Opinions aside op a pronoun is:-

A pronoun takes the place of a noun. in a sentence. Pronouns are short words like 'it', 'she', 'he', 'you', 'we', 'they', 'us' and 'them'. They are used to describe either individuals or groups of people, rather than using their name or names.

Because there seems to be a fundamental disconnect about how people understand this basic concept. On the one hand, it's a grammatical construct. On the other hand, it's cats marrying dogs mark 2.

No, Antinoun is married to Unclenoun. Ergo the same applies to Antiverb.

A pronoun is a thing big people like to use. Once, long before Granny and Grandad were born, there were no pronouns. One day, there might not be any again.

You know, everything we say gets changed, over hundreds and thousands of years. I think Grandad is about a thousand years old. That's why he smells a bit sometimes.

You hear me say "he" there? And "you"? He and you are both pronouns. "You" means I don't need to say your name all the time, although actually I'd like to call you by your name because it's such a beautiful name.

You know your cousin James? She prefers to be a she, not a he.

You'll get to understand how we use pronouns, and, like all language during your life, you'll find it all changes quite often. Spelling and pronunciation - that's how words sound - change too.

One day, we might be able to talk just with our minds. Wouldn't that be cool?

Grandad will still be a bit smelly though, but we do love him.

I love you mostesterest though.

To the Moon and back!

Whilst I have a sneaky feeling that you could probably explain it at a post-graduate level, I will play along for shits and giggles.

It would appear conceptual understanding of personal pronouns are a key stage 2 expectation so more like 7 than 5.

There's some activities in that link, which will help you to check your understanding. If you get them all right then you get a golden apple and can pick any toy you'd like to play with, on the magic carpet.

A pronoun is a word that we use to replace other words in a sentence. It helps us avoid repeating the same words over and over again, which can get tiring and confusing.

Let's say you have a friend named Sarah. Instead of constantly saying "Sarah" in a conversation, you can use a pronoun like "she." For example, you could say "She went to the store" instead of "Sarah went to the store." This makes conversations smoother and easier to follow.
