English personal pronouns

What are personal pronouns?

Personal pronouns replace the nouns that function as the subject in a sentence hence why they could also be referred to as subject pronouns. 

It is important to note that in Modern English there is a lack of formal and informal "You" form as the same pronoun is used in the singular and plural form.

Through personal pronouns we can identify three categories:

• Number: Singular (I, You, He, She, It) or Plural (We, You, They)
• Gender: Masculine (He), Feminine (She), Neuter (It)
• Person: First (I), Second (You), Third (He, She, It)
