00:00Hi kids, today we will learn about words that are used in place of naming words or nouns.
00:10We call them pronouns.
00:13So let's start.
00:17We already know what are naming words and the types of naming words, that is, common
00:23naming words and exact naming words.
00:27Let's revise them once again, then learn about pronouns.
00:34I am a girl.
00:37In this sentence, girl is a naming word, as it refers to a person, and it is a common
00:44naming word, as it does not refer to a particular person.
00:49What about the word I, in this sentence?
00:54The word I is used for a person, where it's not a naming word, but is used in place of
01:01a naming word.
01:04So in this sentence, I is used in place of a naming word, and girl is itself a naming
01:12word.
01:13Such words which are used in the place of a naming word are called pronouns.
01:20Let's learn more about pronouns.
01:24My name is Tia.
01:28Tia is the exact name of a girl, so it is an exact naming word, or a proper naming word,
01:38and the word my is also used for the girl Tia, so it's a pronoun.
01:45I love my mother.
01:48In this sentence, mother is naming word, as it refers to a person, and I is also a
01:58word that refers to a person, but it's not a naming word.
02:04I is being used in the place of a naming word.
02:10She is very lovely.
02:12Now, she is used for in the place of a naming word, mother.
02:21She is a teacher.
02:23Again, she is used in the place of Tia's mother, so she is a pronoun here, a word that can
02:33be used in the place of a naming word.
02:37I love my dad, too.
02:39Here, dad is a naming word that refers to a person, and I referring to a person, but
02:48it's not a naming word.
02:50It is being used in place of the naming word, Tia, so I is also a pronoun.
02:59He is very handsome.
03:01Here, he means Tia's father, so he is being used in the place of a naming word, father.
03:10So we have seen I, he, she, my are used in place of naming words.
03:20We use I when we say something about ourselves, like I am going to the park.
03:27I am having food.
03:30I am having milk.
03:32I am reading a book.
03:36He is used in place of a naming word for any male person.
03:41I have a younger brother.
03:44He is playing with a ball.
03:47I love my father.
03:50He is a doctor.
03:53In both the sentences, he is being used in the place of naming word for a male person.
04:01She is used in the place of a naming word for a female person, like Tia is my friend.
04:11She is singing on the stage.
04:14Here, she is being used in the place of a naming word, Tia.
04:21She sings very beautifully.
04:24Again, she is being used in the place of a naming word, Tia.
04:31So these words like I, he, she replace a common naming word or a proper naming word.
04:42These words are also called pronouns.
04:46We will learn more such words.
04:51Here we have a conversation between an owl and a parrot.
04:56Hello, parrot.
04:58How are you, owl?
05:00I am good.
05:01How are you?
05:04Here the owl used I for himself and you for parrot.
05:12Why are you wearing a cap?
05:15Here parrot is using you for owl.
05:19Today is my birthday.
05:21Wow, happy birthday.
05:24So we see we use I for ourselves and you for the other person we are talking to.
05:36Please come to my birthday party.
05:38They are also coming.
05:41They means all my other friends.
05:45So kids, they is used for more than one person like they are dancing, they are playing.
05:57We are saying they because we are talking about more than one person.
06:03Let's have some more examples.
06:06Here we have some blanks.
06:09Let's fill them with I, you, he, she, or they dash am singing.
06:19We will place I here as I is always used with am.
06:25I am singing.
06:27No other pronoun can fit here.
06:30He am singing.
06:32She am singing doesn't sound right.
06:36So we will use I here.
06:40Dash is dancing.
06:43Here we can use he or she.
06:46He is dancing.
06:48She is dancing.
06:50Both are correct.
06:53Is suggests that we are talking about only one person.
06:58So he or she can fit here.
07:03Dash are dancing.
07:05We have are in the sentence.
07:09Are can be used with you and all the plural naming words.
07:14So we can either say you are dancing or we can say they are dancing.
07:21So both you and they can be placed here.
07:26Dash are playing in the park.
07:29Here is are in the sentence and are is used with you and all the plurals.
07:38So we can either say you are playing in the park or we can say they are playing in the
07:45park.
07:47Both are correct.
07:49I'm Joy and Dash is my brother.
07:54Is my brother suggests that we talking about one person and he suggests that it is a male
08:02person.
08:04So we will use he.
08:06I am Joy and he is my brother.
08:11I'm Tia and Dash is my friend.
08:17Is my friend suggests that one person is being referred to but friend can either be a boy
08:24or a girl.
08:27So we can use either he or she here.
08:33I am Tia and he is my friend.
08:37I am Tia and she is my friend.
08:41Both are correct.
08:42So kids, today we learned about words that can be used in the place of naming words.
08:49I, you, he, she or they.
08:54Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
08:57Bye bye.
