Pronombres personales 1ª, 2ª y 3ª persona del singular.

A pronoun is often defined as a word which can be used instead of a noun . For example, instead of saying John is a student , the pronoun he can be used in place of the noun John and the sentence becomes He is a student . We use pronouns very often, especially so that we do not have to keep on repeating a noun. This chapter is about the kind of pronoun called a personal pronoun because it often refers to a person. Like nouns, personal pronouns sometimes have singular and plural forms ( I-we, he-they ).

Unlike nouns, personal pronouns, sometimes have different forms for masculine/male, feminine/female and neuter ( he-she-it ) . Also unlike nouns, personal pronouns have different forms depending on if they act as subjects or objects ( he-him, she-her ). A subject is a word which does an action and usually comes before the verb, and an object is a word that receives an action and usually comes after the verb. For example, in the sentence Yesterday Susan called her mother , Susan is the subject and mother is the object. The pronoun she can be used instead of Susan and the pronoun her can be used instead of mother . The form of a personal pronoun also changes according to what person is referred to.
