pronounce, pronouns

Pronounce or pronounce means to say a word or phrase in a particular manner--
In Boston, they pronounce some words differently.

How do you pronounce this word?

Pronounce may also mean to utter formally or with authority, as a judicial decision--
The judge will pronounce the sentence tomorrow.

Pronouns or pronouns is the plural ( more than one ) form of "pronoun", meaning a word used in place of a noun ( thing or idea ) or proper name ( specific person or place )--
He, she, and it are all pronouns.
I read your paper; some of your pronouns don't agree with their antecedents.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Read it again, and try to pronounce the pronouns correctly."
