Answer 5

No, the words 'you' and 'he' are personal pronouns, words that take the place of nouns for people in a sentence.

The pronoun you is the second person (takes the place of a noun for the one spoken to) pronoun, used for both singular and plural, both subject and object in a sentence.

The pronoun he is the third person (takes the place of a noun for a male, the one spoken about), singular pronoun, used as the subject of a sentence or a clause. The pronoun 'him' is the corresponding object pronoun that takes the place of a noun for a male.

Example uses:

You are a good friend. I can always trust you.

John is also a friend. He can also be trusted, I count on him.
