The word "I" is a pronoun, a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of the noun or name of the person speaking as the subject of a sentence or a clause.

The corresponding personal pronoun that is used as an object in a sentence is "me".

These first person pronouns seldom have an antecedent. That is, the person speaking does not usually use their own name or a noun to refer to one's self.

Example uses:

I read a book on the plane. (subject of the sentence)

A man on the plane gave me the book. (indirect object of the verb)

As a passenger, I like to have something to occupy my mind. (the noun "passenger" is the antecedent of the subject pronoun "I")
