PRONOUNS.

Name the nouns for which the words printed in italics are used in the

following sentences:—

1. The teacher went home when _he_ finished the lesson.

2. The mother kissed _her_ boy when _she_ received _him_.

3. A baby was sleeping,

_Its_ mother was weeping

For _her_ husband was far on the wild raging sea.

A word used for a noun is called a =pronoun=.

By the use of the pronoun, a person or thing is referred to without

naming it, and the too frequent repetition of the same noun is avoided.
