Class 1 English - ICSE
Pronouns: He, She, It, They
In this Class 1 ICSE English grammar chapter, young learners explore pronouns, specifically the words 'He', 'She', 'It', and 'They'. Pronouns are special words we use in place of naming words or nouns to make our sentences sound better and avoid repeating names. Students learn that 'He' is used for boys and men, 'She' is for girls and women, 'It' is for animals, places, and things, and 'They' is for more than one person or thing. Mastering these words is very important for the ICSE board exams as it forms the foundation of sentence building and basic paragraph writing.
