Personal Pronouns

Before learning about different kinds of personal pronouns, review the basics of nouns and pronouns.
Nouns: Name of a person, place, or thing, for example – India, Delhi, cat, class, etc.
Pronouns: These are the words that we use in place of nouns, such as he, she, they, them, it, etc.
There are different kinds of pronouns:
Personal Pronouns
Reflexive Pronouns
Relative Pronouns
Subjective Pronouns
Objective Pronouns
Possessive Pronouns
Personal Pronouns: We use personal pronouns in place of the person we are talking about.
Personal pronouns can be further divided into:
First-person- I, me we, etc.
Second person– you, your.
Third-person– he, she, they, them, etc.
In other words, personal pronouns refer to the speaker (first person), the person has spoken to (second person), and the person/thing spoken about (third person). Additionally, the first, second, and third-person pronouns are used in singular or plural forms in the following ways:

  2. Negative situations: In these kinds of situations the order followed is 1st, 3rd, and 2nd or 1st, 2nd and 3rd For example I, he and you/I, you and he were blamed for the accident.
Lastly, personal pronouns must agree with the noun in number, person, and gender for which they stand.
