What this is

It's a template for generating a pronoun set and example sentence for reference and understanding.

Copy and paste

Copy and paste this into your page, and then type in the pronoun form after each =. For example, for the set "he/him", you would write subj=he |obj=him ... etc.

{{pronounshelp|pronounname= |subj= |obj= |posdet= |pospro= |reflex= |verbs=singular/plural (delete as appropriate) |name= }}

Please note that singular "they" uses plural verbs, even when talking about one person - so, despite the name singular "they", you would type verbs=plural.

Abbreviations

See also: Wikipedia's page on third-person pronouns.

Abbreviation	Full name	Example using "he/him" set
subj	subject (nominative)	He is writing
obj	object (oblique)	I wrote about him
posdet	possessive determiner	That's his notebook
pospro	possessive pronoun	That pen is his
reflex	reflexive	Sam wrote about himself
