Subject Pronouns: These do the action in a sentence, like "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they."
Object Pronouns: They receive the action, like "me," "you," "him," "her," "it," "us," and "them."
Possessive Pronouns: These show ownership, like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their."
