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).

Jemēla zȳhys perzī ondurilāt? Will you take up her flames yourselves?
Nykēla avy ossēninna. I will kill you myself.
