STUDY MATERIAL

What is a Pronoun?

English

A Pronoun is a word that is used instead of a naming word (noun).

Pronouns help us avoid repeating the same name again and again.

हिन्दी

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

इससे एक ही नाम को बार-बार बोलने या लिखने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।

Example

English

Riya is a girl. She is happy.

Instead of saying "Riya" again, we use She.

हिन्दी

रिया एक लड़की है। वह खुश है।

बार-बार "रिया" कहने के बजाय She (वह) का प्रयोग किया गया है।
