3. Pronouns You use pronouns all the time without thinking about it. For example, if I asked you what you did this morning you wouldn’t say: “ Evie got up at 7am. Evie had breakfast, got dressed, then practised Evie’s spellings...” Instead you would automatically use pronouns: “ I had breakfast, got dressed then practised my spellings.” etc.
