📝 Explanation:
-
Personal pronouns change based on the person (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and number (singular vs. plural).
- For
people, use
he/she/they depending on gender and number.
- For
objects or things, use
it.
- When a sentence includes
"I", the pronoun becomes
we if more than one person.
- Always consider
gender, number, and role (subject or object) when choosing pronouns.
