What is a Pronoun?

In grammar, a pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that may be substituted for a noun or noun phrase.

Without pronouns, we’d have to keep on repeating nouns, and that would make our speech and writing repetitive, not to mention cumbersome. Most pronouns are very short words. Examples include:

• He
• She
• They
• It
• We
• Who

Ex: Eric Weihenmeyer is a blind mountain climber. (noun)
       He is a blind mountain climber. (pronoun)

Different types of pronouns:
Personal, possessive (my, your, his...), relative (who, which, that) etc.

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
-E.E. Cummings.




ZELDA - Echo Short Stories, page 5

It seems to me that growing up is a bit like waking up, bit by bit. You go along, dreaming, thinking you´re awake and that you understand how things are, and you´re seeing things clearly. And then something happens, or you read something, or someone says something to you, and you blink, and suddenly the world's more in focus than it was before, and you realise you haven't been properly awake at all.
