PARTS OF SPEECH

( Words are divided into different kinds, called parts of speech, they are eight in number )

·         PRONOUN : ( A word is used instead of a noun )

1.      Pramod went to town.
2.      Pramod nought a pen.
3.      Pramod liked the pen.
4.      Pramod wrote a test with that pen.
Here, we are repeating the nouns.  Pramod and pen a few times.  Such repetition sounds awkward and ugly.  So, instead of pramod and pen we use other words.  (He, it)  such words are called pronouns.  Now, the right expression will be as follows.
1.      Pramod went to town.
2.      He bought a pen.
3.      He liked it.
