 Subject pronouns are used as the subject of the sentence:
He is my favourite uncle.
They live in a house in my street.
 Object pronouns are used as the direct or indirect object of a verb.
They are also used after prepositions:
Look at my new camera; I bought it yesterday.
Susan sent me a present.
Can I go to the party with them?
 Possessive adjectives accompany the noun:
My house is over there.
Where’s your car?
 Possessive pronouns substitute the noun:
Don’t touch that bicycle; it’s mine (= my bicycle).
This is my umbrella; yours (= your umbrella) is in the hall.
 Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of the
verb are the same person or thing. We also use them to emphasise.

Teacher: “Who did your homework?”
Student: “Nobody helped me; I did it myself”.
