Is his a personal pronoun

Answer 1

No, the pronoun 'your' is a possessive adjective, a pronoun placed before a noun to describe that noun.

A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

The corresponding personal pronoun to the possessive adjective 'your' is 'you', which takes the place of the noun (name) for the person spoken to.

Answer 4

No, someone is an indefinite pronoun.

Personal pronouns take the place of specific nouns (the names of people, places or things) and are used instead of a specific name to avoid repetition and to help ease the flow of sentences. Personal pronouns are usually placed into a sentence when the name of the noun has been previously mentioned, on the understanding that the reader knows what is being referred to.

There are two types of personal pronouns: subject and object:

1) Subject Pronouns - I, You, He, She, It, They, We

Subject pronouns replace the name of the subject in the sentence, e.g. Mr Smith did not come to work today, he was too ill.

2) Object Pronouns - Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them

Object pronouns take the place of the object in the sentence (the noun that receives the action in a sentence), e.g. To compensate the Smiths for their generosity, we took them for a meal.
