A word that takes the place of a noun

2. Nouns ? A noun is: a person like “Luke” or “Boy” a place
like “Ohio” or “school”
a thing
like “desk” or “yard” Or
an idea
like “love” or “feelings”

3. A pronoun replaces a regular noun
…but remember, a pronoun IS still a noun - it is just a specific kind of a noun

5. How do they work?
Without pronouns, sentences would just not sound right.
Example:
Luke went to Luke’s house and Luke turned off Luke’s TV after Luke watched Luke’s TV.
Pronouns make this better:
Luke went to his house and he turned off his TV after he watched it.
