Personal Pronouns, Possessive Pronouns and Reflexive Pronouns

 Personal Pronouns

A personal is pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense.
When discussing “person” in terms of grammatical, the following rules apply:
·         First person, as in “ I ”
·         Second person, as in “ you ”
·         Third person, as “ it, he, she ”
Personal pronouns may take on various forms depending on number (singular or plural for the most part). They may also take different forms depending on case, gander, or formality. It is important to note that personal pronouns may refer to objects, animals, or people.

Personal Pronouns a Subject and Object Example
·         Subject Pronoun : Do you like milk?
         I like milk.
·         Object Pronoun : Does Mary know her?
        Lala loves you.




Possessive Pronouns

A possessive pronoun is a part of speech that attributes ownership to someone or something. Like any other pronoun, it substitutes a noun phrase and can prevent its repetition. For example, in the phrase, “ These glasses are mine, not yours “, the words “ mine “ and “ your “ are possessive pronouns and stand for “ my glasses “ and “ your glasses “, respectively.

Possessive pronouns as Subject and Object Example
·         Subject : Look at these picture. Mine is the big one.
    All the essays were good but his was the best.
·         Object : I like your flowers. Do you like mine?
    My flowers are drying. Your are lovely.



Reflexive Pronouns

A reflexive pronoun is a type of pronoun that is preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun or noun to which it refers, so long as that antecedent is located within the same cluse. In English grammar, a reflexive pronoun indicates that the person who is realizing the action of the verb is also the recipient of the action.

Reflexive Pronouns Example
I saw myself in the mirror.
Why do you blame yourself?
