Answers
Until Joe became too tired and had to stop, he kept pace with his brother as they were running around the track.
The given sentence talks about the proper noun Joe, and the pronoun that is done with ‘his brother’.
There is a term called pronoun as parts of speech.
It is used in place of the noun to indicate either the participants in the discourse or someone or something mentioned elsewhere as a part of the discourse.
Explanation:
It had turned out that Joe was feeling immensely tired. He hence had no way but to pause. He was trying to run with this brother and keep at his pace. Here Joe is a proper noun. His brother is the pronoun. So this is used when one tries to talk about a person. A bit of vague it is since we cannot understand which pronoun is for which individual in this sentence.
