A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun.
Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence.
Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Examples:
- We swam in the pool for hours. (We = subject, swam = verb)
- Maria baked cookies for her friends. (Maria = subject, baked = verb)

Possessive nouns show ownership.
To make a noun possessive, add an apostrophe and an "s" to the end of the noun.
Examples:
- The cat's toy is on the table.
- I borrowed Mark's book from the library.
- All of the hospital's nurses are on duty.

A sentence fragment is a group of words that doesn't have a subject and a verb.
A run-on sentence is two or more complete sentences joined together without proper punctuation.

"They’re" is the contraction for "they are". "There" is a place. "Their" shows possession.
