Personal Pronouns
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of one or more
nouns.
The most frequently used pronouns are called personal
pronouns. They refer to people or things.
Subject Pronouns
A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence.
• She is my best friend
• It is my cat
• Does he know the answer?
• You and I will meet later
Singular
Plural
Subject Pronouns

you
he, she, it
we
you
they
Object Pronouns
me
you
him, her, it
us
you
them
Pronouns and Antecedents
Read the following sentences. Can you tell to whom the
word She refers?
Arachne competes with Athena. She weaves skillfully.
The sentence is not clear because the word She could refer
to either Arachne or Athena. Sometimes you must repeat
a noun or rewrite the sentence.
Arachne competes with Athena. Athena weaves skillfully.
Pronouns and Antecedents
The noun or group of words that a pronoun refers to is
called its antecedent.
When you use a pronoun, you should be sure that it refers
to its antecedent clearly. Be especially careful when you
use the pronoun they. Read the following sentence.
They have several books about Greek myths at the library.
Pronouns and Antecedents
The meaning of They is unclear. The sentence can be
improved by rewriting it in the following manner.
Several books about myths are available at the library.
Pronouns and Antecedents
When using pronouns, you must also make sure that they
agree with their antecedents in number (singular or plural)
and gender. The gender of a noun may be masculine
(male), feminine (female), or neuter (referring to things).
Notice how the pronouns on the next slide agree with their
antecedents.
Pronouns and Antecedents
1. The myth of Arachne is amusing. I enjoyed it.
2. The bystanders see Athena. They watch her at the
loom.
In the first sentence, myth is the antecedent of the
pronoun it.
In the second sentence, bystanders is the antecedent of
They, and Athena is the antecedent of her.
Using Pronouns Correctly
Subject pronouns
are used in
compound subjects,
and object
pronouns are used
in compound
objects
• He and Carmen wrote a report on
the subject. (Not Him and Carmen)
• Tell John and me about Hercules.
(Not John and I)
Using Pronouns Correctly
A preposition takes
an object, just as
many verbs do. The
object of a
preposition can be
simple or
compound. In
either case, use an
object pronoun as
the object of the
preposition.
• Lee read a famous myth to me.
• Lee read a famous Roman myth to
John and me.
Possessive Pronouns
A possessive pronoun is a pronoun that shows who or what has
something. A possessive pronoun may take the place of a
possessive noun.
Read the following sentences. Notice the possessive nouns and
the possessive pronouns that replace them.

Possessive Pronouns

pronoun its, for example, shows possession. The word it’s, on the
