Pronouns and Determiners > Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns stand in for people, places, things and
ideas. There are subjective, objective and possessive personal
pronouns:
Subjective pronouns - I, You, She, He, They, We, It, Who
Objective pronouns - Me, You, Him, Her, Them, Us, It, Whom
Possessive pronouns - Mine, Yours, His, Hers, Theirs, Ours,
Its, Whose
A subjective personal pronoun acts as the subject of the
sentence:
- We will meet at the cinema at 7:30 p.m.
- When she was younger, she played volleyball.
- I am glad to see you again.
An objective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is
acting as an object:
- After reading the book, Andy lent it to his friend.
- They will meet us at the cinema tonight.
- Give it to me, please.
A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as
a marker of possession and defines who owns a particular object or person:
- Can Tim bring his puppy to school?
- This is mine.
- Ours is the blue one in front of the house.
