Replace this little phrase, the log, with it, since we know Who we're talking about, with the word he, and we can So the first sentence would still read Zach lifted the log, but then in the second sentence we can replace the name Zach, since we already know Mentioning Zach and the log when we know what we're talking about.

So, what a pronoun does is it allows you to take out the unnecessary noun when we're very certain we We don't need to sayĮmma and then Emma again.

We're going to start talkingīegins with the question, What are pronouns? Allow me to answer that questionīy way of a demonstration. Reflexive pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and indefinite pronouns. Is this sentence correct? If it is, is there any case that a singular pronoun can precede a plural pronoun? There are several types of pronouns aside from personal pronouns like he, she, it, and they. But in this sentence 'It is' is followed by a plural pronoun 'those' and then a plural 'noun'. In this 2nd sentence, Is it okay to have the singular pronoun 'It' and the plural pronoun 'those' closely?

And the word 'days' denotes a period of time. Is it wrong to use the pronoun 'where' after the noun 'days' in the above sentence? I am aware that 'where' denotes a place. These are our days where the term 'sharing' has become almost virtual. As I always believe, I hope I'll get a solution here.ġ. I just got stuck with doubts while forming sentences. It's wonderful to meet you all after a long time.
