  already known noun or noun phrase to avoid
  duplication it in the statement. Pronouns are
  used as the members of the sentence and quite
  often act like subjects. Thats why it is
  essential to use pronouns accurately to not
  confuse the reader what nouns they address to.

There are different types of pronouns. Each of
them works for a different purpose in the
statement.

  personal pronouns. We use them to substitute
  nouns which are referring to people or things.

  sentence, we can divide them into subjective
  pronouns objective pronouns possessive
  pronouns reflexive pronouns.

  specific person, place, or thing? Right,
  subjective pronouns. I, he, she, it, you, etc act
  as verbs subjects in the statement

in your text is to know some tricky grammar
rules. Read the following and write correctly

  (it is the word which the pronoun is
  substituting)

  such as he or she, him or her and so on which
  involve two genders. However, such writing is
  rather clumsy but at the same time grammatically
  correct. Try to avoid such contractions if its
  possible.

  of new evidence.
