  • Personal pronouns are words that are used to replace nouns in a sentence, representing individuals or groups of individuals. Personal pronouns can take the place of the names of people or things and help avoid repetition in language. Here are the basic personal pronouns in English:
    First person:
    Singular: I, me (subject and object pronouns, respectively)
    Plural: we, us (subject and object pronouns, respectively)
    Second person:
    Singular: you (subject and object pronoun)
    Plural: you (subject and object pronoun) - note that "you" serves for both singular and plural in modern English.
    Third person:
    Singular: he, him (masculine), she, her (feminine), it (neutral) (subject and object pronouns)
    Plural: they, them (subject and object pronouns)
    Here are examples of how personal pronouns are used in sentences:
    I like to read books.
    Can you pass me the salt?
    We are going to the park.
    Have you finished your homework?
    She is coming to the party.
    The cat is sleeping; it looks comfortable.
    They are going on a trip.
    It's essential to use the correct pronouns to ensure clarity and accuracy in communication. Additionally, being aware of gender-neutral pronouns is becoming increasingly important for inclusive language use. Examples of gender-neutral pronouns include "they" (singular) and "themself" as an alternative to "himself" or "herself."
