What is a Personal Pronoun?

A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, which represents a person, a group of
people, or a thing. We use personal pronouns so we don’t have to repeat the same noun again and again
in a sentence.

Types of Personal Pronouns


1. Subject Pronouns: These are used as the subject of a sentence.
Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
• Example sentence: She is reading a book.
2. Object Pronouns: These are used as the object of a verb or preposition.
Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
• Example sentence: The teacher gave us homework.
3. Possessive Pronouns: These show ownership or possession.
Examples: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs.
• Example sentence: This book is mine.
1. I like to play basketball every afternoon.
2. You are a very good friend.
3. He brought his favorite toy to school
4. The teacher asked her to join the team.
