PERSONAL PRONOUNS (KATA GANTI ORANG)

Belajar bahasa Inggris jadi lebih mudah kalau kamu memahami personal pronouns — kata ganti orang yang kita gunakan untuk menggantikan nama seseorang atau benda. Yuk, pelajari satu per satu secara santai dan jelas! 😊

 

📖 Apa Itu Personal Pronouns?

Personal Pronouns adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menggantikan nama orang, hewan, atau benda, agar kalimat tidak diulang-ulang.

Contoh:

Aco is my friend. Aco is a teacher.
→ He is my friend. He is a teacher.

Jadi, “he” menggantikan nama Aco.

Subjek	Arti	Contoh Kalimat
I	saya / aku	I am a student.
You	kamu / kalian	You are my best friend.
He	dia (laki-laki)	He is my teacher.
She	dia (perempuan)	She is very kind.
It	itu (benda / hewan)	It is a cat.
We	kami / kita	We are in the classroom.
They	mereka	They are happy.

💡 Tips Cepat:
Gunakan “it” untuk benda atau hewan (jika tidak disebutkan jenis kelaminnya).
