Personal pronouns
We use personal pronouns so that we do not need to repeat certain words all the time.
Here is an example. We do not want to repeat the manager all the time, so we use she.
The manager came. The manager said, ‘You are both welcome, sir.’
The manager came. She said, ‘You are both welcome, sir.’
