What is pronoun ?

In spoken and written English repetition is awkward. We do not use the nouns again and again. This repetition is avoided if we use the Pronouns of the Nouns.

➜ A Pronoun is a word used in place of a Noun.

Look at these sentences :

Dharvi arrived late. Dharvi had fever.

This sentence can be written in this way better.

Dharvi arrived late. She had fever.

I wrote a letter to my sister Ekta, she is a doctor.

In these sentences I and She are pronouns.
