A pronoun is a word used to replace a noun, typically used to avoid repetition. There are also singular and plural pronouns, and the pronoun rules differ depending on whether the pronoun is used as the subject (e.g., “she,” “he,” “they,” “who”) or the object of the sentence (e.g., “her,” “him,” “them,” “whom”).

Example: “I hypothesize that students reading online textbook pages will score lower on a multiple-choice test than will students reading a traditional textbook.”

The pronoun “I” takes the place of the author’s name.
