GRAMMAR

A pronoun is an identifying word used instead of a noun and inflected in the

some way nouns are. Personal pronoun in English are he, she, it (called the third

Personal pronoun can change according to each function in the sentence.

Examples :

1. I am Baskara.

2. Let me introduce you to Mr. Smith.

3. Renata is my friend.

4. Renata is a friend of mine.

The underlined parts are personal pronouns.

physical nor intellectual activity, we should use the verb TO BE.
