pronoun.

A pronoun is used to avoid the repetition of same noun in succession.

Read the following examples:

1. Sourav lives in Kolkata. Sourav has Sourav’s own house.
2. Seema is an intelligent girl. Seema’s father is a doctor.

In the above sentences, Sourav and Seema are repeated many times. It makes the

sentences awkward. For removing the awkwardness, we can write these sentences in
another way.
Read the following examples:

1. Sourav lives in Kolkata. He has his own house.

2. Seema is an intelligent girl. Her father is a doctor.
