Pronouns-

• A pronoun is a word that is used in places of nouns to make the sentence shorter and peaceful to sound.
• For instance, in the sentences- Samay is a great friend. Samay always checks on me. In both, sentences the noun Samay is used, but to sound it better we can write the sentences as - Samay is a great friend and he always checks on me.
• So, the pronoun 'he' is used to make the sentences shorter in length.
• There are three different types of pronouns, -first-person pronouns, second-person pronouns, and third-person pronouns.
• When there is a talk addressed to our own selves, first-person pronouns are used. For the given example, the subject is talking about his colleague so the first-person pronoun 'mine' will be used.
• Third-person pronouns indicate talk between two people about the third person as the subject. In the second blank the holiday cottage which is the colleague's possession is used, so to address that the pronoun 'his' will be added.
