Explanation
Her is used when we talk about a girl or woman. It has two uses. As an adjective, it comes before a noun to show something belongs to a female person. For example, âHer bag is redâ (means tothe bag belongs to her). As a pronoun, it is used as the object of a sentence, meaning it replaces a noun when the action happens to that person. For example, âI met her yesterdayâ (here âherâ is the object, replacing a female name). It helps us speak more naturally without repeating names.
