Purpose of a Pronoun:
When writing or talking about a person, place, object, thing or idea, repeating the name (noun) in the sentence doesn't seem good.It seems strange.
For example:
Sunil is a teacher. Sunil always guides their students. Sunil works at Compuhelp.
No one likes such type of sentences, so then we use the Pronoun.
Sunil is a teacher.He always guides their students. He works at Compuhelp.
They make the sentence flow much better, but be careful not to use too many or things can get confusing—which is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.
For example:
Sunil is a teacher. He works at Compuhelp near his house. It is large with a white door.
It could refer to the house or the Compuhelp. So in this case the following works better:
Sunil is a teacher. He works at Compuhelp near his house. Sunil's house is large with a white door.
