already closed, what would he say without mentioning the word book?
+P.--+_It_ is closed.

for himself and for the others whispering with him, what would he say? _We_
whispered.

+T--+Suppose that a boy should inform me that all of the boys on that seat
had whispered, what would he say? +P.--+_They_ whispered.

instead of names. We call such words +Pronouns+.

+DEFINITION.--A _Pronoun_ is a word used for a noun+.

+CAPITAL LETTERS--RULE.--The words _I_ and _O_ should be written in capital
letters+.

+Oral Analysis--+This is a sentence, because----; _you_ is the subject,
because----; _will be rewarded_ is the predicate, because----.

+Parsing.--+_You_ is a _pronoun_, because it stands for the name of the
person spoken to; _will be rewarded_ is a verb, because----.
