A pronoun is used in place of a noun or another pronoun. The word a pronoun
stands for is called the antecedent.

place of Kelly so Kelly is the antecedent.).

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT PRONOUNS AND WRITING
• First person pronouns (I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours) should almost never be used in informative/explanatory writing, unless it is a direct quotation.
• Second person pronouns (you, your, yours) should be treated like a plague. Pretend you are stranded on a deserted island and you have a stockpile of food that is has to last until the next cruise ship passes in six months. Second person pronouns are rodents that are trying to steal your food. You must rid the island (your writing) of the rats (second person pronouns)!
