What is the difference between Personal and Object pronouns?

• Write all the personal and object pronouns.

◦ Subject Pronouns – They are short words used as substitute for the proper name of a person. Each
show the grammatical person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces. I, you, he, she, it, we
they, me, him, her, us, and them.
◦ Object Pronouns – Take into account that objects are what is affected by the action of the subject,
these are said to be in the objective case: me, you, him, her, them, it, us.
◦ Possessive Pronouns – They show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are
my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There’s also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns:
mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.
◦ Adjective Pronouns – Put it simply an adjective pronoun is an adjective used as a pronoun: my, your,
his, her, their, it's, our.
◦ Reflexive Pronouns – Used when the subject and the complement verb is the same.
