English Pronoun Worksheet 2 for Class 3 Kids

Pronouns

Pronouns are defined as words that can be used as a ‘placeholder’ for nouns, that is we can use pronouns in place of a noun. Pronouns are traditionally a part of speech in grammar, but many modern linguists call it a type of noun. In English, pronouns are words such as me, she, any, his, them, herself, each other, it, what and many more .

They are utilized so that we don’t have to repeat the same nouns again and again in our writing. Our writing and speech is much smoother when we use pronouns .

These are often used to take the place of a noun, to avoid repetition of the noun. This means that the two words need to agree in number, gender, and case, or the sentence won’t make sense!
