Example :
- Rosma is my best friend. She lives in Jayapura. She has many hobbies, some of them are fishing and watching movies.
- Michael is generous young man. He is my neighbor. He is from Sentani, but he lives in Waena.
When we talk to someone or people, kita tidak perlu mengulangi nama orang berkali-kali dalam beberapa kalimat, seperti contoh dibawah ini :
- Rosma is my best friend. Rosma lives in Jayapura. Rosma has many hobbies, some of them are fishing and watching movies.
- Michael is generous young man. Michael is my neighbour. Michael is from Sentani, but Michael lives in Waena.
Berdasarkan dua contoh diatas, kita bisa melihat bahwa dalam menulis atau bahkan berbicara, kita tidak perlu mengulang nama atau benda berkali-kali, cukup mengantikannya dengan pronouns.
Dari contoh dan penjelasan diatas dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa Pronous atau kata ganti orang adalah sebuah kata yang dapat mengantikan kata lainnya (noun/kata benda).
