Personal Pronouns
A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense.
When discussing "person" in terms of the grammatical, the following rules apply :
- First person, as in "I"
- Second person, as in "you"
- Third person, as in "It, he, she"
