Pronouns

A pronoun is a word used in place of one or more nouns. The pronoun allows one to refer to a noun or an expression without repeating it.

Les touristes aiment voyager; ils vont partout.
(Tourists like to travel; they go everywhere.)

Pronouns can be grouped into six distinct categories: personal, demonstrative, possessive, relative, interrogative, and indefinite.

Each pronoun fulfills a specific role. All suitable agreements (gender and number) must be made as appropriate.
