What are Pronouns?

Pronouns are like little helpers that help us talk about people and things without repeating their names all the time. We will learn when to use "he," "she," "they," and "it" in sentences.

 "He" - Talking About Boys and Men

When we talk about a boy or a man, we use the pronoun "he." Let's look at some examples:

This is Raj. He is a boy.

• Example 1: Mark is playing. He is happy.
• Example 2: Dad is cooking. He is a good cook.
• Example 3: The firefighter is brave. He helps people.

Remember, we use "he" for boys and men.

This is Reena. She is a Girl.

• Example 1: Emma is reading. She loves books.
• Example 2: Mom is driving. She is careful.
• Example 3: The teacher is smart. She teaches us.

Remember, we use "she" for girls and women.

"They" - Talking About More Than One Person or Mixed Groups

When we talk about more than one person or a group that has boys and girls, we use the pronoun "they." Look at these examples:They are friends.

• Example 1: Sarah and Mike are friends. They are playing together.

When we talk about things, animals, or objects, we use the pronoun "it." Here are some examples:

This is mikku. It is a dog.

• Example 1: The ball is red. It bounces.
• Example 2: The cat is cute. It purrs.

Remember, we use "I" when we talk about our own actions or feelings.

"We" - Talking About a Group Including Yourself

When you are part of a group and want to talk about something that includes you and others, you use the pronoun "we." Here are some examples:

We are going on a trip.

"You" - Talking to One Person or More

When you are speaking directly to someone else, whether it's one person or many, you use the pronoun "you." Look at these examples:

• Example 1: You are doing a great job! You should be proud. 
• Example 2: Are you coming to the play football tomorrow? You will enjoy it. 
• Example 3: You all need to finish your homework. You can play afterward.

Remember, we use "you" when addressing someone directly, regardless of whether it's a single individual or a group.
