What Is a Pronoun?\n\nA **pronoun** is a word we use **instead of a noun (a person, place, animal or thing).**\nWe use pronouns so that we **do not repeat the same noun again and again**.\n\n:::example\n**Without a pronoun:**\n\"Mina is my friend. Mina is kind. Mina likes music.\"\n:::\n:::example\n**With a pronoun:**\n\"Mina is my friend. **She** is kind. **She** likes music.\"\n:::\n\nThe word **\"she\"** is a pronoun. It replaces the noun **\"Mina.\"**\n\nPronouns make sentences **shorter** and **less repetitive**.\n\n## 2. What Are Personal Pronouns?\n\nHere is a quick overview — we will explain each group below.\n\n**Personal pronouns replace people, animals, or things in a sentence.**\n\nThere are **three main groups** we will learn: subject pronouns, object pronouns, and possessive pronouns.\n\n### Subject Pronouns\n\nUsed as the **subject** of the sentence\n(I, you, he, she, it, we, they)\n:::example\n\"**She** likes pizza.\"\n:::\n\n### Object Pronouns\n\nUsed as the **object** of the sentence\n(me, you, him, her, it, us, them)\n:::example\n\"Give it to **me**.\"\n:::\n\n### Possessive Pronouns\n\nUsed to show ownership.\n(mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)\n:::example\n\"This book is **mine**.\"\n:::\n\n:::tip\nThe same person has a different form in each group:\n- **I** (subject) → **me** (object) → **mine** (possessive)\n- **she** (subject) → **her** (object) → **hers** (possessive)\n- **they** (subject) → **them** (object) → **theirs** (possessive)\n:::\n\nNow let us look at each group in detail.\n\n## 3. Subject Pronouns (Who Does the Action?)\n\nSubject pronouns tell us **who does the action** in a sentence. They usually come **before the verb**.\n\n* **I** – used to talk about yourself.\n:::example\n\"**I** like coffee.\"\n:::\n* **you** – used to talk to one person or more than one person.\n:::example\nOne person: \"**You** are my friend.\"\nMore than one person: \"**You** are all welcome.\"\n:::\n* **he** – used for one male person.\n:::example\n\"**He** works here.\"\n:::\n* **she** – used for one female person.\n:::example\n\"**She** is happy.\"\n:::\n* **it** – used for a thing, or for an animal when we do not use a name or specify male\u002Ffemale.\n:::example\n\"I have a cat. **It** is very small.\"\n\"Where is my phone? **It** is on the table.\"\n:::\n* **we** – used for yourself and other people together.\n:::example\n\"**We** are students.\"\n:::\n* **they** – used for more than one person, animal, or thing.\n:::example\n\"**They** live nearby.\"\n:::\n\n**Important rule:**\nThe pronoun **\"I\"** is always written with a **capital letter**.\n\n## 4. Object Pronouns (Who Receives the Action?)\n\nObject pronouns come after action words (verbs) or after prepositions like **to**, **for**, **with**, and **next to**.\nThey tell us **who or what receives the action**. Object pronouns replace the object in a sentence.\n\n:::example\n\"**She** called Tom.\" (She = subject — does the action)\n\"Tom called **her**.\" (her = object — receives the action)\n:::\nThe pronoun changes depending on its role in the sentence.\n\n* **me** – used when the action happens to the speaker.\n:::example\n\"Please give it to **me**.\"\n:::\n* **you** – used when the action happens to the person you are talking to.\n:::example\n\"I will give this book to **you**.\"\n:::\n* **him** – used for one male person.\n:::example\n\"She is sitting next to **him**.\"\n:::\n* **her** – used for one female person.\n:::example\n\"I have a gift for **her**.\"\n:::\n* **it** – used for a thing or an animal.\n:::example\n\"I have a new bag. I like **it**.\"\n\"Here is the food. The dog is eating **it**.\"\n:::\n* **us** – used for the speaker and others together.\n:::example\n\"He is coming with **us**.\"\n:::\n* **them** – used for more than one person, animal, or thing.\n:::example\n\"I am sending a message to **them**.\"\n:::\n\n:::alert\n**you** is the same for subject and object — it does not change!\n:::\n\n## 5. Possessive Pronouns\n\n**Possessive pronouns replace the noun.**\nThey are used **alone**, without a noun.\n\n* **mine** – something belongs to me\n:::example\n\"This book is **mine**.\"\n:::\n* **yours** – something belongs to you\n:::example\n\"The bag is **yours**.\"\n:::\n* **his** – something belongs to a male person\n:::example\n\"The jacket is **his**.\"\n:::\n* **hers** – something belongs to a female person\n:::example\n\"That phone is **hers**.\"\n:::\n* **its** – something belongs to a thing or an animal\n:::example\n\"The dog has a toy. The toy is **its**.\"\n:::\n:::warning\n**its** (no apostrophe) is the possessive pronoun. **it's** (with apostrophe) means \"it is\". These are different words.\n:::\n* **ours** – something belongs to us\n:::example\n\"The house is **ours**.\"\n:::\n* **theirs** – something belongs to them\n:::example\n\"The seats are **theirs**.\"\n:::\n\n## 6. Quick Summary\n\n* **Subject pronouns:** I, you, he, she, it, we, they\n* **Object pronouns:** me, you, him, her, it, us, them\n* **Possessive pronouns:** mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs\n\n:::alert\n* **Subject pronouns** do the action\n* **Object pronouns** receive the action\n* **Possessive pronouns** show ownership (mine, yours, etc.)\n:::","en","A1",1,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aede2-9876-7090-87bb-056a65d2a67a","Personal
