Materi Personal Pronoun | Contoh Lengkap - Personal pronoun adalah kata ganti perseorangan yang dipakai untuk menggantikan noun atau mengambil alaih dari tempat noun tersebut.

These are the personal pronouns in English: 
Dalam bahasa Inggris, personal pronoun dibagi atas dua, yakni: Object Pronoun dan subject prounoun.

  Dalam personal Pronoun ada yang dikenal dengan " Personal Pronouns and Antecedents ". Di dalam sebuah kalimat kita bisa dengan mudah mengidentifikasi mana personal pronoun. Personal Pronoun biasanya digunakan pada seseorang atau benda yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya baik dalam percakapan mau pun tulisan. Begitu juga dengan noun phrase. Hal ini yang disebut dengan, "Antecendent". Dalam contoh di bawah ini, saya telah memiringkan huruf yang didentfikasi sebagai  antecedent.
• • The Example : 

  - John came home late. He was drunk.
  - Mary told John that she was leaving home.
  - I saw John and Mary this morning. They seem to have made up."

  (Jame R. Hurford, Grammar: A Student's Guide. Cambridge University Press, 1994)

Backward and Forward Reference

• "Personal pronouns juga sering digunakan pada  untuk backward (anaphoric) reference:

  The manager phoned me back. He was extremely apologetic.

  Sering juga personal pronoun digunakan untuk merujuk ke  forward (cataphorically). Berikut contohnya :

  She was walking along a tree-lined suburban road, unaware of what was about to befall her. Gillian Dawson had never been very aware of the people around her."

  Kata she seberanya belum diketahui jelas siapa. nanti pada kalimat selanjutnya dijelaskan dan kita bisa paham maksud dari rujukan She sebelumnya. nah itulah yang disebut  "cataphorically" dalam personal Pronoun.
  
  (Ronald Carter and Michael McCarthy, Cambridge Grammar of English. Cambridge University Press, 2006)
