1. Today, we will identify personal and indefinite
pronouns.
We already use pronouns in our writing and speaking.
Anytime we use a word that takes the place of a noun,
we are using a pronoun.
Examples : The following are all pronouns: he, she, they,
none, and which. There are lots more. As you can see,
pronouns are usually short words.
We use pronouns so that we don’t have to repeat a
word over and over again as we are speaking and
writing.
Personal Pronouns: A word that takes the place of one
or more nouns in a sentence, and refers to a person
place or thing.
Indefinite Pronoun: Words which replace nouns
without specifying which noun they replace.

2. Examples:
John and Susie went to the baseball game.
They went to the baseball game.
Everybody was at the game.
Sophie played with the toys all night.
She played with the toys all night.
Somebody played with the toys all night.

3. Pronouns must be either singular or plural, depending
on the noun they are replacing.
