Personal Pronouns

In general, a simple personal pronoun is a word used to represent the subjective or objective noun object of a sentence which is a definite object or an indefinite object that have been mentioned before.

As a representation of a singular subject, word "I" is used in first person, word "you" is used in second person, and words "he, she, it" are used in third person.

Since words "I" and "you" are used to represent a definite first or second person, the consideration of gender is not needed. But for a third person that have been mentioned before, the consideration of gender is needed to make the expression of a sentence more clear in sense. By means of gender, word "he" is for masculine object, word "she" is for feminine object, and word "it" is for neuter object, thing, animal and situation etc.

  1. I am a boy.
  2. You are a girl.
  3. Tom is a boy. He is a male.
  4. Mary is a girl. She is a female.
  5. A fire truck is a fire-fighting vehicle. It is red in color.
  6. A dog is a friend of humans. It is an animal.
  7. The user is not able to close the door properly. It is a problem.

As a representation of plural subjects, there is a corresponding plural form for each singular form, word "we" is used in first person, word "you" is used in second person, and word "they" are used in third person for all types of gender. Word "you" is the same for both singular and plural forms.

  1. Tom and I are travelling to Europe in May. We start in Italy.
  2. You and Mary form a couple. You are a team of two people that understand each other.
  3. Tom and Mary won a trip to Europe for 14 days. They plan to start at a later date.

As a representation of a singular object, word "me" is used in first person, word "you" is used in second person, and words "him, her, it" are used in third person. Word "it" is the same for both singular subject and object.

Since words "me" and "you" are used to represent a definite first or second person, the consideration of gender is not needed. But for a third person that have been mentioned before, the consideration of gender is needed to make the expression of a sentence more clear in sense. By means of gender, word "him" is for masculine object, word "her" is for feminine object, and word "it" is for neuter object, thing, animal and situation etc.

  1. The dog does not like me.
  2. I love you.
  3. Tom is a boy. Mary is walking with him.
  4. Mary is a girl. A dog is walking with her.
  5. Tom has driven the car. He loves It.
  6. Mary has a dog. She likes it.
  7. The order of things is messed up. Tom try to fix it.

As a representation of plural objects, there is a corresponding plural form for each singular form, word "us" is used in first person, word "you" is used in second person, and word "them" are used in third person. Word "you" is the same for both singular and plural forms.
