Personal Pronouns
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. This means that a pronoun renames a
person, place, thing, or idea.
Examples of Personal Pronouns:
We use pronouns so that we don't constantly have to repeat the noun.
Personal Pronouns are pronouns that replace specific people or things.
Some personal pronouns are subjective, meaning they are used as subjects of the main
clause or of a dependent clause. Other personal pronouns are objective, meaning that they
are used in predicates as objects or complements.
Examples of personal pronouns:
I (subjective)
Me (objective)

We use pronouns as substitutes for noun phrases. The pronoun and the noun phrase that it refers to mean the
same thing.
Subject Pronouns
What is a Subject Pronoun?
A subject pronoun is exactly what it sounds like: a pronoun that takes the place of a noun as the subject of a
sentence. Remember, a sentences subject is the person or thing that performs the action of a verb. When you take
an even closer look, youll see that a subject pronoun is used as the subject of a verb, while an object pronoun is
usually used as a grammatical object.
