A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. You use pronouns all the time. In fact, the word “you” is a pronoun!

When you talk about a group you are part of or yourself, you use the pronoun “we” or “I”. When you talk about your friends, members of your family or other people, you use the pronouns “he,” “she” and “they.” When you talk about things, you use the pronoun “it”.

Pronouns are used in place of nouns in a sentence so that you don’t have to keep repeating the noun. Spanish has many types of pronouns and they are often, but not always, used in a similar way as in English.
