CHAPTER VI
PERSONAL PRONOUN

Pronouns make up a small subcategory of nouns. The distinguishing characteristic of pronouns is that
they can be substituted for other nouns. For instance, if you’re telling a story about your sister Sarah, the
story will begin to sound repetitive if you keep repeating “Sarah” over and over again.
Sarah has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that Sarah wants to go to fashion school.

Instead, you can use the pronouns she and her to refer to Sarah.


Sarah has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to fashion school .

 Dr. Steven will visit Indonesia in June. He will be the keynote speaker in this International
conference.
 You need to take her home now.
 I believe that this money is hers.
 That tall man is my brother.
 I bought myself a new phone.
Exercise

1. Harahap is in America . (He / She) is studying Economics.


2. Goerge is a nice man. I like (Her / Him).
3. I have typed my e-mail but I have not sent (it / me).
