Pronouns
Pronouns are words that substitute a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun.
We use pronouns to communicate more quickly and to avoid being too repetitive.
Do you like the boss? I don't like the boss. The boss is very mean.
Using pronouns, we can say:
Do you like the boss? I don't like her. She is very mean.
