Personal Pronouns.
Subject Pronoun. Replace nouns that are the subject of their clause.
In the 3rd person, subject pronouns are often used to avoid repetition
of the subject's name.
Object Pronoun. Are used to replace nouns that are the direct or
indirect object of a clause, when the object is affected by the action of
the subject, is normally used after a verb or a preposition.
Reflexive Pronouns. We use it as objects of verbs when the subject
and the object of the verb are the same or for emphasis. The reflexive
YOU in plural is YOURSELVES.
Possessive Pronouns. Replace possessive nouns as either the
subject or the object of a clause to avoid repetition.
Possesive Adjectives. Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but
rather determiners. It function as adjectives, so they appear before
the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as pronouns do. It is
used to show possession or ownership.
