hon

"Hon" means "she" in English.


The word 'hon' is used as the subject of the sentence, referring to a female person performing the action of reading.

Hon läser en bok.

She is reading a book.


Here, 'hon' is used as the subject in the subordinate clause, indicating the female person expected to arrive.

Jag vet att hon kommer att vara där.

I know that she will be there.


In this case, 'hon' incorrectly replaces 'henne', which illustrates a common mistake due to 'hon' being nominative, but it was intended to mean 'her' in accusative.

Katten sover bredvid hon.

The cat sleeps next to her.
