Substitute, Please!

Mr. Griot introduces pronouns using a basketball analogy, explaining how pronouns substitute for nouns in sentences. The video covers subject, object, and relative pronouns, providing examples for each type. Subject pronouns replace the subject of a sentence, while object pronouns replace the object. Relative pronouns connect parts of a sentence, with examples like 'who', 'whom', and 'which'. The tutorial aims to help students understand the roles and types of pronouns in language arts.
