Subject pronouns DO the action (I, you, he, she, we, they). Object pronouns RECEIVE it (me, you, him, her, us, them). Possessive show ownership (my/mine, your/yours, his, her/hers, our/ours, their/theirs).
| Person | Subject | Object | Possessive |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | I | me | my/mine |
| you | you | you | your/yours |
| he | he | him | his |
| she | she | her | her/hers |
| we | we | us | our/ours |
| they | they | them | their/theirs |
Reflexive pronouns end in -self/-selves. Use them when the doer AND receiver are the same. 'I hurt MYSELF.' 'They enjoyed THEMSELVES.'
| Subject | Reflexive |
|---|---|
| I | myself |
| you (one) | yourself |
| he | himself |
| she | herself |

Reciprocal pronouns show a mutual action between two or more people. 'Each other' (2). 'One another' (3 or more). 'The twins love EACH OTHER.' 'The five friends helped ONE ANOTHER.'
