In English, we've come up with these lovely little words called PRONOUNS. Pronouns are NOT nouns, they REPLACE nouns. We use them when we want to shorten a sentence and to avoid sounding repetitive.
A Paragraph WITHOUT Pronouns:
Mrs. Hislop went for a walk yesterday. Mrs. Hislop saw some nice houses. Mrs. Hislop liked the nice houses. Mrs. Hislop wondered about the people who lived in the nice houses. Where did the people work? What were the people's names? Would Mrs. Hislop ever meet the people? Mrs. Hislop is sounding like Dr. Seuss right now.
A Paragraph WITH Pronouns:
Mrs. Hislop went for a walk yesterday. She saw some nice houses. She liked them. She wondered about the people who lived there. Where did they work? What were their names? Would she ever meet them? She is NO LONGER SOUNDING LIKE him.
