PRONOUN

Pronouns replace nouns. (Pronouns are usually short words.) I, you, he, she, it, we, they and who are all pronouns. As these pronouns often replace nouns representing people, they are called the 'personal pronouns'.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS CHANGE

Personal pronouns change depending on the role they place in the sentence. In general, this does not cause difficulties for native English speakers. The changes are:

I = me             he = him        she = her

we = us          they = them    who = whom

'You' and 'it' never change. The pronouns shown first above (like 'I' and 'he') are said to be in the 'subjective case'; whereas, the second versions (like 'me' and 'him') are said to be in the 'objective case'
