Use

Personal pronouns can be used instead of specific names. We only use personal pronouns when we already know who or what someone is talking about. We use pronouns so we don’t have to say the name again.

• I work with Joanna. I see her every day.

Example:

Where is my tablet? I don't see it.

Explanation:

The personal pronoun it is used instead of the word ‘tablet’.

How to build

The personal pronouns that can be used as objects are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. These pronouns come after the verb.

• Tom sees me.

• Tom sees you.

The personal pronouns him, her, it, them, and us replace the specific name of the object.

• Tom sees John. → Joe sees him.

• Tom sees Jane and Kate. → Tom sees them.

• I want to speak to him.
