Personal pronouns are the most important group and also the one that will give
you the most problems in speaking and writing correct English. A personal
pronoun is a pronoun that shows by its form whether it refers to the person
speaking, the person spoken to, or the person or thing spoken of. All of the
personal pronouns, with the exception of the pronoun it, refer to persons.
