Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns are used to represent people. They can show

first person (the speaker), second person (the person being
spoken to), or third person (the person being spoken about).

If the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, we say it is a

subject pronoun (sometimes called a nominative pronoun). If the pronoun
is the object of the sentence, we say it is an object pronoun.

Person Object Pronouns – Singular Object Pronouns - Plural

1st Me Us
2nd You You
3rd Him/Her/It Them

pronoun is a subject pronoun or “O” if the pronoun is an object pronoun.
