Numbers

Personal pronouns replace a name of a person in a sentence.

When Babe Ruth swung his bat, he hit the ball so hard with his bat that people often thought he would hit a home run.

If we put Babe Ruth in place of all the bold pronouns above the sentence would read as follows:

When Babe Ruth swung Babe Ruth's bat, Babe Ruth hit the ball so hard with Babe Ruth's bat that people often thought Babe Ruth would hit a home run.

Pronouns make the sentence shorter and easier to read and say.

Put the subject that the personal pronoun replaces in the parentheses in the sentence below.  For example:

Lynn loves her (Lynn) new golf clubs.  The personal pronoun her replaces Lynn.
