When you think of pronouns, you most likely think first of personal pronouns. Personal pronouns are pronouns that change form based on their grammatical person—that is, based on whether they refer to the person speaking or writing (the first person), the person or thing being spoken to (the second person), or the person or thing being spoken about (the third person). Here is a list of the main personal pronouns :
- I/me
- she/her
- he/him
- they/them
- It
- we/us
- you
Here are a couple of example sentences with personal pronouns bolded and their antecedents underlined:
The new student will arrive today. They will need a seating assignment and a name tag.
My family loves nachos. We make them every Friday for movie night.
