ScholarSkills: How to replace subject nouns with pronouns

 
Directions: Replace each noun that is written in bold with a subject pronoun. Remember, a subject pronoun is a pronoun that acts like and replaces the subject of a sentence.

Example: Buster is such a good dog.

He is such a good dog. ("He" is the subject pronoun. It replaces the subject "Buster" and also acts like a subject itself.)
