PRONOUNS (VIWAKILISHI)

Haya ni maneno kama vile  I, you, he, she, it, we, they, us, ours, their ambayo yanatumika badala ya nouns (majina) kuonyesha mtu au kitu ambacho tayari kimeshatajwa, hasahasa tunatumia ili kuepuka kurudia rudia kutaja jina. Kwa mfano:

                       Ally was tired so he went home.
                      (Ally alichoka hivyo alienda nyumbani.)

                       Ally - jina (noun).........he - kiwakilishi (pronoun)

   Kwa mfano wa hapo juu, tumetaja jina la mtu kwa mara ya kwanza na mara ya pili tumetaja kiwakilishi chake ili kuepuka kurudia rudia kulitaja jina tena. Kama tusingetumia kiwakilishi sentensi ingekuwa kama hivi :

              Ally was tired so Ally went home.
              (Ally alichoka hivyo Ally alienda kulala.) - sentensi hii isingeleta maana nzuri sanaa. hivy0 ndo sababu tunatumia viwakilishi (pronouns). Tuangalie mifano zaidi :

       
           

Mifano ya pronouns ni kama vile :

I , You , She , He , It , We , They , Me , Yours , Ours , It's , Myself ,... N.K


JINSI YA KUTUMIA PRONOUNS (VIWAKILISHI)

Kama nilivyosema hapo juu kuwa tunatumia maneno haya kuwakilisha majina (Nouns) . Kwa mfano badala ya kusema :

" Asha lives here "...... Tunaweza kusema ... "She lives here "

Angalia mifano hii :

Asha lives here = > She lives here

Anna and I are living here = > We are living here .
