Personal pronouns are
pronouns that are associated primarily with a particular
grammatical person – first person (as
I), second person (as
you), or third person (as
he,
she,
it). Personal pronouns may also take different forms depending on
number (usually singular or plural), grammatical or natural
gender,
case, and formality. The term "personal" is used here purely to signify the grammatical sense; personal pronouns are not limited to people and can also refer to animals and objects (as the English personal pronoun
it usually does).
