Forms Of The Personal Pronouns

The following are the different forms of the Personal Pronouns:-
                                                First Person    ( Masculine or Feminine )
                                                Singular                               Plural
Nominative                                   I                                          we
Possessive                                 my, mine                               our, ours
Accusative                                    me                                        us

                                               Second Person ( Masculine or Feminine )
                                                                Singular/Plural
Nominative                                    you
Possessive                                  your, yours
Accusative                                     you

                                               Third Person
                                                     Singular                                Plural
                        Masculine           Feminine       Neuter      All Genders 
Nominative           he                          she                 it                  they
Possessive           his                        her, hers           its              their, theirs
Accusative          him                         her                  it                 them
  • It will be seen that the possessive cases of most of the Personal Pronouns have two forms. Of these the forms my, our, your, her, their are called Possessive Adjectives because they are used with nouns and do the work of adjectives; as This is my book.    Those are your books.  That is her book. Possessive Adjectives are sometimes called Pronominal Adjectives, as they are formed from pronouns.    
  • The word his is used both as an Adjective and as a Pronoun; as, This is his book ( Possessive Adjective ),  This book is his ( Possessive Pronoun ).  In the following sentences the words in italics are Possessive Pronouns:-     This book is mine.    That book is hers.  That idea of yours is excellent.
