2. In our surroundings we can see different types
of things, places, animal, birds, etc. each of
these objects have different names.

animals etc called nouns
 Sita sings well
 Sita dances well
 Here the naming word is ‘Sita’. It is the noun in
two sentences .

5. Here, Sita is repeated in these two sentences.
In such cases we can use other words instead
of Sita (noun).
Thus avoiding repetition of nouns we can use
other words, called pronouns

6.  So again we may discuss the example
 Sita sings well.
 Sita dances well.
 Instead of Sita we use ‘She’
 So -----------is the pronoun for Sita.
