Personal pronouns
Theory
Personal pronouns are used to replace a noun that refers to a person, an animal or a thing.
There are two types of personal pronouns depending on their function in the sentence. There are subject personal pronouns and object personal pronouns.
Examples of subject personal pronouns:
- I like your house.
- You seem distracted.
- He/ She wrote a book.
- It is raining.
- We live in London.
- They are visiting us.
Examples of object personal pronouns:
- Can you help me, please?
- She doesn't love him.
- He doesn't love her.
- We saw them in town yesterday, but they didn't see us.
Examples of object personal pronouns are used after prepositions:
- She is waiting for me.
- I will get a present for you.
- Can you give it to him?
- Why are you staring at her?
