Pronouns
A pronoun is a word we use instead of repeating a person's name — I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. Once we know who we're talking about, we use a pronoun instead of saying the name again and again.
The rule
I / you / he / she / it / we / they
Right and wrong
Rahul is happy. He is happy.
Rahul is happy. Rahul is happy.
The second sentence repeats the name — use "he" instead.
I am from India.
Me am from India.
Use "I" as the subject of a sentence, not "me".
They are my parents.
Them are my parents.
Use "they" as the subject, not "them".
She works in Delhi.
Her works in Delhi.
Use "she" as the subject, not "her".
