Copy the definition: Pronouns are words that take the place of a noun or other pronouns.

Most-but not all-pronouns clearly refer to another word in the sentence or in a preceding sentence. The word the pronoun replaces is called its antecedent.

Read the example, and discuss the pronouns the antecedents.

Example: Mr. Brown walked in the room when he saw his sister. They left it and went to the cafeteria. It was down the hall and next door to the business office.
