Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns represent specific
people or things. We use them depending on:
- number: singular (eg: I) or plural (eg: we)
- person: 1st person (eg: I), 2nd person (eg: you)
or 3rd person (eg: he)
- gender: male (eg: he), female (eg: she) or
neuter (eg: it)
- case: subject (eg: we) or object (eg: us)
We use personal pronouns in place of
the person or people that we are talking about. My name is Josef but when I am
talking about myself I almost always use "I" or "me", not
"Josef". When I am talking direct to you, I almost always use
"you", not your name. When I am talking about another person, say
John, I may start with "John" but then use "he" or
"him". And so on.
