A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun


phrase. Pronouns is often use to avoid the need to repeat
the same noun over and over. Like nouns, pronouns can
refer to people, things, concepts, and places.

Without pronouns:
Budi lifted the log. Budi found a worm under the log.
With pronouns:
Budi lifted the log. He found a worm under it.
Personal pronouns represent specific people
or things. We use them depending on:
Number: singular (I) or plural (we)
Person: 1st person (I), 2nd person (you),
or 3rd person (he/she)
Gender: male (he) or female (she)
Case: subject (we) or object (us)
We use personal pronouns in place of the
person or people that we are talking about.
Subject
A subject pronoun functions as the subject of a verb.
That means that it represents the person/people or I
thing(s) that perform the action described. Because of
this, it normally appears at the start of the sentence,
followed by a verb. You

An object pronoun functions as the object of a verb
or preposition. That means that it represents the
person/peole or thing(s) affected by an action.
