Mis see on?
Isikulised asesõnad on lühikesed sõnad, mida kasutatakse nimede või nimisõnade asemel.
Need aitavad vältida sama isiku, looma, koha või asja kordamist.
Inglise keeles on aluse ja sihitise asesõnad.
| Aluse asesõna | Sihitise asesõna |
|---|---|
| I | me |
| you | you |
| he | him |
| she | her |
| it | it |
| we | us |
| they | them |
Aluse asesõnad täidavad tegevust.

- They know my brother.
Sihitise asesõnad saavad tegevuse või tulevad prepositsiooni järel.
