What are the Personal Pronouns? Examples & Definition

Personal pronouns are pronouns that are associated with a particular person – first person (as I), second person (as you), or third person (as he, she, it, they).

Personal pronouns are pronouns that are associated with a particular person – first person (as I), second person (as you), or third person (as he, she, it, they). Personal pronouns may also take different forms depending on number (usually singular or plural), grammatical or natural gender, case, and formality.

Personal pronouns provide us with the following information:

  • The person – Who is speaking?
  • The number – Is the pronoun plural or singular?
  • The gender – Is the pronoun feminine, masculine, or neuter?

 

Examples of personal pronouns-

1. You need to stop talking to me.

2. We would love for you to join us.

3. Come look at my girl! She has climbed the table herself.

 

Personal Pronouns as Subject Pronouns

Subject pronoun is any pronoun that is used to replace a common or proper noun as a sentence’s subject.

If you are using a personal pronoun to talk about a person, animal, place, or thing that also happens to be the subject of a sentence, then it is classified as both a personal pronoun and a subject pronoun.

 

 

Personal Pronouns as Object Pronouns

When a personal pronoun is the direct or indirect object of a verb, or when it is used as the object of a preposition, it is called an object pronoun. In other words, it is any pronoun that is affected by the action the subject of the sentence takes.

 

Pronouns that are both subject pronouns and object pronouns-

There are seven object pronouns that also happen to be personal pronouns: 

me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.
