Personal Pronouns
What is a Personal Pronoun?
A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense.
There’re two types of personal pronouns: Subject pronouns and object pronouns
We use personal pronouns when the person or thing is the subject of the sentence. For examples:
- I love cooking but she does not.
We use object pronouns when the person or thing is the object of the sentence.
- Peter likes her, not me.
