Personal pronoun

A personal pronoun is a special noun that replaces another noun in a sentence.

A Simple Example
"John has a dog. John's dog is brown. John's dog likes food."

These sentences are strange because "John" is used 3 times. Instead we replace some of the "John"s with pronouns to make it sound more natural.

John has a dog. His dog is brown. It likes food.

1st, 2nd and 3 Person

 * The speaker is the first person. e.g. "I am speaking." or "We are speaking."
 * The listener is the second person. e.g. "You are listening to me."
 * Other people are the third person. e.g. "He is not listening." or "They are not listening."
