Personal pronouns are words that replace nouns to refer to people or things. They help avoid repetition and make sentences more concise.
Think of personal pronouns as the superheroes of grammar. Just like superheroes save the day by taking on different identities, personal pronouns swoop in to take the place of nouns and save our sentences from being repetitive.
Subject pronouns: These are personal pronouns used as the subject of a sentence, such as "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they."
Object pronouns: These are personal pronouns used as the object of a verb or preposition, such as "me," "you," "him," "her," "it," "us," and "them."
Possessive pronouns: These are personal pronouns that show ownership or possession, such as "mine," "yours," "his," "hers", "its", "ours", and "theirs."
