STUDY MATERIAL

What is a Pronoun?

English

A Pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun.

Pronouns make our sentences short, easy, and less repetitive.

Example

Rahul is a good boy.

He is helpful.

Instead of saying Rahul again, we use He.

हिन्दी

Pronoun (सर्वनाम) वह शब्द है जो संज्ञा (Noun) के स्थान पर प्रयोग किया जाता है।

सर्वनाम वाक्य को छोटा, सरल और सुंदर बनाता है।

उदाहरण

राहुल एक अच्छा लड़का है।

वह (He) मददगार है।
