 SUBJECT PRONOUNS
A pronoun that refers to a particular person, group, or thing. Like all pronouns, personal
pronouns can take the place of nouns and noun phrases.

These are the personal pronouns in English:

PERSONAL PRONOUNS SUBJECT OBJECT

First-person singular I Me

First-person plural We Us

Second-person singular and plural You You

He Him
Third-person singular She Her
It It
Third-person plural They Them

Also note that all of the personal pronouns except you have distinct forms indicating
number, either singular or plural. Only the third-person singular pronouns have distinct
forms indicating gender: masculine (he, him), feminine (she, her), and neuter (it). A
personal pronoun (such as they) that can refer to both masculine and feminine entities
is called a generic pronoun.

Examples:

I like coffee.

Do you like coffee?

She is clever.
 POSSESIVE ADJETIVES
Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership of something. While we
use them when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship than
ownership.

The possessive adjectives in English are as follows:

PERSONAL PRONOUNS POSSESIVE ADJETIVES

I My
You Your
He His
She Her
It Its
We Our
You Your
They Their

The possessive adjective needs to agree with the possessor and not with the thing that
is possessed.

Examples:

My car is very old.

Her boyfriend is very friendly.
Our dog is black.
Their homework is on the table.

Like all adjectives in English, they are always located directly in front of the noun they
refer to.

+
We do not include an S to the adjective when the noun is plural like in many other
languages.

Examples:

Our cars are expensive. (Correct)

Ours cars are expensive. (Incorrect)

However, the verb that is used needs to be in agreement with the noun - if the noun is
singular then the verb is singular; if the noun is plural then the verb is plural.

Examples:

My pen is black. (Singular)

My pens are black. (Plural)
Our child is intelligent. (Singular)
Our children are intelligent. (Plural)

Its vs. It's

Be careful not to confuse its and it's.

Its = The possessive adjective for It.

It's = a contraction of it is.
