Subject Pronoun.	Object Pronoun.
I	Me
You	You
He	Him
She	Her
It	It
We	Us
They	Them

We use pronouns so that we don't repeat names a lot. A pronoun replaces a name.
e.g. Henry is rich. Henry has a lot of money. = Henry is rich. He has a lot of money.

The subject pronoun does something and the object pronoun gets something.
e.g. Henry helps Susan. Henry helps Susan a lot. = Henry helps Susan. He helps her a lot.
e.g. Susan works with Henry and David. Susan likes Henry and David a lot. = Susan works with Henry and David. She likes them a lot.

Subject Pronoun.	Reflexive Pronoun.
I	Myself
You	Yourself(1)/Yourselves(2+)
He	Himself
She	Herself
It	Itself
We	Ourselves
They	Themselves

We use reflexive pronouns when the subject and object are the same.
e.g. I hurt myself. (another person did not hurt me)
e.g. He washed himself. (another person did not wash him)
e.g. They looked after themselves well. (another person did not look after them)

If we put the word "by" before the reflexive pronoun, it means that the person, animal or object is or does something alone.
e.g. I am by myself. = I am alone.
e.g. We did it by ourselves. = We did it alone without help from anyone else.
e.g. It broke by itself. = It broke without something or someone else causing it to break.

Possessive Adjective.	Possessive Pronoun.
My	Mine
Your	Yours
His	His
Her	Hers
Its	Its
Our	Ours
Their	Theirs

The possessive adjective tells us who owns something.
e.g. I have a red car. My car is red. (The word "my" tells you that I own the car.)
e.g. We have a green car. Our car is green. (The word "our" tells you that we own the car.)

The possessive pronoun is one word that replaces two words. The two words are the possessive adjective and the thing owned.
e.g. This car is my car. = This car is mine. (my car = mine)
e.g. That dog is her dog. = That dog is hers. (her dog = hers)
