With personal pronouns, a person establishes:
-
Case - This refers to the grammatical role a pronoun plays in a sentence (e.g., subject, object).
-
Number - This indicates whether the pronoun is singular or plural.
-
Point of view - This denotes the perspective from which the sentence is expressed (first person, second person, or third person).
-
Gender - This reflects whether the pronoun is masculine, feminine, or neutral.
All four aspects are important in the use of personal pronouns.
