Pronouns For Grade 3

What is a Pronoun?

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.

We don't have to say "Sarah is going to Sarah's house." 

We can say "Sarah is going to her house."

Pronouns are the superheroes of sentences—they save the day by stepping in!

Example:

Noun: "Tommy is playing with Tommy's dog."

Pronoun: "Tommy is playing with his dog.".

Let’s do some fun with pronouns;

Read the sentence and place the correct pronoun from given options.

1. Ruchi loves __________ mother very much.
   
   

2. Rishi is working on _________ homework.
   
   

3. Shubhangi  is playing with ________ toy car.
   
   

4. Nikita’s father brought chocolates. ________ is very happy,
   
   

5. Pradnya and Om are best friends. _______ go to school together.
   
   

6. Jui brought a new frock. _______ has red colour. 
   
   

Examples of Pronouns

These pronouns are used for people or things. 
Example: I, You, He, She, It, We, They.

Singular Pronoun and Plural Pronoun:

1. A singular pronoun is that word which can replace one person, thing or animal. It takes the place of a singular noun in a sentence.

Example: He is my Friend

2. A plural pronoun is that pronoun which is used for more than one person, thing or animal. It can take the place of a plural noun in the sentence.

Example: They are my Friends.

Fun Fact: 

• "I" always goes capitalized!
  Even when in the middle of the sentence
• The Word 'You' is Both Singular and Plural!
• Yes. The word "you" has been used even for one single person or, at times, a group of people. You can use this pronoun whether it is your best friend or an entire class listening to you, as you.
• Pronouns are name-replacers!
  Instead of "Emma likes cake," you can say "She likes cake."
  "She" is a pronoun—it replaces Emma!
• Pronouns shorten and smooth out sentences!
  Rather than "Max saw Max's cat," we say "Max saw his cat."
• Pronouns get used every day!
  Examples of words that are pronouns: he, she, it, you, we, they, me, us.
