A personal pronoun is a short word used as a simple subs3tute for the proper name of a person,
it can show us the gramma3cal person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces.

and them.

How to use personal pronouns in a sentence?

Personal pronouns can either be subjects or objects in a sentence. Subject pronouns are words
used instead of nouns when talking about people, things, places and animals, subject pronouns
are used as the subject of a verb. While object pronouns represent the people or things that are
involved in an ac3on, object pronouns usually appear aBer a verb or preposi3on.

Rules of personal pronouns

A personal pronoun always agrees with the noun it replaces.
Example:
- My friend and I are going to the library. Would you Like to join us?
- James studies hard. He will do well.
- That woman is my tutor. Do you know her?

Do not add an adjec3ve before a personal pronoun, subject pronouns can have adjec3ves aBer
the verb.
Example:
- Not, “handsome him”, “beau3ful she”, “clever they”.
- But “She looked beau3ful”, “they are very clever”.
