1. Personal pronouns

animal, place, or thing. In a sentence, personal pronouns can be used as a
subject (the subject of a verb) and object (the object of a verb).
a) Subject pronouns
Personal pronouns are used as the subject of
the verb is I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. Consider the following example
sentences:
- Lisa likes cats. She has four cats.
In the first sentence, Lisa (proper noun) is
the subject of the sentence or the subject of the verb likes. While in the
second sentence, she is the subject of the sentence and as a pronoun for Lisa.
Some examples of personal pronouns as
subject:
·

name is Michael. I am fourteen.
·

father works hard. He works in a factory.
·
My sister
is older than me. She is twelve.
·

dog is very naughty. It likes to chase cats.
·

you are a bad boy!
·
David
and I are playing football. We like sports.
·
Jim
and Jeff are my brothers. They are older than I am.
b) Object pronouns
Personal pronouns are used as the object of a
verb is me, you, him, her, it, us and them. Consider the
following example
sentences:
- Lisa likes cats. She likes to stroke them.
In the first sentence, cats are the object of
a sentence or the object of the verb likes. While in the second sentence, Them
is the object of the sentence and as a pronoun for cats.
Some examples of personal pronouns as
objects:
·

doing my homework. Dad is helping me.
·

children! I’ll call you later.
·

Garcia is very nice. All the children like her.
·

In
English grammar, speakers or people who spoke referred to the first person
(first person), while talk is the second person (second person), and the person
in question referred to in the third person (third person).
Here
is a table pronoun for the first person (first person), the second (second
person), and third (third person).
