Just when you think English couldn\u2019t get any more confusing, we introduce you to English pronouns! The reason why people quiver<\/strong><\/span><\/em> when they see pronouns is because there are so many types. <\/p>\n

Luckily, we\u2019re here to show you that they\u2019re not so difficult to learn at all. Read on to discover six different English pronouns and when to use them. <\/p>\n

What are pronouns?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In English, a pronoun is a word that can replace a noun or noun phrase in a sentence. We use them to refer either to a noun that has already been said or to a noun that does not need to be named specifically. <\/p>\n

There are several types of pronouns that we need to use depending on the context of the sentence. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in<\/strong><\/span><\/em> and look at six of them in more detail now. <\/p>\n

1. Personal pronouns<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

You may be familiar with the most common types of pronouns: personal pronouns. There are three types of these:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • <\/i>First person: the person speaking<\/li>\n

  • <\/i>Second person: the person being spoken to<\/li>\n

  • <\/i>Third person: other people or things<\/li>\n<\/span>\n<\/ul><\/div>
    <\/div>\n <\/p>\n

    Similar to nouns, personal pronouns can act as the subject<\/strong> of a verb: For example, \u2018I like Gary<\/p>\n

    Or they can be the object<\/strong> of a verb or preposition. For example \u2018Gary likes me<\/strong>\u2019. <\/p>\n

    See the table below for the different forms: <\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    While they are called \u2018personal pronouns\u2019, they aren\u2019t limited to people and can also refer to animals and objects. For these things, we typically use the pronoun \u2018it\u2019. <\/p>\n
