Grammar Subject pronouns Read the following sentences: Ruhi and her mother go Rohan plays football. The bus is grey. to the market. Rohan is a happy boy. The bus is big. Ruhi and her mother buy clothes. ‘Ruhi’, ‘mother’, ‘Rohan’ and ‘bus’ are naming words. The naming words in the sentences above have been repeated. This makes the sentences longer. Now, read the sentences given below. Ruhi and her mother go Rohan plays football. The bus is grey. to the market. He is a happy boy. It is big. They buy clothes. We use the words ‘they’, ‘he’ and ‘it’ in place of the repeated naming words. These words are called pronouns. Pronouns are words that we use in place of naming words.

We use pronouns in place of naming words. • W e do not use our names to talk about ourselves. We use the word ‘I’. ‘I’ is also a pronoun. It is followed by ‘am’ and not ‘is’ or ‘are’.
