Pronoun
Understanding Personal Pronoun
Personal pronouns are pronouns that are used to people, animals, objects, or things specifically. Form of the pronoun is dependent on the role (subject, object, possessive), the amount, the ke-, dangender of the noun being replaced.
Conversion of the Personal Pronoun
Unlike the noun which has the same form as function sebagaisubject or object and adding the apostrophe when functioning sebagaipossessive, changes to the pronoun refers to several parameters, namely:
• case (subjective, objective, and possessive)
• number (singular and plural)
• Person (first, second, and third)
• gender (female, gay male, and neutral)
Changes in the shape of these pronouns can be seen in the following table.

Vina and me, to her wedding party. [her best friend = object; Vina and me = appositive; me = objective pp]
