Grammar: The Pronouns
A: Pronouns replace nouns and are used instead of nouns to break monotony in the narrative. In the paragraph below Pronouns have been highlighted.
Robert Jordon was a soldier. He went to Spain to sacrifice his life for the people of Spain which was burning just before WWII. He was always doing his best to beat the Fascists in Spain; but he was able to do only a bit for its security. Most of Spanish people were causal about their political matters. The others were divided into Republicans and Fascists due to their various perspectives. They didn’t initiate for their country by themselves until some foreigner like Jordon came and helped them.
From the Novel 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Earnest Hemingway
