PERSONAL PRONOUNS

1. A personal pronoun is a short word we use as a simple substitute for the
proper name of a person. Each of the English personal pronouns shows us the
grammatical person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces. I, you,
he, she, it, we they, me, him, her, us, and them are all personal pronouns.
Personal pronouns are the stunt doubles of grammar; they stand in for the
people (and perhaps animals) who star in our sentences. They allow us to
speak and write with economy because they enable us to avoid repeating
cumbersome proper nouns all the live-long day.
E:g-
This is Jack. Jack is my brother. I don't think you have met Jack.
This is Jack. He's my brother. I don't think you have met him.

2. Personal pronoun can be in one of three “persons.”
• A first-person pronoun refers to the speaker,
• a second-person pronoun refers to the person being spoken to,
• a third-person pronoun refers to the person being spoken of. For
each of these three grammatical persons, there is a plural as well.

3. Personal pronouns can be either subjects or objects in a sentence.
Subject pronouns are said to be in the nominative case, whereas object
pronouns are said to be in the objective case.

5. A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to point to
something specific within a sentence. These pronouns can indicate
items in space or time, and they can be either singular or plural.
There are just three simple rules for using them correctly.
1. Demonstrative pronouns always identify nouns, whether those nouns
are named specifically or not. For example: “I can’t believe this.” We
have no idea what “this” is, but it’s definitely something the writer
cannot believe. It exists, even though we don’t know what it is.
2. Demonstrative pronouns are usually used to describe animals, places,
or things, however they can be used to describe people when the
person is identified, i.e., This sounds like Mary singing.
3. Do not confuse demonstrative adjectives with demonstrative
pronouns. The words are identical, but demonstrative adjectives qualify
nouns, whereas demonstrative pronouns stand alone.

6. example :
This was my mother’s ring.
That looks like the car I used to drive.
These are nice shoes, but they look uncomfortable.
Those look like riper than the apples on my tree.
Such was her command over the English language.
None of these answers are correct.
Neither of the horses can be ridden.
