B. Personal Pronouns: subject (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) and object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them)
a. use he or him to refer to men, and she or her to refer to women.
b. When we are not sure if we are talking about a man or a woman we use they or them. (e.g. Ask them to help you. You could go to a doctor. They might help you.)
B1. use Subject Pronouns as subject of the verb (e.g. It is raining. She is on holiday.)
a. English clauses always have a subject. (e.g. His father has just retired. He was a teacher.)
B2. use Object Pronouns as the object of the verb. (e.g. Can you help me please? I can see you.) and after prepositions (e.g. She is waiting for me. I’ll get it for you.)
B3. We use ‘you‘ and ‘they’ to talk about people in general including the speaker and the hearer. (e.g. You (or they) can buy this book anywhere -> This book is on sale everywhere.)
a. We use ‘they’, especially about the government and the authorities. (e.g. They are going to increase taxes. They say it’s going to rain tomorrow.)
B4. If there is no other subject we use it or there. We call this a dummy subject.
B5. use Personal Pronouns, not reflexives, after prepositions of place. (e.g. He had a suitcase beside him.)
a. after ‘with‘ when it means ‘accompanied by’. (e.g. She had a few friends with her.)
