Fascinating Fact:

In stories, pronouns make characters feel more real because readers focus on what they do, not their names.

In KS2 English, pupils learn that pronouns take the place of nouns to make sentences easier to read. They help writers avoid repeating names and improve sentence flow.

  • Pronoun: A word used instead of a noun, such as he, she, it, or they.
  • Antecedent: The noun that a pronoun refers to or replaces in a sentence.
  • Possessive Pronoun: A pronoun that shows ownership, like mine, yours, or theirs.
What is a pronoun in English grammar?

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. Instead of saying "Alice went to Alice's house," we say "Alice went to her house."

Why do writers use pronouns?

Writers use pronouns to make sentences sound smoother and less repetitive. They help writing flow and keep the reader’s focus on the action.

Can you give examples of pronouns?

Examples include he, she, we, it, they, and them. These words replace nouns to make writing clearer and more natural.
