What does personal pronoun mean? What is the list of personal pronouns in English?

Personal pronouns are words used to replace nouns or noun phrases referring to people or things to avoid repetition in a sentence, making it more concise and easier to understand.

*Example:

Instead of saying: John is a student. John goes to school every day.

We can say: John is a student. He goes to school every day. (Here, "He" replaces "John").

Table of English Personal Pronouns:

Personal pronouns are classified based on person, number, and function (subject/object) in a sentence.

*Detailed Explanation:

First person (1st person): Refers to the speaker (I, we).

Second person (2nd person): Refers to the listener (you).

Third person (3rd person): Refers to the person or thing being mentioned (he, she, it, they).

Subject: Personal pronouns acting as the subject of a sentence, placed before the verb.

Object: Personal pronouns acting as the object of a sentence, placed after the verb or preposition.
