I am studying my pronouns right now for sixth grade, while i was looking over the words,i saw that the word THAT is a pronoun, how can it be a pronoun?

Answer 1

"That" can be a pronoun when it stands for a noun.

Examples:

That is a great idea!

I don't understand that.

Answer 2

It's a pronoun when it's used in place of "which."

Answer 3

Answer 4

You're welcome. :-)

Answer 5

It is because a pronoun describes a noun.
