Personal Pronoun is Sentence making:

1st Person I - We

2nd Person You - You

3rd Person He, She, It and any name - They



In the sentence making process we always use a formula of Subject and Verb. If in a subject there is plural subject then verb will take place plural. If in a sentence subject is singular then verb also will take place with singular.

Singular subject = Singular Verb
Plural Subject = Plural Verb

Verb in its original form always remain as plural. To make it singular we add “s” or “es” normally.

Noun normally remains as singular but to make it plural we add normally “s” or “es”.
