a girl’s name.

It” can take the place of things a tree, a cloud, a book.

They” can take the place of more than one person or more than one thing.

We” can take the place of you and someone else together.

You” can be one person, or many people at once.

Pronouns make sentences shorter and easier to say.

With pronouns, words flow gently and understanding becomes simple.
