Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:
• number: singular (eg: I ) or plural (eg: we )
• person: 1st person (eg: I ), 2nd person(eg: you ) or 3rd person (eg: he )
• gender: male (eg: he ), female (eg: she ) or neuter (eg: it )
• case: subject (eg: we ) or object (eg: us )
We use personal pronouns in place of theperson or people that we are talking about. My name is Josef but when I am talking about myself I almost always use "I" or "me", not "Josef". When I am talking direct to you, I almost always use "you",not your name. When I am talking about another person, say John, I may start with "John" but then use "he" or "him". And so on.
