A Handy Guide To English Grammar
(Original Version)
Pronouns:
Person Number Nominative Possesive Genitive Objective Reflexive/Intensive
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Singluar I my mine me myself
1 Plural we our ours us ourselves
2 Singular thou thy thine thee thyself
2 Plural ye/you your yours you/ye yourselves
3 Singular he his his him himself
3 Singular she her hers her herself
3 Singular it its its/it it itself
3 Plural they their theirs them themselves
Notes: The use of you as nominative and ye as objective are rare.
The use of it as genitive has privative meaning, with its used
otherwise.
Modern usage:
Thou is used only to indicate great respect for the addressee. The use
of ye in the nominative is restriced to imperative sentences, and uses
inverted word order. The use of ye in the objective is rare, and gives
an archaic tone. You is used with singular meaning, with an additional
declension yourself. They is used with singular meaning to indicate
indifference with repect to the gender of the referent. In all cases,
however, the original conjugations are tied to the pronoun used (grammatical
number and person) not the meaning of the sentence (actual number and
person). For example, "When a teacher speaks, they speak clearly."
