Teachers may also demonstrate on the board the difference that using pronouns can make, as well as showing children where their own writing could be improved with pronouns.

They, them and it can also be used to describe things.Ĭhildren are taught about nouns from Key Stage 1 onwards and will learn first about capitalising names of people and places (proper nouns).He, it, they, me, her, him, them and us.Other personal pronouns for people include: The word ‘she’ is an example of a personal pronoun, which is a word that can be used to replace the name of a place, person or thing. In this example, the pronoun ‘she’ takes the place of Alice (a proper noun), and ‘there’ takes the place of Cornwall (another proper noun). Whereas, if we were to use pronouns the sentence would read:
This sentence is using the proper nouns Alice and Cornwall. The sentences below demonstrate the difference between pronouns and proper nouns: What is a pronoun? Pronouns are words which take the place of a noun in a sentence, such as: she, he, them, they, there and it.
