To underline pronouns in the given sentences, we first need to understand what pronouns are. Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns in a sentence. They are used to avoid the repetition of nouns and to make sentences more readable. Common pronouns include 'he', 'she', 'it', 'they', 'his', 'her', 'us', 'me', 'my', 'their', 'you', and 'your'. Let's go through each sentence one by one:
They are his friends.
'They' is a pronoun used to refer to a group of people or things previously mentioned or easily identifiable. 'His' is a possessive pronoun related to 'he'.
I am not happy.
'I' is a pronoun used by a speaker to refer to themselves.
She is playing with her doll.
'She' refers to a female person or animal previously mentioned or understood in the context. 'Her' is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership.
His two sisters met us .
'His' is a possessive pronoun indicating something that belongs to a male. 'Us' is a pronoun used to refer to the speaker and one or more people considered together.
Monu is my class fellow.
'My' is a possessive pronoun used to denote ownership by the speaker.
They gave me their books.
'They' refers to people or objects previously mentioned. 'Me' is a pronoun referring to the person being spoken to. 'Their' is a possessive pronoun for a group.
You study in my class.
'You' is a pronoun used to address one or more people. 'My' indicates ownership or association with the speaker.
It is your mistake.
'Your' indicates something that belongs to or is associated with the person or people being addressed.
Pronouns are words that replace nouns and help avoid repetition. In the given sentences, pronouns include 'they,' 'I,' 'she,' 'her,' 'his,' 'us,' 'my,' 'me,' 'you,' 'it,' and 'your.' They help clarify who or what is being discussed and indicate possession in some cases.
