              ✶ Sunil is going to a school.
              ✶ Goa is a beautiful place.
              ✶ My pen is broken.
           • Pronoun: Pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. They are used to avoid the repetition of nouns so that the
          sentences are smoother and effective. For example:
              ✶ She likes to play in sand on the seashore.
              ✶ It is our duty to keep our city clean.
           • Verbs: Verbs are “doing words”. It can be a word or a group of words that describes an action or a state of being.
          For example:
              ✶ Shruti danced to celebrate my victory.
              ✶ Gardener plucked the flower.
