Underline 2 pronouns and explain

why they are pronouns.

That's not their house
at the end of the
street. She told me the
house had red shutters
and a blue door.

Can someone please help me and explain why it’s a pronoun

THEIR is a possessive pronoun, because it shows that something belongs to someone.

SHE is a personal pronoun, because it refers to someone.

“their” and “she” are the pronouns because they are taking place of a noun (meaning a name).

extending for understanding:
so for “she” it’s taking place of a woman’s name. the sentence could also be, for example, “sally told me the house had red shutters and a blue door.” “she” is holding the place of the name sally.
and for “their” it’s holding the place of name of a group of people. this sentence could be, for example, “that’s not the smith’s house at the end of the street.” “their” is holding the place of the smith’s.
