Table of Basic Personal Pronouns

The basic personal pronouns of modern English are shown in the table below. (For the distinction between the forms, see the previous section, and Case usage below.)

**Personal pronouns in standard Modern English**
		Singular					Plural
		Subject	Object	Possessive determiner	Possessive pronoun	Reflexive	Subject	Object	Possessive determiner	Possessive pronoun	Reflexive
First		I	me	my	mine	myself	we	us	our	ours	ourselves

Third	Masculine	he	him	his		himself	they	them	their	theirs	themselves
	Feminine	she	her		hers	herself
	Neuter	it		its	-	itself

Other English pronouns which have distinct forms of the above types are the indefinite pronoun one, which has the reflexive oneself (the possessive form is written one's, like a regular English possessive); and the interrogative and relative pronoun who, which has the objective form whom (now confined mostly to formal English) and the possessive whose (which in its relative use can also serve as the possessive for which).
