Pronouns are words that replace nouns, such as:
* I, me, you, he, she, it, we, they, this, that, these, those, mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs
Let's look at an example of how "told" is used:
* The teacher told the students to be quiet.
In this sentence, "told" is the verb, describing the action the teacher is performing.
If we were to use a pronoun instead of "teacher," the sentence might look like this:
* She told the students to be quiet.
In this case, "she" is the pronoun that replaces the noun "teacher."
