Pronoun Case

first know what a pronoun is and what the personal

“A pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun.”
Example:

for the nouns.

The original pronouns used for the first example (Joe loves Martha.
and He loves her.) CANNOT be used for Martha loves Joe.
The personal pronouns have 3 cases:
