A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The most common are personal pronouns.

Personal pronouns take the place of nouns for specific people and things.

The personal pronouns are I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.

Pronouns in the first person (the person speaking):

The pronouns I and metake the place of the name of the person speaking:

I saw the posting for this job and I knew it was right for me.

When the speaker is speaking for more than just them self, the pronouns we and us take the place of all their names:

We are leaving at four, the car service will pick us up.

Pronouns in the second person (the person spoken to):

When speaking to someone, we don't always use their name, we use the pronoun you. The pronoun youis used when speaking to one, two, or more people:

I made a sandwich for you.

I made Sandwiches for all of you.

Pronouns in the third person (the person or thing spoken about):

When speaking about someone or something, we use the pronouns he and him for a male, she and her for a female, or it for a thing:

John is my brother. He is a student at the university. I miss him when he is away.

Mom made the cake. She bakes a lot. I can ask her to make something for you.

You may borrow the book. I think you will enjoy it.

When speaking about two or more people or things, we use the pronouns they and them:

Mom and dad are coming. I told them to be here at two, but theyare always a bit early.

The apples are locally grown. They look so good that I think I'll buy them.
