Pronouns are used in place of nouns. They enable speakers to refer to something or someone
without having to repeat its name.
Example:
Mr. Jones lives in Kentucky. He frequently travels to Memphis to see his wife. She is
a lawyer and only sees him on weekends.
The subject and object pronouns in English are as follows:
Subject
I
You
He
She
It
We
They
Object
Me
You
Him
Her
It
Us
Them
Use subject pronouns when the pronoun refers to the doer of the action or the main topic
(subject) of the sentence.
Henry hit a baseball over the fence.
He didn't know where it would land.
It went right through Mrs. Crabby's window.
She was furious. She called Henry's parents and told them what happened.
Henry had to pay for the window with his hard-earned money.
He wasn't too happy about that, but he learned a lesson.
Now, he only plays baseball at the ball park.
Use object pronouns when the pronoun refers to the receiver of the action or is the object of
a prepositional phrase.

4. Ms. Lindon met her husband in a gold mine.
The first time she saw him, she was in love.
He also liked everything about her.
He asked her to marry him the next day.
Many friends joined them in the wedding celebration.

Do not use subject pronouns in the object position or vice versa.

1) General rule
English nouns rarely change form, even to indicate gender. As a general rule, only

7. nouns referring to people and some animals reflect gender in their form. By the same
token, unlike many other languages, the adjectives modifying nouns will remain
unchanged.
Example: My poor little dog died.
2) However, certain nouns -- especially those referring to people -- may have different
forms to indicate masculin or feminine usage:
man -- woman
gentleman -- lady
actor -- actress
uncle -- aunt
father -- mother
The same can be said of certain male and female animals:
a buck, a doe
a ram, a ewe
a bull, a cow
a stallion, a mare
3) In other cases, the word "male" or "female" is added, if it is considered necessary to
be specific:
a female cat
a male giraffe
4) Pronouns
Note: If the gender of the person or animal is known, one will generally use the pronoun
"he" or "she" to refer to it, as appropriate. When the gender is left unstated, the
pronoun "he" is generally used when speaking of people, or "it" when speaking of
animals. Some objects are also considered to be gendered in certain usages: some people
may refer to a boat or a car as "she."
5) Man/Woman
Certain nouns (especially the names of professions) are traditionally associated with
men or women, in which case one signals exceptions to the tradition by adding
"woman" (or "lady") or "man" to the term:

8. They are in a group of male dancers.
My wife prefers to see a woman doctor.
