This module provides you with activities that will help

you learn about the use of pronoun as replacement or
substitute to a noun. Activities in this module will also
teach you the proper way of using them in your day- to-
day.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

2. use pronouns in simple sentences correctly.

What I Know

Direction: This is a family picture. Let’s identify nouns in

the picture. Use your finger to point out and name every
noun that you see in the family picture.
 Lesson
1 Using Personal Pronouns
Nouns or name words are names of persons, places,
things, animals and events. They are important in
communication most especially in reading and writing.
With the use of nouns, it is easier to identify who is being
talked about. However, to avoid repetition of names,
personal pronouns are used. These words are used as
replacements or substitutes to nouns.
Example:
Mary Therese is hungry. Mary Therese wants to eat
fried chicken and rice. Mary Therese will eat in the
cafeteria.”
In the given example, what noun was repeated?
You are correct! Mary Therese has been repeated
three times. To avoid repeating the noun Mary Therese,
what personal pronoun could be used?

✓ This is the proper way of writing the sentences.

Mary Therese is hungry. She wants to eat fried

chicken and rice. She will eat in the cafeteria.

✓ The noun Mary Therese could be replaced with the

pronoun she. Instead of using Mary Therese more than
once, pronoun she is used.

In this lesson, you will learn what personal pronoun is

and its use in a sentence. You can also apply your
knowledge in using pronouns in your day- to- day. This
2
module provides you with activities that will help you learn
about pronoun.

Activities in this module will also teach you the proper

way of using them in your day to day life.

What’s In

Remember:
• Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns.
These include: I, you, we, she, he, they and it.
Read and observe the following sentences.
Examples:

Sheila wants to eat. She wants to eat.

noun pronoun

Gabriel is my friend. He is my friend.

noun pronoun

Apple is red. It is red.
