Os PERSONAL PRONOUNS são os pronomes pessoais em Inglês. Eles representam as pessoas, e estão divididos em: SUBJECTIVE PRONOUNS e OBJECTIVES PRONOUNS.

Os SUBJECTIVE PRONOUNS são usados como SUJEITO da oração. Aquele que pratica a acção.

Observe:

I am a teacher.

You are a student.

She is a good girl.

Perceba que SUBJECT PRONOUN é posicionado sempre antes de um verbo:

Chris is not at home. He is at work now.

Susan is a doctor. She is brilliant!

Computers are not cheap. They are expensive.

O pronome IT merece uma atenção especial, uma vez que não temos um

correspondente em Português. Além de ser usado para falar das coisas, dos objetos e dos animais, também usamos IT para falar:

• Das horas – IT IS TEN O’CLOCK NOW.

• Dos dias da semana – IT IS MONDAY.

• Do clima/ tempo – IT IS SUNNY. / IT IS COLD.

• Das distâncias – IT IS 2 MILES TO THE TOWN CENTRE.

Os OBJECTIVE PRONOUNS, por sua vez, representam o OBJECTO, que pode ser DIRECTO ou INDIRECTO.

Observe:

Martin loves her. I want to talk to you. Give me the money!

Perceba que ele é posicionado sempre depois do verbo ou depois de uma preposição.

There is Carmen. Let’s talk to her. 

That is my friend Bob. I live near him.
