Lesson 6| Pronouns

Personal Pronouns in English

Pronouns are nouns which are used instead of another noun ('pro', in place of 'noun', noun.)

There are three categories of pronouns which are divided up into persons: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In addition, pronouns can be singular or plural. They are declined like all other nouns.

Person Singular Plural
1st I we
2nd you, thou you (all)
3rd he/she/it they

Table of Personal Pronouns in all of their cases: I, you, he/she/it, we, y'all, they

Note: you is the singular of the plural y'all - useful for distinguishing you (singular) from you (plural).

Reflexive

The reflexive is used to provide added emphasis. It declines and is used like like a typical first lunar noun; it may be either a subject or an object per the following examples:

High Valyrian English
Hēzīr, brōza jevi jemēle iderēbilātās. From this day forward, you will choose your own names.
Jemēla zȳhys perzī ondurilāt? Will you take up her flames yourselves?
Nykēla avy ossēninna. I will kill you myself.
